TIENTSIN Japan's blockade of Tientsin is the gravest and moat direct blow yet aimed at foreign especially British interests in China, and is very close- ly linked up with the struggle be- tween the .dictators and Britain and France in Europe. Now, as on several previous occasions, Japan is exploiting the state of European high tension in order t0 strengthen its position in China. Japanese military leaders feel cer- tain of their impunity, since they reckon that neither England nor France can spare ships or men for the Par East, and that America won't act alone. Moreover, now, as through- out last year, Japan and the Axis Powers are clearly working together. It obviously serves the interests of Herr Hitler and Signor Mussolini if British and French attention can be at least partially diverted from the Vistula and the Mediterranean to thea Peiho and the Yangtze, When Mussolini invaded Albania a prominent foreign diplomat in Rome is reported to have remarked private- ly: "So Herr Hitler is leading from dummy this time." It is conceivable ,bhat'fongein diplomats in Tokyo today 'may ibe whispering the same 'thing. To ire sure, 'Japan is nzulc'h further out side Reichsfuhrer Hitler's orbit than is Ifa,ly. 'Dhere ,ante no large 'numbers of IGenman 'military and ,technical ex- perts in 'Japan, and the latter country ipossesses full;freedom of action. I-low- evrar; there 'can he no doubt that the Japanese action in Tientsin is heartily approved' by Bertha and probably fol- lowed 'preliminary 'consul'tations there. It is not accidental ,that the Japanese 'blockaded Tientsin on the day when the 'British special envoy, William Strang, arrived in Moscow, For 'several 'months an intense struggle has been going on 'behind the scenes in Tokyo between advocates and opponents of a full -pledged mili- tary allianoe into Which Germany and Italy wish to draw Japan under the vise of 'strengthen 'blue anti -Comin- tern Pact. 'Until recently, moderates who opposed any commitments which would bind Japan to participate in any European war except against the Soviet Union maintained the upper hand. Japan's • .two extremist diplomats, Tossio Shiratori, Ambassador to Italy, and Gen. 'Hirose 'Oshima, Ambassad- or to 'Germany, apparently were even considered to be resigning because of ,the Japanese Government's unwilling- ness to meet German -Italian desires in the matter tai an alliance. Recently, however, the situation 'has somewhat changed 'because of the British effort THE SEAFORTH NEWS.. Seaforth, Ont. to cement an alliance with the Soviet Union, This correspondent !learns front well-informed Japanese sources here that Japan !has ,'been drawing 'closer to 'Germany and Italy in pro- portion as England has been 'showing more inclination for a rapprochement •with Russia, The 1Japanese are dis- trusbfalof any 'proposed Anglo- Frendh-Sovit't 'Past even though its operation is supposed to be •restricted to Europe. Lt is significant that Shiratori, one of the stormy petrels of Japanese dip- lomacy, recently went 'to Berlin, ap- parently 'lo' the 'purpose of working tit some 'formula which would permit extension of .the 'present Anti -Comin- tern Pact. While it is most unlikely that Japan will sign any treaty as 'binding as the 'German -Italian "pact of steel," the position of extremists in Tokyo Se'em's ,to +Nave been .strength- ened by the Anglo -Soviet rapproche- ment. A Whole series of anti-B'ritish incid- ents, to which the Tientsin 'blockade was the climax, tusy have had as one ,objeCtive bhe understanding of the Soviet negotiations. The (Japanese re- tell that during the World War their country's sea power was of consider- able benefit to ,the Allied cause by Inc. ilitating the ttansp'ontation of 'nren and supplies from India and Austrialia to the European •front. They Brake no secret of the fact that there will be no such use of 'Japanese sea power in the event of another 'World War. In such an eventuality, Japan at 'best would maintain an attitude of .unfriendly neu- trality 'toward England and .France, trying 'to squeeze their interests in China, and might sooner or later in- tervene directly on 'tin- side of Ger- many and Italy. Along with these European consid- erations, 'Japan's action in Tientsin undoubtedly has heel, dictated 'hy causes relating only to Asia. japan amass has been inclined to attribute a large share of its difficulty in China to foreign, especially British, support of the Chinese X'ttiutta!i t Govern- ment Faced with the prospect of a 'ong. exhaus.tin straggle in China. Japanese military leaders now pro- pose, by directing an attack. to focus •tanner attention on England as the ,supposed 'cense of the deprivations end hardships connected with the war. At the saute time, by subjecting the British .to public huntilation, they hope to make them "lose face" in the eyes of 'the Chinese and convince the latter that 'Japan is the only power which possesses real authority its the Orient. Moreover, 'Japanese military auth- orities do not give first consideration naturally, to foreign .concessions and settlements. where 'Japanese economic and .currency regulations are ignored Because Tientsin is in the weakest and most exposed position, since 'here is no American participation it s administration. and it is locked in a region where the Japanese ,have been in !full military contral for almost two years, it has been selected for the first test of strength. If the Japanese are successhrl where, it is highly prob- able .that they .will •attenept further en- croachment en !foreign rights in Shan- ghai ian'd ,elsewhere. In the present critical state of Eu- rope, even a slight disturbance may start an avalanche.

SINO-JAPANESE WAR IN BRIEF The main events in the Sino- Japanese war which has marked its second anniversary are as ,follows: The war began, July 7, 119137, with skirmishes on the now well•+known Marco Polo ,bridge near Peiping, followed by .the fall of Peiping Ang 2, 109317. Shanghai was captured by Japan- ese Nov. 12, 0937, the Chinese troops retreated, contending that the move was a strategic one, and that the soecal'led "Hindenbung fine" would hold the Japanese invaders. Soochow, 'pivotal city of the Lung, HAL East-West railway, fell Nov 0, while Nanking, the Capital, was hastily evacuated in anticipation of Japanese seizure. Nanking fell on Dec. 13, 1937. A period of ibig advances now gave way i ing and one of natterednatteredflghtt � rather small victories. New Chinese resistance developed on a 115• -mile front .'centering at Taierchwang east of Soochow, but the Japanese finally broke through April 4, 135. Japanese drive to cut Luna; -Hai Railway was checked 'June, 1935, by the rise of the .Yellow River through broken dikes in Northern Horan, and a new offensive was started inland front South China coast as;ainst Canton.

Bata Company Selects Site Announcement has been made by officials that the Bata Shoe Company, of Czecho-Slovaltia, had definitely de- cided upon Frankford, In Sidney Township. near Trenton and Belle• ville, as the site of the company's new Canadian manufacturing centre and •model community. Machinery of the company, under bond in a Mont- real warehouse for some time. has been cleared from customs and is be - lug shipped by rail to Frankford where it will be installed in the old paper mill. It is understood that the government will allow approximately 250 key -men from the parent company in Prague to come into Canada to set the machinery in motion. All the labor needed will be recruited from the Belleville and Trenton districts. "Floating" labor has been advised to give the new plant a wide berth. Thomas Bata, vice president of the. company it1 Canada, is in Frankford, and a skeleton staff is clearing the old paper mill for the reception of the machiitery at an early date. The land now under option will likely be taken up.
