Thailand Will Be Hot Spot In Far East
Rev Beebe, longtime Presbyterian missionary to Thailand, told Wooster Lions Club Thailand will be a key front in the Far East. He described Thai leadership as patriotic and progressive, noted Thai monarchy's small size, and accused Japan of guiding propaganda and a six month invasion period to aid Burma Road access. He cited a 10 year history of Japanese courting and a Thai government now under a regency council.
