British Warships In The South Pacific A Tense Situation
A British naval squadron led by the 30 600 ton battleship Warspite was reportedly sighted in the gulf of Siam amid tensions over French Indo China and Singapore. Japan halted all US bound steamship departures, leaving about 600 Americans stranded in the Pacific island empire. The report hints at Britain's resolve to counter new threats with greater force, and notes Warspite would be the first capital ship east of the Suez in years. Meanwhile Japan hinted at a possible national mobilization to deal with economic pressure from the US and Britain as liners prepared to sail from San Francisco and Seattle.
