favor of entrance into the war, have so far paid a high price for a very few thrills. A‘ new ally— even one of questionable value— can be used as a tonic for wobbly morale,

It is for Japan that the pact will lave a considerable moral, even if little material value. Not even an Ironclad censorship has been able to conceal from the world the fact

- that Japan's internal situation is

bad, very bad, economically and from the standpoint of waning enthusiasm for the China affair. With a totalitarian press eliminating most of the information they would most like to have, the Japanese people do not know what is

going on. They do know what is not going on. Business, for one. thing, |is not

going on. It has stagnated. Warehouses are choked with export com=modities for which there lare no markets. Instead of rearing prosperity, which the last European war brought to Japan, there is a disagreeable though not fatal food shortage, an elimination of the imports which made for creature comforts, a train of broken promises and blasted expectations.

Casualties Mount in China

There is no sign of peace in

China. Casualty lists continue to mount. Japanese morale has become so shattered that Premier

Prince Konoye has had to resort to spiritual mobilization — whatever that turns out to be. The world is to be éducated as to Japan's aims, and legitimate rights through a new set of ambassadors and ministers. |

Either the world is going to learn a lot about Japan from this new team of diplomats, or Japan is going to learn a lot about the world.| Probabilities favor the latter. | For Japan, in such a situation, to be able to announce the acquisition| of two new allies is obviously # political shot in the arm. Meantime, how about Russia?; Not so good! The large chunks of] silence from the Kremlin are more resounding and significant than the, international ballyhoo from Berlin, Rome and Tokyo. The Russian

Bear may be on the spot. He at least is wondering. The fact that Article Five of the]

Berlin treaty specifically disclaims] any effect on the political status] which exists “at present” between] the Axis powers and Russia, can offer little satisfaction to Stalin, who still hates. Hitler, his temporary, companion in plunder, and who is always suspicious of Japan. |

Only Enmity Is Certain One of the few certainties in the present complex world situation is the permanency of the fundamental enmity and conflict of interests be-| tween Japan and Russia. Any time the interests of these two nations|

75 DEPUTIES ADDED IN WITNESS DISPUTE

CONNERSVILLE, Ind., Sept. 30 (U. P.).—Sheriff Lester Hunt of Fayette County today had 75 new deputies. They were sworn in following last week’s disorders when two members of Jehovah's Witnesses were convicted on charges of riotous con= spiracy and a band of Witnesses, believed from Indianapolis, arrived to canvass the city. A group of townspeople threatened to run them out of town. The canvassing Witnesses asked for police protection. Police officials told the Witnesses that their de=parture would avoid any mob vioe lence. The group disappeared, warning that they would be back. Sheriff Hunt decided to add the deputies to his force to control any violence which might occur in tlie event of the Witnesses’ return.
