Tension between the United
States and Japan was about as
hi8n ten years ago as il i today.
The Japs and Chinese were fight
ing in Manchuria; the Jap Army
had begun its war Of aggression
and was infringing on the rights
Of Americans in China.
Many writers were predicting
then. as they are today. that Japan
would move into Russian Siberia.
The growing hostility between
the United States and Japan was
dixsipsfing as result Of a prom
ise that thsrs would be mo
more fishfinz~ in Manchuria.
japanese authorities made this
pledge 10 Secretary Stimson.
However. the pledge of the
Japanese Civilian Cabinet was
worthless. because they could
not control tie Jspanese Army
in Manchuria- And the japanese
Army had the people Of the Jap
