Pact in making seen as check to Nazi threat
An Anglo French alliance forming to counter Nazi ambitions in central Europe was in the works as fighting raged in China and Spain. Daladier planned talks in London with Chamberlain to coordinate military and diplomatic safeguards, while Britain and France move to lure Italy away from Germany and exclude Germany from a proposed Italy pact. Japanese forces pushed south through Shantung into central China despite Chinese resistance, threatening Lunghai rail junction as refugees fled toward the south. In Spain Insurgents repelled government counterattacks and pressed a Mediterranean coastal advance after artillery bombardment. The State Department signaled that Italy and Japan likely violated treaties in Ethiopia and China, citing Sumner Welles in a note to the Foreign Affairs Committee.
