FACE EIGHT Japan's Desire to Continue Talks May Be Play for Time to Guess' Who's Going to Win in Europe By D.Witt Wide World Japan'f decision to continue Statu came as the breath of w elflc, but it Isn't surprising since Tokyo is anxious to evade con This decision Is, of course, im pelled by necessity. It may even be that It is calculated to give the Japanese more time to try to make up their minds who is going to win the European war. One of Japan's greatest prob lems has been to guess the out come of the conflict correctly. If she crosses swords with Amer ica,, and Britain, and Germany loses, it will be just too bad for the land of the rising sun. It might be just too bad anyway, but that is a hazard of another sort. This being so, it Is quite pos sible that the reverses suffered by the Germans in these last critical hours of the Japanese cabinet's debate may have had much to do with the decision to continue negotiations with Washington. Had Hitler's forces wept on into Moscow, or knocked the allies out in Libya, we might have had a different story from Japan. They call the Nazi chieftain "Lucky Hitler" In Germany be cause of the uncanny frequency of his successes, but the past week-end very definitely has been one of his off-times. This is by way of reporting that the allies have struck some power ful blows of great potential im portance. The fuehrer has had a tre mendous setback in the sensa tional feat of the red army not only in forcing the Nazis out of Rostov the hinge on which swings the gate to the Caucasus but in hurling back the invad ers to the west along the Black sea coast. Indeed, if the Bolshe vists can hold the advantage they have achieved it will have vital bearing not only on the outcome of the war but on its duration. Here it is necessary to repeat what has been said in this col umn before to the effect that Hitler's resources aren't likely to stand the strain unless he can tap new supplies. Either he must knock Russia cold as he did France, or he must escape the Increasingly chaotic conditions on the blockaded European con tinent by breaking into the Caucasus and the middle east. Now the greatest blow Hitler has had In his efforts to reach this land of milk and honey is the red victory at Rostov and westward. ARRESTED AT G. P.

Virtually all the remaining Japanese at Hongkong, British crown colony on the south China coast, were reported preparing to leave for Canton by steamer tomorrow. Hongkong Alert The British Hongkong garrison was held in "an advanced state of preparedness" after a three- day test of defenses, and British 1 nationals not required for mill- j tary duty were urged to leave. I A Chinese government spokes man, holding that intensified action against China was more likely than any other Japanese action if the Washington talks fall, expressed confidence that no Washington agreement harmful in any way to China's Interests could eventuate. At Bangkok, qualified ob servers attached significance to a statement of the Bangkok radio that Thailand would welcome the assistance of friendly powers if the Thais were forced to fight for their independence.

THI LARGEST-FINEST 1ST lOCATSb IN 00 MANACEMINT DAN t. LONDON . STAY AT OREGON, MONDAY, M WATER TANK ORDNANCE DEPOT Hermiston Installation Visi ble for Miles Project 92 Per Cent Complete. By AI Quiring Hermiston, Ore., Dec. .1 (IP) soaring 130 feet skyward on sturdy steel legs, vividly painted with red and white checks and gayly bedecked with aeronautic al obstruction lights, the 130,000 gallon water tank of the Uma tilla ordnance depot has be come a new outstanding eastern Oregon landmark. West-bound travelers along transcontinental highway No. 30 first sight it as they top Rieth ridge near Pendleton, more than 30 miles to the east, and it re mains their marker until they dip into the Columbia river basin route west of Umatilla. Big Change Noted Nor is the water tower the only change in the eastern Ore gon landscape contributed by the $13,000,000 depot. Near its base are half a dozen brick and tile permanent buildings; out side the administration area there are a dozen steel and brick powder magazines and, sprawl ed over 24 square miles of sur rounding desert, are 1,000 con crete and steel igloos, blending harmoniously with the sand and sage brush in which they are studded. The igloos are not visible when the traveler first sights the vivid tower, but, as he swings nearer, topping each rolling hill, they enter his con sciousness. At first they appear as tiny beehives, dotting the desert; a tew hill tops later they seem to become sand dunes, and, finally, he is aware of them as a tremendous monument to American preparedness. Nearly Complete Major Harry E. Schuppner announced today that the pro ject is 92 per cent complete. The payroll of J. A.
