Whether that settlement could be achieved without war was a question which troubled millions the world over. ... . There seemed to be general agreement among European chan celleries that new perils lay ahead and 1939 might - prove decisive. One British official In predict ing another critical year said: i "If we can get through 1939 without war, I think the danger will be over for several years," Omens Are Mixed '. ' . Reichsf uehrer Adolf Hitler, whose 1938 triumphs were respon sible for Enrope'i major crises, gave one hopeful and one disturb-' ing pointer at the old year's end: . "We have only one wish that we may succeed also in the com ing year to contribute to general appeasement of the world." i Bat' less reassuring was Ger many's surprise notice to Great Britain that she would take ad vantage of an escape ' clause in the 1 1935 Anglo-German natal agreement to build a submarine fleet equal to Britain's as a com plement to her powerful army and air forces.

Many Trouble Zones The end ot 19IS saw also these disturbing factors In a troubled world: Wars still raged In China and 6paln, with signs lacking of an early truce in either. Germany's relations with both the United States and Britain were strained severely. Palestine was suffering from a bitter Arab-Jewish conflict. Several . hundred thousands of Jews In Germany feared 'further persecution by the nails while other nations sought to relieve their plight. Germany's economic and politi cal penetration In southeastern Europe spurred discontent which signified to some a nasi push to ward Rumania and the Polish and soviet Russian Ukralnes. Hitler dominated European af fairs in 1938 and . was expected to do so in 1939. . But some observers believed the "aggressive nations" would try to reduce the risks involved in their enansion.vBollcles. P.

' as 1938 Closes WASHINGTON. Dec. 31.-WV- A point blank , refusal to recog nise Japan's effort to establish special privileges tor herself tn war-devastated China brought to close today one of the most hectic years tn the history of United States foreign affairs. Standing firmly upon the 40- year-old principle of the "open door" in China, this government took the lead in opposing Jap anese plans to include China in a to-called "new order" program In east Asia, through single-handed treaty abrogation. In Its forthright rejection of the Japanese contention that Ideas and principles ot the past no longer were applicable to China, the state department served no tice that It "reserves aU rights of the United States as they, exist and does not give assent to any impairment of any of those rights" in China, Future Action This reservation ot rights is possibly a preliminary to future action, the nature ot which only time and the further development of United States foreign policy can telL This might even envis age eventual protection of Ameri can Interests in China by force, although there was no belligerent tone in today's note. . , Force was never used by '.this . , country.
