I Treuble Spots Persist | With Japan’s position in Man-| churia consolidated, if not regu'ar- ized, and with an apparent lessen- ing of tension between Japan and Russia, there appears hope for bet- | ter days in the Pacific. Some Tokyo | 1 btalloons have indicated the possibility of direct conversations between Japan and the United States to iron out causes of irrita- tion. One possible trouble spot on the horizon is Austria, whose little chancellor, Engelbert Dollfuss, has chosen the dictator's path between the blandishments of naziism and faseism and the demands of the socialists. His final choice has not vet been made, but he has made it clear that Austria’s independence —and by that he meant no domi- nation from Berlin—must be as- sured. Should he fail, and Germany and Austria combine in the much dis- cussed “anschluss” chanec elleries must work fast to avoid a Euro- | pean explosion.
