Picked Britain for Test

NOT WILLING to challenge America, Britain and France simultaneously, Japan picked Britain for a test. In Tientsin, the British sector adjoined the Japanese. Japan blockaded the British. Food supplies were halted. Jap barricades could not be passed without special permits. Appli= cants for permits were subjected to humiliating treatment. Those who tried to use them got worse. British women, as well as men, were stripped in the streets with grinning coolies looking on. As in the current Soviet case, one of Japan's known aims was to weaken western prestige and create for herself an impression of strength. . Accompanying the Tientsin spectacle, the Japs loosed a tidal wave of anti-western propaganda throughout the Jap-occupied areas of China.
