Sweden can easily move goods across Norway and continue a normal trade with America | American policy is very different from that of | the small European neutrals for the simple reason that our foreign trade is a small fraction of the total, whereas Belgium and the Scandinavian states do an immense foreign business.

It is really appalling how a nation of 10,000,000 Czechs will set out deliberately to enc a nation of 80,000,000 Germans, as in Central rope last year, and a nation of 4,000,000 people will try to enmesh a nation of 170,000,000 people, as with Fin- land and Soviet Russia today Last year Czechoslovakia was a dagger aimed at the heart of Germany and had to be destroyed. Now we see Russia bri y her terrific warpower to bear on Finland because the little nation, according to Moscow, was plotting to extend its sway to the Ural ‘Mountains.

The sudden midnight conference be- tween the rulers of Belgium and The Netherlands in- dicated how keenly this danger was realized in the low countries. It is no secret that Paris and London were fully as alarmed as were The Hague and Brussels. But the blow did not fall. Even after the bomb in the Munich beer hall might have been used as a prod to Nazi zeal for real war, there was no decisive action, The Dutch and Belgians are showing themselves as plucky as the Finns, The diplomacy of threat which worked so well against Austria and Czechoslovakia is now backfiring. The ability of the Dutch to flood ter- ritory in front of invaders and their resolation to go through with such heroic defense measures are, of course, factors in the situation. But the importance of flooded lowlands is easily overestimated. It is no bar- rier against air attack. Yet Hitler is not yet willing to move by air upon the low countries. All these false alarms have been watched with particular interest in Italy. A Rome dispatch reports that the indecision of the Germans on the Dutch border is interpreted by Italy’s diplomats as a sign of a desperate German military situation. Some Italian observers are predicting that Hitler cannot last a year Now the German threats are turned seaward once n >, Submarine warfare is to be even more unrestricted. This may be seen an answer to Churchill’s defiant speech of a few days ago. But does Berlin really mean it? Or will action once more limp far behind a verbal belligerency?

Wu com- manded the western flank of the| republic’s forces, a position which gave full play to his talents as a strategist. He came out of the campaign a full-fledged general. Then Canton, under the late Dr. Sun Yat-Sen, father of the repub- Je, began to menace the vaulting ambitions of Yuan Shih-Kai. Wu was picked to crush the movement and was given command of all the orces sent south in the campaign. 3ut he tyrned pacifist and stopped the Cantonese by negotiating a truce. Civil Warfare Lulls This resulted in the 1919 peace conference and brought a lull in the civil warfare. In the interval Wu was named. Commissioner for Chihli, Shantung and Honan prov- inces in 1920 and a year later Hun- an and Hupeh were added to his control. He was named a Marshal in 1923. When Yuan Shili-Kai died and «he presidency fell to the lot of Tsao Kun, the Canton national- 1sts resumed their move for power. But Wu retained control of his five provinces and also command of the third division of the Peking army, one of the mcst efficient ‘orces in China.
