German warships would be unable to avoid shooting at ships which might be bringing bombs to be used against Berlin. Japanese political observers at Tokio interpreted the neutrality revision as seriously affecting Japan, since it would be the basis for BritishAmerican two-ocean naval operations.

Observers predicted that a frontal clash between Germany and America was inevitable.
