JAPAN AT END OF ROPE

the United States which began
to wage economic warfare on
her when it was discovered the
Japanese had plans which would
eventually clash with our in

Besides being Japan's best
customer the US. is her sole
source of supply of numerous
items vital in both peace and
time of war. Losing of u. S.
markets and imports has taken
Japan all the wayyto the face of,
poverty and economic ruin.
In addition Japan's casting in
her lot with the Axis powers

has ringed her with hostile ships
and cut her off from even furth-
er raw material sources.
Thus the plight of Nippon is
desperate, she must either back
water or fight a very powerful
aggregation of big nations, and
do it now. A special ambassador
from Japan is now in Washing
ton attempting to work out
some sort of truce. To much
