ALMOST CERTAIN
AMERICAN ENTRY INTO WAR ACCORDING TO JAPANESE SPOKESMAN. TREMENDOUS INCREASE IN AID TO BRITAIN. (Bv Telegraph—Press Association— Copyright) LONDON. June 19. “The United States’ entry into the war on Britain’s side is almost certain,’ declared the spokesman of the Japanese Cabinet, Mr Ishii, addressing the Central Co-operative Council in Tokio. “American aid to Britain has increased tremendously lately, but Germany is taking the deliberate attitude of refraining from any step to stir up the United States,” he said. He added that in the last war the United States expeditionary forces were able to land in Europe, but the situation was different today. A Shanghai message says that passengers on board the liner President Coolidge from Hong Kong reported seeing aproximately 100 Japanese warships, including battleships, cruisers, aircraftcarriers, destroyers, submarines and supply ships off Amoy (275 miles northeast of Hong Kong) and moving southward.
