OF BRITISH LION: MESSAGE IS
OF WARNING AGAINST EASY HOPES
EUROPE WHEN WAR ENDS CHUNGKING Nazi
Vigorous Attack On Social, Economic Problem Urged
AFTER THE WAR, BRITAIN, “IN TACKLING THE PROBLEM OF HER OWN RECONSTRUCTION WILL BECOME THE NATURAL LEADER IN THE RECONSTRUC- TION OF EUROPE,"
This, says a British Wireless message, is the theme of the editorial in THE TIMES which points out that just because the British have always estimated the war would be long as first decisions of the British War Cabinet showed the British Government cannot afford to have a war policy only.
War, it argues, "always breaks the existing moulds of society and breeds a fer- ment of ideas" and this is the moment when we should begin to think, in concrete terms, how to rebuild a good life in the 20 years after the war-not only in this coun- try but all over Europe as well."
Japan Will Lodge Protest With Britain On Arrests
TOKYO, Aug. 5' (Reuter)-The Japanese Government| are fully resolved to take “drastic measures" In the event of the Japanese arrests situation worsening, according to Domel citing "observers close to the Foreign Office,"
The Asahi Shimbun declares that Mr. Matsuoka, Japanese, Foreign" "Minister, has decided to lodge a strong protest with Britain, de- manding the immediate release of all arrested Japanese and a guar- antee of no further "unlawful ap- prehension." »
The Foreign Office are said to hold the view, according to the Asahi, that if Britain does not show her sincerity in the matter, Japan will renounce further diplomatic negotiations and make a "serious political move."
STATEMENT IN
COMMONS
Either the Prime Minister, Mr. Winston Churchill or the Foreign Under-Secretary, Mr. R. A. Butler, will make a state- ment in the House of Commons today on the position of the Japanese, following the arrests of Japanese in British teëri- tory, says Reater.
What will be reefed most of all when peace is restored, The Times thinks, is "planned consumption." And it is just here it goes on to emphasise that the social and, in- ternational policy dovetail into one
another.

POPULACE WARNED CHUNGKING, Aug. 5 (Re ter)-The Chungking Air De- fence headquarters have warned the populace against too much faith in the so-call- ed safety zones announced by the Japanese on account of a large number of Chungking's populace who are flocking to the south bank of the Yang- tse River during Japanese raids on China's war-time capital.
The authorities explain that the Japanese have bombed, on previous oc- casions, the. so-called safety zones.
Invasion Preparations

Thoroughness
LONDON, AUG. 5 (REUTER)—“AT THE ALERT" is the keynote of the leaders In a number of morning papers who welcome what the DAILY EXPRESS calls Mr. Winston Churchill's prod in the ribs of the British lion and warning him that the danger of invasion has not yet passed.
The DAILY TELEGRAPH says that the Prime Minister's message is a measured warning against easy hopes.
When people compare the frantic boasts of Nazi hatred with the actual results of its efforts against our country, there is a natural impulse to underrate the danger, adds the paper.
MR. CHURCHILL'S WORDS ASSESS IT IN TRUE PROPORTIONS. HITLER'S DELAY IN LAUNCHING AN ATTACK MUST NOT LULL US INTO COMFORTABLE DE-
·LUSIONS. ·
Two things are certain. Nazidom will strain its power to breaking-point in an effort to crush us and that preparations have been made with Prussian thoroughness for an invasion of any kind.
It is also pointed out that the Japanese advised the populace to evacuate the city at points a cer- "Reorganisation of our own tain distance from Chungking yet
