Any careful scan- ning of the international horizon, as 1939 begins, discloses some alarming _ portents. Germany, Italy and Japan are on the march, with a complete agree- with South America. Coming on the heels of the Lima conference, in which the American delegates tried, with moderate success, to cement cracked Pan-American relations, the meaning of this is apparent. We have been stead- ily losing ground in South Amer- ica. Germany, with her blocked- mark barter system, has been steadily gaining, as has Italy to a lesser degree. With foreign trade in its present state of dol-! drums, private capital is not in) any position to fight a trade war in which the “enemy” has behind! it the resources of a powerful government. Therefore, it is ar- gued, this government must help American business in a way very similar to the way the Fascist; and Nazi governments help their businesses. Credit To China Second, there was announced an extremely complicated plan | which will give the hard-pressed | Chinese national government a! sizable U. S. Treasury credit. As| Washington correspondents Alsop and Kintner write, “The highly | involved from of the Chinese credit all but obscures the vital fact that it will bring desperately | needed supplies to the tattered} armies of Chiang Kai-Shek. But, | however complex the method, ' supplying the Chinese patriots is” an assault on the invading Jap: anese” There is a moral issue in all | of money and supplies, ) seems inevitable that an-ultimate ed. Since then, much has hap- pened—nctably the creation of the Rome-Berlin-Tokyo axis, which makes Japan an ally of Germany and Italy, both in com- merce and in potential war. And Japan has gradually changed her tune in talking to us, the French and the British. In Japanese- seized China ports and commer- cial centers, U. S., French and English businessmen are being) politely but ruthlessly squeezed out. And a few months ago came ,an official Nipponese announce-, ment which, though it was fram- ed in the careful diplomatic lan- guage in which the Japanese statesmen excel, made it perfect- ly clear that the “open door” | policy was to be much modified | | —even to the extent that the Chi- | nese trade of other powers would |! be stopped, or subjected to ruin- ous economic burdens, if the gov- ernment of the Son, of Heaven! so desires. 2 China Must Be Aided Thus a Japanese victory in China would mean, in all prob- ability, the loss of hundreds of millions of doHars in trade to American industry—and, at the same time. would immensely int crease the economic resources of an empire which our military leaders view as a potential ene- my in a Pacific war.

There is, so far as we can see, no reason to doubt that they will plunge the world into its most mammoth war rather than give up the strategical position that now encourages them to blackmail other powers into mak- ing concessions in the hope of Great Britain, France and Rus- mitted that the “new situation” created by her advancing armies has altered the “open door status. Recent loans and credits to the Chinese by this country have aroused feeling in Japan, where responsible officials call them “dangerous” gestures. Just where this situation will lead is uncer- tain but it is worth noting that the interests of the United States coincide with the interests of Great Britain and France.
