Such, perhaps, is the history of all nations that go to war, breaking treaties and casting aside long governmental tenets. If Japan's unusual attitude seems more hysterical than that of the average nation at war, it's either because the Japs are naive or extremely clever. Probably they're clever, so clever that Western powers are just beginning to under- stand this Chinese invasion. Japan, some observers say, is but on West- warring not on China, ern domination in the Orient! The "divine destiny" she pursues is a union of all Asiatic nations under Japanese domination. The net result will be expulsion of British, French, American and Portuguese commercial interests. Apologies Come Fast. Diplomatic files of both America and Great Britain are choked with "apologies" for hostile acts such as the Panay incident, bombing of H. M. S. Ladybird and the aerial attack on Britain's ambassador to China. But despite these opalogies the incidents continue. And, amazingly, many recent Oriental attacks on Western powers have come from the Chinese! A Chinese pilot bombed the S. S. President Hoover. Later a Chinese shell killed a sailor on the U. S. S. Augusta. In fairness to the Chinese it should be admitted that both these attacks may have been accidental. But Nationals in Shanghai during the last days of its anti-aircra- had bi ought.

For Nin-pun has discovered that our lofty idealism and molality are hypocriti- cal and has decided to beat us at our own game, instead ol prestige, Japan is using power to conquer China. Great Britain will be the greatest loser in this inevitable trade argument with Japan. In addition to being the largest foreign investor in China, she is Nippon's favorite target by virtue of her belief in the open door policy for China.

And do Britain and America in turn dare risk incurring Japan's enmity by protesting too loudly against the invasion of China? The truth of the v matter that Britain ar.d America buy 53 per cent of Japan's exports, whereas the same two countries account for C5 per cent of Japan's imports. In terms of trade, the three nations arc mutually dependent. Last year 23 per cent of America's cot tin crop landed on Jara-t'shores, in addition to $30,000,000 worth of oil. $3,000,000 in lumber, 1 L 1? is Lii ti$r MOW 6ET CUT Or MESS AND Ate aavs a Lime ou;cr let I LXM T IVANT MY BriEAKFAT, MY COFFEE WWV AMY WAY! :NSS.-WI- "? fS,JT BUT, DEAFL'-- lino I, (T READY? 111 I U.u ycu v i fNG'-COFFEE -- NEAV'ES 15 CAUSING ' YOUii.

The Panay attack and several others have been established as deliberate. We can take little solace from the fact that Japanese civilians are opposed to such tactics, because only the army and navy count in Nippon. The emperor, the premier and the people are puppets.
