War with Japan a probability says world traveler
Roy M. Talbot, long in Chinese maritime service, warned in New York that war with Japan is likely, not possible, and the United States would pay dearly for unpreparedness. He argued Japan, with about a million soldiers and strong navy, has grown powerful while the U.S. lags behind and China is played to advantage by rival powers. He urged immediate U.S. preparation and warned of a potential Russo-German-Japanese alignment after the war.
