JAPAN'S FUTURE P0SITI0N
Tokio, Sept. 17. Addressing the flnal meeting of the . preparatory commission, the Prime Minister, Prince Konoye, said: "I think Japan's situation will become increasingly serious in the near future, for which reason Japan's 100,000,000 people must act as one in an effort to surmount this national emergency." The Hongkong coi-respondent of the North American Newspaper Alliance says ■ inf ormed persons believe the SinoJapanese war will come to a climax within a few weeks. The Japanese are in unmistakable internal straits because of the growing economic pinch at home and unrest in the field in China. They desire a great 1940 push before the weather prolongs the campaign into the winter. Tne Japanese are reported to want a good victory to strengthen the home morale. There is no indication that the Chinese are not ready for the attack. If the Chinese can smashingly defeat the expected blitzkrieg the Japanese are likely to have the worst winter since the attempt at "the new order" was started.
