Description
Japan's southward drive opens the 1940 Far East volume. The Indies, Indochina, and Thailand feel the pressure. The undeclared war in China grinds on in chapters. Treaty rights shrink in the next long file. Sanctions sharpen into export controls in theirs. The old trade treaty lapses; no pact replaces it. Aid and arms for China take a long run. Customs funds need guarding from Tokyo's hand. Shanghai, Kulangsu, and Tientsin face demands again. Guarding Americans closes the main list.
A mid-volume note lists Japan's interferences in bulk. Trade and enterprise suffer unwarranted bars, Hull writes. The note goes to Tokyo through Peiping. Copies reach Shanghai and Chungking the same day. The volume is the Pacific closing in. Each file narrows Japan's room to plead surprise.
