' War, Dictatorship Mark World Events —§ —s ' ‘ | 4 Es Germany, Italy and Japan Are Seen as Leaders in Develop- ments of 1935 e By DEWITT MacKENZIE New York, Dec, 24—(4)—The most important developments of the past year abroad revolved mainly about three countries—Germany, Italy and Japan, Mussolini was the outstanding per- sonality. It is of more than passing interest to note that Germany and Italy are ruled by dictators and that the em- Peror of Japan is virtually an absolute monarch. In all three countries in- tense nationalism is the slogan of the day; all have been busy greatly strengthening their armies and nav- Jes; all have declared for territorial expansion, and Japan and Italy have actually undertaken it, the former in China and the latter in Ethiopia; Ja- pan and Germany have resigned from the League of Nations, and Italy was outlawed by the League on a charge of armed aggression against Ethiopia. Lists 10 Leading Events The 10 principal events abroad would seem to be the following: 1, The Italo-Ethiopian war. The great Mussolini has outgrown the narrow confines of Italy and is reaching out for new worlds to con- quer. We have here the possibilities of a European and perhaps a world war. 2. Hitler's scrapping of the Versail- Jes treaty, with the announcement of ®@ quadrupling of the German army, and naval increases. 3. The outlawing of Italy and the application of punitive sanctions by the League of Nations as the result of the Italo-Ethiopian war. 4. Japan's support, military and otherwise, of an autonomous North China, 5. Germany's continued drive to eliminate Jews from the life of the nation, Philippines Get Independence 6. The establishment of the Philip- pine commonwealth preparatory to absolute independence. These islands, rich in natural wealth and of vast importance strategically, may easily become a bone of fierce contention among it naval powers, Japan, of course, looms on the horizon, in the view of many observers. 7. Mussolini’s inauguration on Feb- Tuary 1 of compulsory military traine ing and service for all Italian males between the ages of 8 and 33, 8. The restoration of King George of Greece to his throne, This tends to strengthen other monarchies, some of which have been exceedingly shaky, and may have a marked effect in in- fluencing further restorations, as in Austria, for example. 9. The London naval confeernce. This meeting of the great powers to try to limit the sizes of navies was generally expected to fail, owing to Japan’s demand for parity with America and Britain, New Airmail Service 10. The institution of the trans- Pacific airmail service between San Francisco and Manila, with interven- ing stops at the American possessions of Hawaii, and Midway, Wake and Guam islands. Along with the above events should be mentioned the death of Marshal Pilsudski, Polish dictator and creator of the powerful new Polish army; the death of General Juan Vincent Gomez, for 25 years iron-handed dic- tator of Venezuela; the return of the rich Saar basin to Germany in the January plebiscite; the end of the 50- year-old war between Bolivia and | Paraguay in the Chaco; and the Egyptian political upheaval, attended by bloody riots, against British dom- ination, forcing England to grant a {return to constitutional government.
