Furthermore, it may be too late now to try to persuade Thailand to fight by the guarantee of mili- tary supplies. Such a guarantee may produce the opposite effect. Thailand has never been out-and- out pro-Japanese. The reason why she has never made clear her at- titude is because of the absence of an efective Anglo-American guar- antee.
Powder Keg
"Me belleve," adds the jour- nai that Thailand will become the powder keg of the Far East and that the fuse is being set. America and Britain should quickly offer armed aid to Thai- land, and should not walt to confirm whether Japanese troops are concentrated on the Thai border.
"The situation is extremely critical, and no time should be lost. Britain and the United States must answer action with action. Only then may there be some hope of forestalling Japan's advances."
China, saya the journal, is naturally greatly concerned over the situation in Thailand, There are two or three million Chinese there. If anything should happen to Thailand the future of overseas Chinese
be cannot
imagined. Besides, if Thailand is endanger- ed, it is bound to affect Burma, and that in turn will affect the Burma Road.
"For this reason,” concludes the journal, "we hope Thailand will resist to the last and simultané- ously. we hope Britain and Ameri- ca will give 'practical st*pport to Thailand to extricate, ier from her present dilemma, Britain and America tould, realise that the future or the anti-aggression front in the Far East rests with the fate of Thailand.” Central News.
