Evidently the Japanese chose the best possible time for declaring war against the British and Americans, a time when every possible effort was being made to strengthen the defences of Russia against Germany. It seems very likely that the world, with the exception of Japan, did not know the extent to which this aid was being extended and the extent to which the forces in the Pacific had been weakened,. When-most people feel that Britain should have been doing more to strengthen the defences of Russia, it is possible they were doing to much. At anv rnfp wp nmv hp emv tht if tha ntioh lose Hong Kong and Singapore it will be only a temporary setback. It is curious why the British are telling-Japan she is winning at both Singapore and Hong Kong. It may be for the purpose of softening the blow when it falls or it may be to keep Japan's attention rivetted on those points. Using Our Ammunition ... For years past protests have been made against the. selling of scrap iron and pig iron to Japan bv Canada and the United States. During that time Japan was building her navy, increasing her reserves of ammunition and artillery, all of which are being used today against our own men. Possibly the reasons which induced this traffic to continue were sufficiently important to insure its continuance. At any rate it went on in spite of the protests of many people, particularly of the workers. If it was a policy of appeasement it has proved 'just as disastrous as was the appeasement of Munich.

China Is Singing ... wm,We a that the Chinese people, whether they work or fight, sing while they do it. It is nothing new. In act it is a very old habit of theirs. Whenever the Chinese people get together in large numbers they sing, loday when they gather m large numbers to the north of Hong Kong to complete the task of driving the Japanese people out of their country they sing. Huge choruses of thousands of men are being specially trained today to help celebrate the driving out ofthe Japanese, possibly the last lap of the present great.
