Si—Who in London, Washington, Paris, Moscow or Chunitking does not understand the aim of the totalitarian imperialism with the anti-Comintern Alliance as its camouflage? And!

To the Editor of the "Noent-Curxa Dany New StI wonder how many of those who regularly visit the Western per-lineter have noticed the interesting Grama which has now been in progress for more than one year.
At the time the Japanese forces manned the Great Western Road railway erossing, they put up a small' Japanese flag to which was added ster on the "Ta Tuo" flag with the "in" and "Yang" emblem.
These two flags became very tattered and forlorn looking after a time but they were allowed to remain as "proud" markers of the beginning of Japanese occupied territory.
And now the drama begins. The British High Command seeing their own post on the Shanghai side of the railway without any flag or marker apparently decided to remedy the situation by erecting a tall flag sto (about 14 ft) and adorning it with large "Union Jack." I: made a proud showing. being new and of respectable size, and rather accentrated the tattered and forlorn appearance of the diminutive "Rising Sun" flag a few feet away, Then the Japanese High Command must have been called in by the troops manning the post, for a few days later a monster "Rising Sun" flag made its appearance adjoining an even taller flag staff than that of the British, Tu the face of such ostentation the "Union Jack" appeared shyly. to shrink and even sulk a. little, and for some months it looked as if it would just fade away and die, But the bigger they are the harder they fall, An old saying, but true, as evidenced in a short time by' the fading and tattering of the "Rising Sur flag. It just could not "took"
and within a few weeks the elements had eaten off the whole of one of the white borders and halt of red "Sun"
The "Union Jack" seeing the condition of his vis-a-vis then perked up in—still without a sign of wear tear, he once more proudly flapped In the breeze and whilst he still had to look up to see his com-anion he no more looked the un-Jderdog. And even when the "Rising Sur flag was replaced by a new but somewhat smaller one, the Union Jack" continued to flap merrily in the breeze because he knew he could it; this has since been shown true because the new "Rising Sun" flag is again eaten almost half across whilst the "Union Jack," apart from an almost imperceptible amount of furring on one edge. remains as new.
Perhaps some others, besides myself, will see a good omen in this Uttle drama at the railway crossing.
Shanghai, Nov. 26.
