JAPAN’S WAR NEWS
Fooling Her People (Rec. 11.10) LONDON, Nov. 29. “The Times” in a leading article, says; Japans version oi recent sea engagements reveals the Japanese rulers' solicitude for the spirit of their people. Tokio has always jumped in first with versions of tne sea battles, which invariably have been hailed as resounding victories for Japan. This procedure has become so regular that a Japanese claim to have sunk a number of American warships is now a sure indication that the Japanese Navy has just suffered serious losses. ’This policy of inversion is likely to recoil on the heads of its authors. It is significant that, while Japan s rulers find it appropriate to feed the Japanese with fairy tales of nonexistent victories, British and American spokesmen had to warn their countrymen against excessive optimism.”
