Show BRITAIN'S WAR AGAINST JAPAN Prime Minister Churchill, in his . recent radio address, pledged the British Empire and Commonwealth Common-wealth of Nations to "fight side by side with the United States against Japan, no matter what it cost or how long it lasts." No responsible British statesman states-man omits the opportunity to reiterate reit-erate this pledge which has been made upon numerous occasions in the past. Every time the statement state-ment is made, the news comes from Washington that the "assurance" "assur-ance" is encouraging." Americans seem to overlook the additional fact that Mr. Churchill, when he said, "Actually wje have suffered from Japan injuries even greater than those which have roused the armed wrath of the American Union. This is a truth apparent to anybody any-body who has a kindergarten knowledge of what has occurred in the Far East. If the British government, gov-ernment, for any reason, should take such injuries from Japan without making war, the British Empire would come to an end in short order. |
