U.S. AND BRITISH POLICY
Tokio Press Comment
(Received October 5, 12.15 a.m.) TOKIO. October 4. 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 that the United States is behind this mischief. British anti-Ja'panese manoeuvres are understandable, for Britain is doomed in Europe. While 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 living and trade.”
The “Chugai Shogyo Shimpo” 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.”
