Japanese strength seen set to seize far east riches
Washington reports say secret surveys assess Japan as capable of sweeping the Far East. Navy and army are in strong shape, with the navy unscathed by the Chinese war, and the army well prepared though not equal to the fleet. Economic strain and aims to seize Dutch East Indies and other Asian possessions are cited as reasons, with possible actions against Indo China and Pacific islands, while Britain’s Singa pore base may resist. The plan is linked to a simultaneous blitz on Britain and South Pacific expansion.
