POLICY TO THWART JAPAN
♦ FORTIFIED BASE IN SOUTH CHINA SEA i REPORT IN TOKYO NEWSPAPER (Received December 23, 1.30 a.m.) TOKYO, December 22. The “Jiji Shimpo” publishes a sensational story that Britain, France, the United States, the Netherlands, and the Philippines are organising a policy to thwart Japan’s southward advance, which they regard as menacing their interests in south-east Asia and the South Pacific, and also to meet the new Japanese pact with Germany. The newspaper adds that to reinforce Singapore and Hong Kong, a new anti-Japanese base will be established on an island off South China. There will be fortifications, oil tanks, and an air base, for which British capital of 10,000,000 Chinese dollars has been appropriated.
