JAPAN’S INTENTIONS
MORE SABRE-RATTLING TEMPERED WITH CONCILIATION TOKIO, October 3. The ‘ Kokumin Shimbun ’ says the first measure of increased British and American pressure against Japan will probably be the reopening of the Burma Route. “ It is obvious,” the ‘ Kokumin Shimbun’ says, “ that the United States is behind this mischief. The British anti-Japanese manoeuvres are understandable. for Britain is doomed in Europe. Whilst the Japanese evacuation from London does not mean the immediate entry of Japan into the European war, Britain should know that the evacuation was not caused by difficulties of a living trade.”
The ‘ Shugai Shogyo Shimpo 1 says: ” Unless Britain and the United States openly show their teeth against Japan by deliberately perverting the Tripartite Pact, or through imaginary fears, there is no reason why Japan should not try to remain friendly with them. Japan can adopt a calm watch-and-see attitude.”
