ANOTHER WORLD WAR APPROACHING
♦ LORD ROTHERMERE'S CONVICTION - AIiTICLE IN JAPANESE NEWSPAPERS t LONDON, January 11. Lord Rothermere, in an article which appears in Osaka "Mainkhi" and tne Tokyo "Nichi Nichi," points out that the figures controlling, the most strongly armed states of the world clear aims and instant methods of attaining'them. This convinces him that the'world is closely approaching another great war. Should this cataclysm come the closest possible understanding between England and Japan would be vitally important. Competition in overseas markets h'ad recently led to temporary friction between them, but the time might be near when their major mutual interest would be to share and protect these markets. Japan's leaguing herself with Germany to oppose communism benefited civilisation as a whole, and it was regrettable that England and Japan should have tended in late years to drift apart. Whatever progress towards reunion was possible should be achieved without delay, for the island empires of the East and West would pass through the coming tempest more safely if steered side by side.
