"The many attempts made both by Great Britain and the United States to retrieve past errors and to reach a sympathetic understanding of Japan- ese needs were treated as a sign of weakness and used as a starting point for fresh aggression."

After stating that Japan's progress in the last three years has been accompanied by deliberate provoca- tion of the Western Powers, the "Times" adds: "The pact now con- cluded with the Axis marks a further step, and almost the last step, on this path. It must now be regretfully admitted that the caution characteri tle of Japanese foreign policy in the past has been abandoned.

"The country where the pact has been received with the most unre- served satisfaction is China, whose far-seeing rulers believe that Japan, by deliberately courting hostility with Great Britain, the British Dominions and the United States, has fatally mortgaged her future and involved herself in the consequences of Germany's coming defeat.
