Anglo - American Long-Distance Blockade
(Received 11.30 a.m.) NEW YORK, July 27.
The New York “Daily News,” which has the largest circulation in America, has a significant leading article, which states that the abrogation of the treaty with Japan has cut the United States in on the “white war,” which Japan is fighting with the British in China. “We cannot say we deplore the State Department’s action,” says this paper. “It seems to us that the time continues to be appropriate for Americans and Britons to consider the advisability of a certain “whole hog” move that has been suggested for the deflation of the Japanese military caste. “We mean a joint American and British long-distance naval blockade of Japan, keyed to Singapore, Hawaii and the Aleutians. Such a blockade would, in all likelihood, be bloodless, since the Japanese Navy could not come out in force far enough to break it.”
