Description
Japan's southern advance fills the 1941 fifth volume. Chapters run from January to December's end. Thailand and Indochina feel the pressure in turn. Americans sail home from the Far East in files. The undeclared war in China grinds on meanwhile. Marines and sailors are ordered out of China. Their leaving stays unfinished when war erupts. Aid and arms for China take the longest run. Foreign courts in China would end by agreement. That policy is stated in a short file. Customs funds and Shanghai's zone follow.
Fur seals end the contents oddly. Japan kills the old four-power seal pact. Tampered American mail draws a last protest. A mid-volume report catches secret talks in Shanghai. New Fourth Army officers confer with the Japanese there. China's allies were also its rivals. The volume is an empire expanding.
