JAPAN MOVES AGAIN -

In essence he says that there is no threat to Britain in Japanese aequisition (for the complete occupation of the country by troops can mean no less) of Indo-China; from what the Japanese have so far announced of their intentions there is nothing to fear although not caly Britain .but all the Dominions will "watch situation very closely."
The Japanese Consul General in Singapore was so emphatic of the Japaneso "peace move" that he forgot to point out that such purity of motive could cusily have withstood the light of previous publicity and might conceivably have had Anglo- American approval if a proce- dure had been adopted bearing fewer marks of the Hitlerlan doctrine of fear, compulsion and disregard of the pledged word.

All this can be said of the ethical considerations. As for the practical side there is no doubt that Japan courts our animosity by putting out such stories as a British threat to Indo-China. Whether her wild and woolly ambitions with re gard to the New Order, in Asia definite have been cast in a mould yet in still uncertain but British defence preparations in Malaya, the unprepared state of Camranh Bay and the fast- building volunteer air force being gathered in Free Chinu will weigh heavily against any more aggressive designs. The economic weapon too can be wielded heavily by all democra- tle interests in the Far East. If Japan's real, destre. is to restore peace in the Far East there are so many obvious ways of going about it that will really be effective, that it would require a book and not merely this column to enumerate them.
