Christmas Season The Weather Forecast: Fair today and to morrow. Continued cold. Temperature: Highest yesterday .. 56 Lowest yesterday to Thirty-First Year By PAUL MAlXON (Copyright, 1930, by Paul MaUon) WASHINGTON. Nov. 28. Tb.e antl eoromunlst alliance btween Japan, and Germany was announced aa a defensive move. T b a Nipponese and the Hitler ite aay they are Just going to keep thlr eyes on the reds and ex change Informa tion about how to 9 top them. They would not harm a hair of the Russian bead, not for the world. Th Is official In formation d 1 d even fool the govern men t-controled press of Japan ar.d Germany, and was not Intended to. It was merely another of those diplomatic double ntendres for the record. The trsns erlp of the League of Nations Is full of them. The defensive measure contem plated are along the general lines of Al Capone's defensive measures against rival gangsters In Chicago. The Japanese emperor and Herr Htttler may move with slightly more grace than Mr. Capone. but their Joint objective 1 the overthrow of the Stalin regime in Russia. As the Russian commlnturn Is supposed to be plotting the overthrow of the em peror and the fuehrer. It Is to be tit for tat or rat for rat. This, at any rate. Is the firm con viction of all who know anything about the subjoet here. This does not mean that the new allies are going out to capture Moscow. They probably will not even declare war, unless forced. But. betwen now and spring, you will hear a lot about the prospect of some joint German-Japanese mili tary maneuver to be undertaken as aoon as the trees begin to bud. You will read that the Japanese are per fecting plana to seize the Russian martlme provinces in one swoop, and that almulaneously the Germans will rush Into Ukraine. The allies will then entrench their Ill-gotten gains and see If Stalin can stand up in Moscow under auch pressure. That 1 the mil tar y theory and there Is nothing wrong with It aa theory. However, there are sound reasons far doubting that the situa tion will move so far so fast. Moscow will hear sf the theory, however, and that is the main thing- It will give Mr. Stalin something to think about, other than Spain and world revolution. Koto The expectation of a general European war in April la not shared by the best Judges In official quar ters, although some very well In formed persons are Inclined to believe It probable. This kind of terrorizing diploma! c pressure mny promote German-Japanese purposes in Russia faster than you would believe. It was only a few months ago that Stalin found it necessary to stage a wholesale purge of political adversar ies. Now he has timed his announce ment of a Uberalieatlon of the soviet constitution to coincide with t.ne alli ance announcement. The manner and awing of his step does not Indicate that he considers his government perpetually secure. Incidentally, the constitutions liberalization does not seem to be very deep or sincere. The people are to be given freedom on paper, but woe will bo unto them if they try to exercise It In any manner displeasing to the government. The press is to be free slso. but you will wait a long time before you will find any Russian editor denouncing Stalin In print. Stalin's move toward "a real de mocracy" was deemed here to t rather tardy bid for the sympatny of democracies, particularly the United States. Pew authorities here con&ld ered It seriously. Certainly t did not Inspire any real official sympathy Nor did our diplomats devote any greater attention to the similar bid from tht Germans and Japanese. They did not deign to comment upon the pointed assertion of Hitler's Rib bentrop that the V. S. had protested against the comminturn last year and that any nation would be welcomed Into the new alliance. BoJ.h the German and Japanese diplomats are unofficially axar of the fact that the V, B. cannot entr into any mutual d!fnse part of for eign nations, and the prwnt govern ment would not, tf it could. An Interesting theory of the com- !ng European war Is offered by one official here. He savs tV.rr t!M GCUH4G0l CD, fct.

Duffy WASHING TON. Nov. 28 (A3) A battle in congress over the unemploy ment taxes was foreshadowed today by a survey showing about hair the states have no plans to quallfj for tho 1936 benefits before the Decem ber 31 deadline. Officials In several states were counting on an extension of the time for qualifying, despite administration opposition. But In others, there was renewed talk of convening the legis latures in special sessions to enact unemployment Insurance so the states could get their shares or the taxes that must be paid anyway. Preparations were under way at the social security board to make public estimates of the amounts states will lose, unless they Join In with the fed eral law. This was designed aa an added inducement for early action. A credit of up to 00 per cent against the federal tax Is allowed employers for whatever they pay In state un employment taxes. . R. Gordon Wagenet, director of the unemployment bureau at the secur ity board, expressed satisfaction at the turn of events since the supreme court on Monday upheld the New York state law,- "More has happened thla week to promote the insurance Idea than in any week ainoe enactment of the fed-, eral law In 1935." he said. Hardly had the highest court spok en, on a four to four division, than inquiries from the states about their position rained upon the security board. The legislatures of several states were called Into special ses sions. , The Washington law recently was Invalidated. A new one la planned when the legislature meets In Jan uary.
