Vol. XII H O LLY BU RN P .O ., W EST VANCOUVER; B.C., TH U RSD A Y , N O V EM BER 25th, 1937 No. 34 THE INTERNATIONAL SITUATION r̂h(? stage is being set for the i\ext world conflict. All the nations are preparing for it as best they may, realizing at las^ tliat mankind stands on the verge of one of those periodic"̂ • irises, which can only be solved by blood. For the postponement so far of the catastrophe the na- lions can most probably thank, not the League of Nations m>;' the pacifists, who indeed between them ^ v e been mainly . responsible for bringing it about, but that most unpopular body of men, the international bankers, working silently be- liinci the scenes. The latter, being business men, have not done so out of any humanitarian 'motives, but for that strongest of ■il l reasons, self preservation. They visualized long ago, as so , iuw seem to appreciate," that in the wreck of civilization,'Whioh must be the inevitable result of>.any such conflict, would go their own commodity, money. This generation on its part has not tried to. abolish war out of any Christian love.for its neighbors, bdt merely because . they were afraid to face its horrors. Which is one of the rea- ' sons why all such efforts have beeh unsuccessful. J.l However, it is far too late to indulge in recriminations, also it is growing more apparent every day that Japan is try ing her utmost to make us fight, while she is yet strong. That i.s the only possible explanation of her repeated, acts of aggres- .sion, for which we have been especially singled out. She demands the domination of the Pacific, because she thinks the British races decadent and their navy on the down grade, else she, will smash our empire. Also she wants Ausr tralia. There has been a book published, by a Japanese naval - commandei=^entitled-"Japan-ihust-fight--Britain,'-!--iiL--wh'ich__ these statements are made with the reasons therefor. Such may seem ildiculous to us, but they are worthy of study as representing that Japanese thought, which has been trans- ' .Mated jnto_action in the^rei^nt rape of Chma. _ " llie repdrtedlJeman^ ̂ mrade'by'Hitler'"t6 Lbfd"Halifa x'are""" equally preposterous." He-in effect asks for a free hand in Cen tral Europe, so that he may control that continent as Japan . seeks to control Asia. And, having once obtained that control, he would break all his promises as before. Of that there is no question whatsoever'. In any case Britain could not have the war guilt clauses removed after publishing an official stater, ment proving them, up to the hilt, without inferentially admit- MUNICIPALITY BUY SKI AKEA Y.P.S.
