OPPOSITION COOLS OFF JAPANESE When Cordell Hull wants to turn on his Tennessee mountain wrath he can do a magnificent job, and the word which leaked out of his inner sanctum is that this was the kind of a job he did when Japanese Am bassador Horinouchi called on him just after the United States had de cided to recall its citizens from China. The Hull dressing down, together with internal reactions in Japan, ; seems to have cooled off the Jap ' anese somewhat. Intelligence re , ports reaching Washington indicate that danger of a Japanese declara j tion of war against Britain, over the ' opening of the Burma road, is ebb I ing. What the Japanese are expect ed to do is to subject the Burma i road, with its incoming supplies of munitions for the Chinese army, to | as intensive a bombing as is pos I sible from air bases in south China I and adjacent French Indo-China. As far as any attack upon the United States is concerned, all the reports received in army and navy circles—and they have been study ing the situation as carefully as they know how—are that Japan cannot and will not risk war with the United States. | In the first place, her navy has fuel oil for only 2'A months. Her army has gasoline for only three ■ months. And perhaps even more important, there is reported to be considerable division of opinion in side the Japanese government. \ One group, headed by Prince Konoye, feels that Japan is merely being used by Hitler and the Axis j to scare the United States away from more aid to the British. In fact. Konoye vigorously opposed signing the alliance, but finally had I to yield to more aggressive Foreign i Minister Matsuoka and the war min ister. In addition, American observ j ers detect an uneasy feeling among j the Japanese people and increasing rumblings of unrest. • • • GERMAN OCCUPATION Intelligence reports from Europe indicate that it is not the German army but German civilians in France who are causing trouble. These reports state that the Nazis already have begun to create their vaunted unification of Europe and their reduction of France to a mere agricultural state. Following the conquering Nazi armies, there came German civil ians !n numbers almost as great. They settled down in evacuated French homes and began to operate abandoned French shops and fac tories—and to take over others which had not been abandoned. All this in the vital industrial area of north France. Reports about the conduct of Ger mans In France make a sharp dis tinction between the German mili tary and civilian elements Little complaint wus heard of the conduct of the German military, but when the Gestapo and the Brown Shirts followed, together with civilian groups for the management of in dustry. real friction developed British victory over Germany would require not only success in staving off invasion but also driving the Germans out of the Low Coun tries and France—and this means not only the German soldiers, but the hordes of civilians who have taken over management of French industry as if it were their own. • • • ABSENTEE .SENATE Man About Town New Yorkers Are Talking About: Jolson's plan to get custody ot the child from Ruby Keeler . . .
