Four powera, Australia, Britain, The Netherlands and the United States, simultaneously put toe pressure, on Japan, and. there was little Indication which way the cat would jump" whether Japan would be propelled into open war on toe Axle side, or would back down precipitately. Britain warned Japan that her more against toe Dutch East to- -' dice would be conaldered in too light af.e warlike act Australia echoed this, end held e pedal secret cabinet meeting .to discuss defensive action against Japan. The Netherlands government, in London, ordered all ships in East Indian waters or neighborhoods to put at ones into neutral ports, a usual prelude to warfare. The. Uttited Statee issued to aU American! in Chine end Japan a third and peremptory warning to leave immediately. Quick was toe response from Japan, but once again the response showed the nation la divided, end there were reports that there were so many Axis agents in position! of power in Tokyo that toe Japaneae government wee in reality little more than a puppet. The first evidence that the pree-ur- e from the four powera wee taking effect came from official Japanese sources, in toe form of a statement that flw fleet movements had only been to keep order in territory, and that no warlike measures against the South Pacific were intended. But toe very next day, after President Roosevelt had bed a long, personal and serious talk with Ambassador .Nomura, toe only announcement from which tree that be bed stressed the necessity of friendly relations, one Japanese newspaper printed an editorial comment that Nomura wee "confronted with an impossible teak." On toil fire the Italian end German papers beeped oil, one Rome dispatch saying that American activities in the Pacific were definitely threatening to Japan and could only result in war. The activities referred to were contracts awarded for the fortification of Pacific bases, more than alone to be spent at Guam, a base at which the Japansese have been looking sideways for long time. But if these "activities" were threatening, the Axis powers had aomething new to get excited about when Great Britain announced that he had mined the see lanes in the vicinity of Singapore, her important oriental naval bate. While the brief government notice to mariners giving the boundaries of the mined to why areas gave no explanation the move wee made.

A considerable proportion of the people of this country, approve this position, end from the results of recent polls, an overwhelming majority want to help Britain all we can. , to view of this obvious position of the President it would seem that Senator Wheeler is guilty of muddying the water when he says that not most but all the fighting planes we produce ere being sent to Britain.

The minds of the greet majority of Americans are pretty well set on this whole thing.
