Attempt To Force Japan And Spain Into The War
2.
*-*
FURTHER LIGHT HAS NOW BEEN SHED ON WHAT WAS INTENDED TO BE A GREAT OFFENSIVE IN POLITICAL WARFARE, TIMED BY GERMAN STRATEGY TO COIN- CIDE WITH THE MILITARY ATTACK ON RUS- CORRES- SIA, WRITES THE DIPLOMATIC PONDENT OF THE "OBSERVER.”
The broadside military attack on Russia on June 22 was calculated at once to force Japan and Spain, and then Turkey, into war against the British Empire.
The lever which was to be used in the case of Japan and Spain was the revived Com- munist bogey, and in the case of Turkey the renewed demonstration of Axis invincibility.
On July 1, therefore, Germany and Italy gave de jure recogni- tion to the Nanking puppet gov- ernment of Wang Ching-wei. The German newspapers of July 2 and the Italian newspapers of the same day all elaborately ex- plained in almost identical words that "Germany's and Italy's re- cognition is the consequence of the crusade against Communism.'
At the same time, Wanz Ching- wei was received by the Emperor of Japan.
