United States adopts hard line toward Japan in Far East policy
Washington July 30 The United States will handle Japan on a tough old fashioned horse trading basis. If Japan cooperates in trade relations may continue under strict controls. Any threats to American interests in the Pacific will meet swift retaliation. An attack on Dutch East Indies or Singapore will be viewed as a direct threat to U S interests. Oil shipments to Japan may be curtailed significantly unless Japan halts preparations for an attack on American British and Dutch interests in the southern Pacific. The policy seeks to deter aggression while avoiding forced war but reserves economic diplomatic or military responses as needed.
