British conjec- ture and voiled threats the most surprising was that of the "Reuter" diplomatic correspondent who issued from London one of those effusions so characteristic of Munich- days.- In essence he says that there is ny threat to Britain in Japanese acquisition (for the complete Occupation of the country by troops can mean по less) of Indo-China; from what the Japanese have so far announced of their intentions there is nothing to fear although not only. Britain but all the Dominions will **watch situation very closely."
The Japanese Consul General in Singapore was so emphatic of the Japanese "peace move" that he forgot to point out that such purity of motive could casily have withstood the light of previous publicity, and might conceivably have had Anglo- American approval if a proce- duro had been adopted bearing fewer marks of the Hitlerinh doctrine of fear, compulsion and disregard of the pledged word.
