\ \ Britain, he pointed out, was not important in regard to the _ outcome of the war. Nor, he added, is Russia's limited aid to China of decisive rature on the struggle in the Far Kast. - Therefore, such material aid to Britain and China does not come within the scope of the new agreement pledging Japan, Germany and Italy to fight as a common foe any nation that' interferes in their program for ‘‘new orders” in Europe, Asia and Africa. But the dispatch of American-built airplanes on a

big scale or the sale of “flying fortresses” to Britain might|

be of utmost importance in the trend of the war and might be regarded by the Nazis as affecting the final outcome— and therefore constituting interference such as the triple alliance is designed to combat.

Seek to Reassure South America

Nazis also sought to reassure South America that Germany has no plans for interference in the Western Hemisphere.’ Official Berlin sources explained that the “new world order” gives Europe and Africa to to German-Italian dominance, a large part of Asia to Russian control, the Far East to Japan and “recognizes the United States as the leading power in the Western Hemisphere.” Buenos Aires newspapers said, however, that Latin America feared that the alliance would force the United States into war and that South America would be the victor’s prize. Foreign diplomats believed that Britain might retaliate hy reopening the Burma Road into Nationalist China to permit munitions shipments to Chiang Kai-shek, divert to Britain or the United States as many shipments as possible from British Dominions which were intended for Japan and to renew efforts to get the United States Navy to use the British base at Singapore.

Russia Still Question Mark -

The position of Russia remained the biggest question | mark and potentially the most important factor in the crea-| tion of totalitarian “new order.” Moscow published news of the new alliance but was

strictly silent in regard to its importance to the Soviet|

Union. In the Far East, however, the Japanese were reported to be attempting to get together with the Soviets in order to clear the way for Japanese expansion southward without worry as to Russia's actions. Advices from Shanghai indicated that Japan hoped to conclude with Moscow a pact similar to the German-Russian friendship treaty. ' Russian circles in London ald that Russia probably would continue to give extensive support both in war materials and political aid to China. In Japan, there were blunt and vigorous attacks on the United States, with the Japan Times—regarded as a Foreign Office mouthpiece—asserting that “bungling” by the U. S.| State Department had brought “war perilously close to the Pacific Ocean.” Japan, it was stated, is prepared for any emergency | that might arise in relations with the United States and

That bright “insect” at the right is a good-sized plane—but miles away. It was “spotlighted” by the 800,000,000 candle-power beam of one of the Army's new anti-aircraft searchlights, being tested at Schenectady, N. Y. The 60-inch lights, for which a $7,777.500 order has been placed, are so powerful that a person in a plane 12 miles away can read a newspaper by the light of one.

ests of the United States and the E treaty rights of American citizens in the Far East are to be observed.” He reaffirmed the Administration's policy of giving material assistance to Great Britain and the Dominions “in what we hope will be their successful defense against; armed ag-| gression.” “It is becoming trite to say that, what we are witnessing in the world today is not a world war, but a world revolution,” he said. “It Is indeed an attempt at world revolution, a revolution in the sense that we are seeing new manifestation of the age-old struggle of the lowest that is in human nature against the highest, of barbarism against civilization, of darkness against light.”

Tells of Defense Efforts

Mr. Welles said the war could Ihave been averted by reason and good will. “But power of public opinion based on international opinion disintegrated and was re- | placed by the rule of brute force.” The undersecretary said that even while the United States made efforts for arms limitations from 1933 to 1938, national defense, was hot # | neglected. The Navy was brought up to treaty strength and the military personnel was increased, Now the defense program has been brought to a point capable of Rigeting any emergency, he said.

| Singapore. | About the only remaining route by which we might send in supplies is the long, slender and none-too-good = Burma Road, via Rangoon and Mandalay to the headwaters of the Yangtze. But | Japan is already in French Indo- | China and is virtually the ally of ! Thailand (Siam). Hence she could cut the Burma Road without much difficulty or delay. ‘ Finally, it is observed, war now would put the American Navy in a] spot. Use of the fleet anywhere in the vicinity of Singapore would be! extremely perilous as long as any, day might witness the destruction or serious crippling of the British Fleet whose chief job just now is to, prevent the Nazis from crossing the English Channel. Should anything happen to the British fleet, the Atlantic coastline would be exposed from Newfoundland to Cape Horn. Within five months Britain's heavier ships of the line will almost be doubled. American airplane production will be materially superior.

A few days before the German troop movement in Finland began, | Russian troops were landed at the Finnish port of Hango, ceded to Russia as a naval base after the Russo-Finnish war. Hango guards the entrance to the Gulf of Finland, protecting the approaches to Leningrad. This military concentration could only be directed against Germany, since the Germans alone have sufficient power in the Baltic to threaten Leningrad. It may well have followed advance information at Moscow that the German-Ital-ian-Japanese alliance was about to be signed. The Germans selected as their Finnish landing place the strategic port of Vasa, northwest of Hango, on the Gulf of Bothnia. There is no reason why Vasa should be used as an entrance for sending German troops to Norway. The route is circuitous and costly, and far longer than the normal passage from Germany direct to the Norwegian or Swedish coast. The Fin-
