THAILAND FAITH
PACTS WITH BRITAIN JAP. THREATS DENIED NO REASON FOR INVASION (Reed. Aug. 1, 9 a.m.) LONDON, July 31. The Bangkok radio, in a special broadcast yesterday, stated that the British and Thailand relations were closer than ever. The British troop movements in the Far East were quite naturally only defensive measures. Thailand recently signed a nonaggression pact with Britain, who had never been known to break such pacts. I Japan had not threatened Thailand, nor had she reason to do so. If the Japanese wanted to move south, there was no reason to pass across Thailand. That would involve a longer route. Japan was a peace-loving country, desiring to raise the status of Asiatics and also to gain full independence tor all Asiatic countries.
