"TIME TO DRAW LINE"
JAPAN CAN HAVE WAR
SENATOR'S BLUNT SPEECH
WASHINGTON,-November-18.
Senator Claude Pepper (Democrat. Florida), a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, and a strong supporter of the President's foreign policy, said in a statement today that the time had come to draw the line. If war in the Pacific was necessary to resist the Japanese rampage, then war would have to come. If the Japanese did not like it, they could lump it. If they wanted peace now, let them get out of China.
A Press spokesman of the Japanese army in Tokio said that the strength of the A.B.C.D. Powers had been increased from two to eight times since the European war began, but was still weak and scattered. The United States was the backbone of the combine, he said.
*, Japan had been trying for peace in the Pacific, but could not sit still watching the actions of the A.B.C.D. Powei's.
