A renascence of sword-flourishing nationalism, fostered by the Army leaders has swept over Japan and has just been given still more punch by the Japanese-German agreement to fight Communism (TIME, Dec. 7) and by the even more recent Japanese-Italian accord in which Japan recognized Mussolini's conquest...
