TOKYO (Correspondence of The Associated Press) Political ohserrera are re-examinilir today Japan's actions In the last Euro- - Man war In an effort to cnart her probable course during this ."one. ,-." " " ' : The end, they assert, is the same - to establish herself as the dominant Dower in the west ern Pacific, from Siberia to Aus tralia. Tne means or pursuit are only sugnuy amereni. In the World war. Japan: i' 1. Joined the allies, and made a clean sweep ot German posses sions in China " and- the south seas. J. Presented to China the fam ous '"twenty one demands, de signed to consolidate her position in Manchuria and Mongolia, to provide special influence in Shantung, - to - obtain important economic rights in the Yangtze -valley, to control Chinese i har bors and coastal areas, ana . in general, to give be? complete eco nomic and political supremacy in China, - v v , J. Concluded a semi-secret pact with Great Britain wherein the two countries- agreed to divide between them the Pacific islands formerly belonginr to Germany, with the equator as the line of demarcation. 4. signed treaties with each of the allies which virtually obtain ed recognition of the territorial claims Japan ultimately made at Versailles. Condition Similar That was Japan" .between 1915 and 1918. External conditions closely paralleled those existing today. Then, as now, her Euro pean competitors in China were too deeply engrossed in war to offer much resistance. Observers regard Japan's ac tions today as merely an exten sion of the cycle launched in 1915. So do many Japanese. They speak of "the golden op portunity." . In a recent address the min ister of war asserted that "Ja pan's policy of non-intervention does not mean standing with folded arms." Her official spokesmen speak of an "Asiatic Monroe doctrine." Some influential Japanese are preaching self-determination for all oriental peoples naturally Including the Japanese, Burmese, Ceylonese, Indo-Chinese, and oth ers who now populate European held colonies. In short, an Asiatic constellation with Japan as the sun and a number of small satellites swinging around her. Thus, Japan has seized the present "golden opportunity" to apply to the southern orient the same policies that were employed in China during the last Euro pean war. Already Some Gains She has: 1. Made what is considered an iron-clad agreement with the Dutch East Indies government guaranteeing continued access to the Islands' oil, tin and rubber. 2.

Concluded a treaty of friend ship with Slam. 4. Demanded that Great Brit aln close the Burma road to China, which was done. 6. Completed military opera tions, the effect of which is to surround Hongkong, the British crown colony, . Plans for a new Japanese state, based on far-reaching totalitarian ism at home and committed to a foreign policy involving Japanese domination over French Indo- China and the Dutch East Indies, were announced this . week by the government of Premier Prince FumlmaroJonoye. Control Absolute The totalitarian principle of the new regime Includes the doc trine of service to the state by all persons, regardless of status, and " a unitary control system covering production, distribution and consumption of Important commodities." Under this regime, the an nouncement said, inequalities will be rectified and Japanese enabled to live a "plain, solid and vigor ous life." The government's statement did not take Japan any closer to the Rome-Berlin axis out stress ed a more independent attitude toward other western powers. The government is throngh with toadyism, it said. Closer relations with the axis powers depends, Japanese say, on the attitude '- of Germany and Italy to the far. eastern colonies of France, Britain and Holland. If the axis shows signs of taking these territories for itself, then Japan, automatically, will be in opposition to them. West Linn Locks Break Log Record OREGON CITY, Aug.

Every cltisen, every home, every religious or secular unit must work together on mat ters of common concern to them as citizens if .we are to be truly united. One who endeavors to defame any group of our citizenry, who attempts to cast suspicion upon the honor or honesty or patriotic devotion of the members of such group or Implies that any group is superior or inferior to any oth er group, whether such group ings are based upon race, creed or origin, is not only traitorous to our American institutions, but is interfering with the effective mo bilization of our people into a united front prepared to defend our American Institutions from attack not only from without, but also from within our borders.

Turns up the yielding sod Where once a virgin forest stood Fresh from the hand of God. The rushing rivers in their might. Surged ever toward the sea. The towering mountains awful height. Were wonderful to see. From Wilderness to Wonderland A peerless state has grown. Teeming in wealth on every hand. Hunger and want unknown. Proudly we hall thee, Oregon, Our City too with pride, We hail another century's dawn As bridegroom hails his bride. To all who Join with us today We give a welcoming hand, We bid you join us in our play, And view the pageant grand. May God in his beniflcence As ever in the past. Be with as in the. century hence Yea! e'en unto the last. So, let us pause awhile today In grateful thanks to Htm. Without whose guidance 'long the way. Our pathway would be dim. Thus may we ever forward move Untouched by doubts or fears. By trusting the God above, Throughout the coming years. J. C. FIELD, IK Portland Road.
