Japan and Portugal also remain officially at peace, although Japan has been exerting pressure upon the Portugese colony of Macao on the South China coast. For five years Japanese armies have isolated this segment of the Portugesa empire and have staged numerous incidents which infringed upon Portugesc rights. The latest is the reported attempt to kidnap the acting British Consul in Ma- CRO. Meanwhile Japan continues oc- cupation of the Portugese half of the Island of Timer, 500 miles northwest of Australia. Although London recently re- ported a “crisls" in Japanese-Port- ugese relations, it appeared today that the Japanese would be equally reluctant to lose their Lisbon list- ening post by driving Portugal in. to belligerency.
