Tokyo Eases Tension A i World Fears Bring Se Cabinet’s ‘Fall.

By H. 0. THOMPSON . United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Oct. 18.—The Japanese Government has communicated to the United States a desire to continue. ‘peace talks” despite Japan’s political upheaval, it was learned today. f The Japanese acted to ease tension in the Pacific after world reaction had coupled collapse of the Konoye Cabinet with possibility of ‘a new thrust :by Japanese armed forces. The overtures were received with some skepticism but makeup of the new Tokyo Government led chservers here to a more optimistic view. : ; Officials declined comment on the new Japanese Cabinet headed by Lieut. Gen. Eiki Tojo pending clarification of its policies. This country has not closed the door to continuation of the “peace talks” but it is realized that they would have no chance of success should the new Tokyo Government prove to be highly nationalistic.

Japan Assalled in Congress Japan's desire to keep the conversations open was conveyed to Secretary of State Cordell Hull last night by Kaname Wakasugi, minis-ter-counselor of the Japanese embassy here. : The new overtures came from interim officials in Tokyo pending assumption of power by the new Cabinet. They were advanced with the full knowledge of Tojo.

The rapid-fire developments in|:

Tokyo preceding formation of the new fbinet had brought Congres sional denunciation of Japan and an order for a few American vessels, presumably in Asiatic waters, to proceed to friendly ports at once “for instructions regarding their voyages.” It was conceded that the “peace talks” would collapse immediately should evidence develop of collaboration between Japan and Germany to jockey the United States into simultaneous crises in the Pacific and the Atlantic. . ' Differences Narrowed There was some thought, expressed by House Democratic Leader John W. McCormack (Mass.), that the torpedoing of the U. S, 8. Kearny yesterday might be a German effort to make Japan’s extremists think that events in the Atlantic might provide an opportune time for Japan to strike out ‘in the western Pacific. Differences between the United States and Japan on Far Eastern issues have been narrowed somewhat recently but there still remained what one diplomat has described as “mountainous” obstacles. The United States has informed Japan that this Government is ready to negotiate a Far Eastern 'settlement under the following formula: ; 1. Japan must exercise national ‘and international self-restraint and must refrain from the use of force in her international dealings. 2. The United States is ready to accept Japan's contention that changes requiring new .approaches to diplomatic problems: have occuired but it is not willing to negotiate on the basis of changes which Japan has wrought by force of arms. - Broad Principles ‘Accepted 3. The United States insists upon effective equality of commercial opportunity. 4. The United States upholds the sanctity of treaties but agrees that treaties may be modified or altered, such changes, however, must be accomplished through orderly processes and not by force. Japan has accepted the broad principles laid down by the American negotiators but has countered with the assertion that those principles can be attained in the Far East only by a full recognition and practical consideration of the actual circumstances of that region. Japan has accompanied that rejoinder with a proposal for economic collaboration in the Far East between the United States and Japan. The United States, after examining that proposal, found it unsatisfactory and rejected it in .a communication to the Japanese Government three weeks ago.

BRITAIN WAITS FOR SHOWDOWN

London Sources Say U. S. War Entry May Hinge on Next Few Days.

LONDON, Oct. 18 (U. P.).—Political and diplomatic quarters predicted today that the next few days would tell whether the new Japanese Government intends to challenge the United States and Britain. Informed sources cautiously added that the next few days might even bring the immediate entry of the United States into the war. Claim Unity in Pacific Informed sources said the United States and Great Britain ‘were working together closely in the Pacific. : These sources weighed the factors they. -sald ‘would decide the new Japanese Government for war or peace in the Pacific. Factors which would tend to deter Japan from action were, they said:

hands. 2. Her stocks of war supplies are limited, and the possibilities of getting more precarious. 3. The Japanese Navy might be forced to fight the American, British, Russian and Dutch fleets in e Pacific. 4. Japan is exceedingly vulnerable to air attack. 5. She is isolated from her Axis partners.

Factors Favoring War

These factors might decide Japan for war: 1. Russia's’ precarious situation in the west. bh 2. Japan's urgent need for effective action against the American-British-Chinese-Dutch economic front. 3. The necessity of the United States delivering munitions, food and other war supplies through the Pacific to Russia, virtually placing these much needed commodities under the very guns of the Japanese fleet. :

‘Now We've Got Something To Give Jerry a Fit,’ Say Fliers.

By JOHN A. PARRIS JR. United Press Staft Correspondent A ROYAL AIR FORCE AIRDROME, SOMEWHERE IN ENGLAND, Oct. 18—A squadron leader patted the streamlined, camouflaged side of an American-built Airacobra plane and said: “Now we've got something fo give Jerry a fit.” They call these planes — built by the Bell Aircraft Corp. of Buffalo, N. Y.—Caribous. ? A number of them have been put into operation, machine-gunning barges and ships along the French coast. Apparently the Airacobra is less outstanding at a great height, but up to a certain height, pilots cay, there is nothing that will beat one. “They're hell on wheels, the smoothest, hardest-hitting machine I have ever flown,” the squadron

Japan’s very first taste of international society was like gall. RusSakhalin

sia demanded, and got, half of her too weak to refuse. That was in 1875, shortly after Japan emerged from isolation and feudalism, : In 1894 she thought she had learned how to play the game. Wanting a slice or two of China for herself, she went to war over Korea and quickly defeated the then backward country. "But when she started to pick up the loot, Russia, Germany, ‘Britain and France stepped in and made her

Burning with rage; the Japanese now swore another oath of vengeance against the international hijackers and began to wait for another opportunity to strike back. This came in 1904. When Russia tried to push the Japanese out of Korea, Japan hit first and declared war afterward. She destroyed the Russian fleet, besieged and took Port Arthur, and defeated the Czar’s forers in Manchuria. Her victory was complete. Blocked by U. §.

But once again Japan was disappointed over her winnings. President Theodore Roosevelt's intervention had led to the Peace of Portsmouth (N. H.), but while this treaty left Japan installed at Port Arthur, returned the stolen half of Sakhalin and recognized her sphere of influence in Korea, she received little else for her blood and treasure. In 1914 Japan entered the World War on the side of the Allies. She attacked the feeble German garrison at Tsingtao and spread out over Shantung. Early in 1915 she tried to bring all China within her orbit by seeking to impose her notorious “21 demands.” After the war she sent troops to Siberia along with those of her Allies. That Japan hoped to fall heir to Germany’s Far Eastern possessions after the World War was evident.

Probably also Vladivostok, Russia’s outlet to the Pacific. She failed in almost all of these aspirations— thanks largely to the United States. At the Paris Peace Conference, President Wilson opposed Japan in China. After the war, he insisted upon the Japanese clearing out of Siberia. She was allowed to retain, under a mandate from the League of Nations, only a part of Ger-

many’s Pacific islands. She received only the little ones. The lion’s share went to—the lion, the British lion. More and more embittered, Japan in 1931 invaded Manchuria and set out upon her present conquest of China. The United States has opposed her, every inch of the way. United States policy has been, and remains, for a free and independent China with an open door for all on a basis, that will be fair to the Chinese themselves. * : Today the Japanese believe their chance has come at last to make a killing. She now seems about to strike—against Russia, the United States, Britain and the other powers against which she harbors so many ancient grudges. Is Nippon doomed to yet another disappointment? Will Hitler revive the bugaboo of the “yellow peril” as soon as the Japanese have pulled his chestnuts out of the fire? Is Hitler's pact with Japan any more sacred than his pact with Rus= sia? Or his pacts with other countries he destroyed one by one? Or, for that mater, is it any more sacred than Japan's own brand-new neutrality pact with Soviet Russia, now apparently about to be added to the other scraps of paper in the international wastebasket? Only the future can tell.
