Indo-China fits into Japanese economy like a key in a keyhole. Japan is hungry, has been since the beginning of the Sino-Japanese war. The annual Indo-Chinese rice surplus of more than one million tons would go far towards filling Japanese bellies. Japan has large stocks of textiles and manufactured gadgets in her warehouses. French Indo-China can buy them. Last week the Indo-Chinese were ready to regard the New Order as something distinctly desirable...
Exposed Flank. Most serious obstacle to any all-out move by Japan is the exposure of her northern flank to an attack by Soviet Russia.

Chan and Wang were promoted to captain and chief engineer respectively; the other hands sailed on other ships...

No. 1 man in Java is an expatriate German Gentile, Dr. Gustav Heinrich Ralph von Koenigswald, research associate of the Carnegie Institution of Washington. Of late these earnest anthropologists have shown an increasing interest in each other's doings, and have tended to ignore the heterodox mutterings of old Dr. Dubois...
