JAPAN MOVES AGAIN
the
IN yesterday's maze of re- ports on the Far East situation ranging from Vichy camı. placence, Japanese ingratiation, Chinese anxiety, British conjec- ture and veiled American threats the most surprising was that of the "Reuter" diplomatie correspondent who issued from London one of those effusions so characteristic of Munich days. In essence he says that there is no threat to Britain in Japanese acquisition (for the complete uccupation 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 only Britain but all the Dominions will "watch situation very closely."
The Japanese Consul General in Singapore was so emphatic of the Japanese "pence move" that he forgot to point out that sugh purity of motive could easily 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 Hitlerian 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 по doubt that Japan courts 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 liave been cast in A definite mould yet is still uncertain but British defence preparations in Mulaya, the unprepared state of Camranh Bay and the fant- building volunteer nir force being gathered in Free Chinu will weigh heavily against any moro aggressive designs. The economic weapon too can be wielded heavily by all democrn- lic interests in the Far East. If Japan's real desire is to reatoro 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.

News dispatches in the past week have told of the spontaneous and widespread display of the “V” sign for Victory in the occupied countries in Europe. As the symbol of the forces which are at work to free the overrun populations, it is one of Hitler's biggest headaches. Read below of Dutch patriotic resist-
