...Empire could wish is Mr. Naotake Sato. In Tokyo his official rating was Ambassador to France last week, when suddenly he became Foreign Minister. Mr. Sato is emphatically a civilian, whereas the point of view of General-Premier Senjuro Hayashi's new "Gold Braid Cabinet" is extremely militarist (TIME, Feb. 22 et seq.), but the new Foreign Minister quickly made an adroit move. His civilian predecessors at the Foreign Office have tried to attend to their job as though the Japanese Cabinet was like any other co-operative Cabinet- whereas under the Japanese Constitution the exalted positions...
...Federal Reserve Board. As would have been the case in Wall Street, financial Tokyo was ''immensely relieved." Next followed a hammer blow. When Premier Hayashi first received imperial orders to form a Government, the "gold-braiders" clamored for Lieut. General Gen Sugiyama, an out-and-out militarist, to be War Minister. Premier Hayashi, however, with a show of tact, gave that portfolio to Kotaro Nakamura.

Mr. Bertsch states that modern warfare is worthless without the proper, modern equipment to practice it with. He lays this grievous oversight to the American people and their lack of what he calls sense of preparedness. Just what does he mean by that? Of what great...
...rivalry between Militarist Starhemberg and Civilian Schuschnigg reached a near climax with the Prince's attempt to wreck the Chancellor's Cabinet through the Phönix-Wien insurance scandal (TIME, April 20, et seq.). Politically it was a squib. More serious trouble occurred fortnight ago when Chancellor von Schuschnigg's own private army, the Catholic Freiheitsbund. staged an anti-Semitic march around the Ringstrasse. Word leaked out that Heimwehrmen, in civilian clothes, had been told off to break the parade up with rioting when it reached the Heldenplatz. Scrawny Chancellor von Schuschnigg promptly showed a personal...
