PLANS BEING MADE IN WASHINGTON
THREAT FROM JAPAN
-I'rcss Association— Copynslit.) LONDON, February 27.
(By Telegraph—
The Washington correspondent of the "New York Times" says that the Anglo-American Staff Committee io devising a strategy aimed at preventing the isolation of China.
Officials point out that the position of Burma and the deterioration in the South-west Pacific have created a new military situation. The initiative is now resting with Japan, which could attack Australia or concentrate against India.
Diplomatists arc increasingly concerned with the possibility of attempts by the Axis to join hands from the cast and west across India, and they suspect that the recent alleged attempt against the life of yon Papen, German Ambassador to Turkey, was probably the act of an agent provocateur with a view to bringing Turkey into the war as a bridge for the Nazis against India.
From Burma to Australia, for 4000 miles, the tentacles of the Japanese war octopus were continuing yesterday to exert pressure.
