"They have likewise marked out. a wide field for possible Japa- nese ex ansion southward. “We all continue to hope that the wiser counsels of the more moderate leaders in Japan will ultimately prevail. "It is, however. only the part of rudence to observe that. both in he statements of some of the Japanese leaders and in the move- ment of Japanese forces, there are indications that Japan may be led to undertake aggressive action at. the moment that may best serve the common cause of the aggres- sor nations. “Decision of the Japanese Gov- ernment to ally itself with Ger- many and Italy. under certain conditions. has undoubtedly great- ly increased tension in the whole Pacific area.

The Prime Minister referred to a nvcent inquiry into the situation on the Pacific coast where there has been "an unfortunate recrude- scence of anti-Oriental and par- ticularly anti-Japanese feeling ln British Columbia." This compel was "character- ised by who ly unsubstantiated and irresponsible charges and sc- cusstlom against our fellow mi- tlonels and other residents of Bri- lily by iish Columbia who are of Jnpii- nese racial origin."
