WORST IMPRESSION

MADE IN WASHINGTON BY TOJO’S SPEECHES

HARDENING OF AMERICAN OPINION.

PRESIDENT’S WARNING UTTERANCE. (By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright) (Received This Day, 12.15 p.m.) WASHINGTON, November 30. After a telephone conference with the Secretary of State, Mr Cordell Hull, President Roosevelt is cutting short his holiday at Warm Springs and is returning to Washington immediately. His secretary, Mr Stephen Early, indicated that General Tojo’s speech, in'which he demanded steps to end the Anglo-American “exploitation” influenced the President’s decision to return to the capital. General Tojo’s speech has made the worst possible impression in Washington and it would not take'many more such speeches to harden American public opinion to the point where it would welcome war with Japan. General Tojo’s speech is considered almost as menacing as an actual step of aggression.

President Roosevelt, in a speech at Warm Springs yesterday, said: “By this time next year, American soldiers and sailors now in training masHctually be fighting for the defence of American institutions.”

Foreign military observers in Shanghai said Japanese army officers were predicting Japanese moves in Thailand by December 1 if Mr Kurusu failed. However it is believed that the Japanese are not yet ready to move. A’ Singapore message reports that British troops and some R.A.F. units were recalled to barracks last night. An official statement said the step was a normal precaution in the existing circumstances. Tension in Singapore has grown considerably during the last 24 hours and the Services are standing by, in readiness for any eventuality. Large contingents of British and Indian troops have reached Rangoon during the last two days.
