Political questions, dominated as they are by economic problems, stiil give the world much to think about and a certain uneasiness. The unsolved Manchurian troubles of China and Japan threaten peace in a wider area than Asia if some road of conciliation 1s not found. Araki Pcwer in Orient Japan and China have their | astute diplomats at Geneva and ;world capitals, but War Minister | Araki of Japan, responsible only |to his Emperor and to Japanese public opinion, will largely deter- mine what will happen in Man- | churia. ‘5 Russia, alive to the consequences |of a spark in the powder train, | has concluded non-aggression pacts | with - Western powers, restored diplomatic relations with China, and has let it be known that rec- ognition of its Government by the United States would go far towards keeping the Pacific pacified. Again, as in January, 1932, the situation in Germany is causing anxiety in Europe. Will Hitler and his Fascists crown their long strug- gle for power? Will some sudden event lead to a restoration of the monarchy? Both are questions of the moment, and Kurt von Schlei- cher, German Chancellor, is apt to have a large say in their determ- ination. {inches on February 24th, There were 47 clear days, 38 partly cloudy and 281 cloudy days. ‘There were 1144 hours of sunshine, or 25 per cent of. the possible a- *molmt.
