DEFIANT TALK
IN TOKIO NEWSPAPER JAPAN GRIMLY RESOLVED. TO ESTABLISH HER SPHERE. 1 (Received This Day. 11.40 a.m.) TOKIO. August 12. The “Kokumin Shimbun" said the United States and Britain had been warned that any further pressure on Japan would bring nothing but the worst situation, and Japan would go ahead with grim resolve towards the establishment of her sphere in East Asia.
Well-informed circles in London are unable to see any prospect of a lasting peaceful settlement emerging from the present crisis. They believe that if Japan does not press the present crisis to the point of war immediately, she will at least remain poised, ready topounce when she thinks the time is more opportune. The “New York Herald-Tribune” says: “If Russia collapses, or Vichy agrees to help make the South Atlantic a German playground, then Japan will surge onward.”
