LIGHT OF ACTIONS
NOT REASSURING OFFER OF MEDIATION LITTLE KNOWLEDGE PATH OF AXIS MOVES (Ei«c Tfil. Copyright—-United Press Assn.) (Reed. Feb. 21, 9 a.m.) LONDON, Feb. 20. It is authoritatively stated in London that the Japanese offer of mediation in any part of the world showed little knowledge of the conditions which Japan’s Axis partners have produced in Europe and also took no account of the determination of the British people, often voiced by Mr. Winston Churchill, to fight without compromise for the defeat of Hitlerism.
The Times says: “The Japanese assurances must necessarily be interpreted in the light of Japanese actions which nobody will regard as reassuring. The main cause of uneasiness in the Far East is the three-Power pact, which is everywhere construed as a threat against the United States if she persisted in helping Britain. The Japanese actions in Thailand and Indochina and the pressure which Japan is obviously using against the Dutch Bast Indies have intensified the uneasiness.”
