WASHINGTON, Oct. 6 The Jap
anese have been marching and counter-marching
up and down the
Yangtze River
valley where
Britain's major
Interests in
China, are locat
ed. The British
are vorried. They
did not much
care when the
Japanese took
Manchuria In
3931. Their trade
stood to gain by
abolition of Chi
nese rule and
misrule there. At
that time, they could not get Inter
ested In former . rtate secretary stlm
eon's threats aga'nat Japanese ag
gression. Now that the problem has moved
right up agianst the British pocket
book, the situation Is different.
American newsmen in London lately
have been obtaining unofficial In
terviews at the foreign office sug
gesting that Britain would like to
use "strong pressure" on the Jap
anese In Shanghai and on up the
Yangtze.
The significance of these London
dispatches was not lost here. State
Secretary Hull has found similar un
official ways of letting It be known
quietly that this time, he Is not
Interested.
It means that any prospect for
Anglo -American -Chinese -Russian co
operation .against Japan, la 4ost,-J2v
eryone will have to look out for his
own pocketbook In the far east. Time
marches back.
Note President Roosevelt's . now
fully developed far eastern policy la
based on that of T. R. without much
change. Advocating an Independent
foreign policy In Asia, Mr. Roosevelt,
the first, once aald: "I believe that
our. future history will be more de
termined by our position on the
Pacific, facing china, than by our
position on the Atlantic, facing
Europe,"

the monetary negotiations comes out
eventually, you will find Jther evl

picion of another Anglo-American un
derstanding Is not Justified Mr.
Morgenthau's fancy rescue of the
pound from degradation and despair
was appreciated In London, but not
in the way you surmised. The Brit
ish would really nave liked to have
let the pound slide to get a world
trade advantage. Some say they want
ed to stabilize as low aa (4.40 or

agreeable figure.
