The United.

It is true she might seize the - JPhillippinea and Hawaii, from 'which fihe ould be ousted-only .with ex- treme difficulty,, but she would be pusted in time. She might even at- " tapk "Alaska' and the Pacific Coast nd score some initial successes, but - " in the end the war would.be won by the United States. , ' Probably the biggest factor against " war, in addition to the facts as stated is the knowledge onthe part of the s'iArt yellow men who guide the des tries of Nippon that the United ptates, once in a war, knows nothing - but fighting to the last man and the ' last dollar until victory is adhieved. Tokyo is well 'infdrmed on the in- vincible American spirit and the facts pf United States history, which show that this country neer lost a war, and "Judging from our resources in ' pian ppwer and wealth, .the most powerful In the world, probably 'pever will. . " There is aiiother important factor in the Far- East situation which WOUIU givu tfupaii UUBO HCL B1W mad enough and ill-advised enough to, bring on war over the California matter. This is the Siberian situa tion, jrhjch is now causing the Japan- i . i . ese governmeni mucn mor uneasi ness than all the clamor in Tokyo for var with the United States. The ' shrewd men at the "helm in Japan ' know that there will be' no war with '- the United State3, brought on by the , United States, because this .Republic is too peaceful to deliberately incite a conflict . If war begins it will be j - started by the Japanese and ny tho' - United States. , We-'- ware ever a peaceful nation. But the Siberian status is what is really causing alarm In .Japan not the California situa titrt, though little is heard of Si-berian-JapaneseTnatters in this coun-try.-. . - The Japanese have seized and are h!

Wrangel She has plain shown that she does not intend, under any cir cumstances, to allow one inch of Eus3iaa. territory to be alienated. The Japanese have taken possession of pa,rt of her territory in Siberia. When the Soviet government "can get around to it that government un doubtedly will serve curt notice on Japan to get out of Siberia. Nippon will probably refuse for no onejyet ever heard of Japan surrendering any seized territory or any spoils of war. The Soviet government at Moscow, free of other eneniies and probably recognized by all nations, will turn its full attention, unhampered by European wars, to Siberia, and ex pel the Japanese by force of arms from that territory. It will be a long war and a big on?. But the probability is that the Japanese will loHp, as -they would have lost their last war with Imperial Russia had not the last President Roosevelt brought .about the Peace of Ports mouth. The Japanese will lose the Siberian war because they will have to fight it far from their home base, while the Soviets will be carry it on on their own soil. - Japan will .suffer a sa'back in that conflict that will lest a decade or even two decades. Japanese leaders see this war com ing and undoubtedly must bo appre hensiv of the result. For this rea son, toff, they are - not anxious for war with'. the United Slates.

DESIRES LEAGUE ACTION v General Parish Nov. , 23. With Wrangel, French protege, defeated In the Crimea,, France will turn to -the League of Nations as a last resort to destroy 'the.

This is practically the unanimous opinion of experts who have watched the situation, fraught with so much peril, unfold itself by degress.--"" Two' things France knows certainr ly: ' -:'- - v ' - 1- A military action by a General like Baron Wrangel, has no chance of success,.;. ('-., 2 England will not assist ' in a vigorous" anti-Soviet policy. While t is realised that the forth coming resumption of trade rehv tions between England and Russia will not hurt Anglo-French relations because the Entente long ceased to exist. France fears that England may yet see 'a joker in the eague of Nations army and refuse further tc support the idea. , , . ' Guarding against such action, Pre mier Leygttes is going to London commissioned ' to discuss , the entire new orientation of European politics vis-a-yi - Russia, This includes the Near East crisis in Turkey where the Allied grip is fat loosening, and the return to- the Greek throne of King Constanstihe, which Francp may yet be forced to permit in order to satis fy Rumania the leader of "The Lit tle Entente," France's' own creation. Meanwhile ' France is hoping against hope that the League of Na tions' Vilna venture will succeed fn embroiling?-not only the Allies but the neutral nations a swell into a ,Sre war against Russia Failing in 'the success of this last trump card", it is believed that France will not further be able to resist the dictates of economic and political common sense,' and "will follow Eng land'! example and recognize the Soviets.
