Suppose a few American soldiers doing their duty over in China under orders from this Government are wounded or killed by the Japanese troops. All of a sudden we have an incident that leads to war. Unfortunately there is bad blood between Japan and the United States due to our restriction upon their immigration into this country and due to the fact that we have bombarded them time after time in regard to purely Asiatic matters. If we leave our troops there and some incident arises. then we are more than apt to be involved in a war against our own will. for there is not a single American. Democrat or Republican. who wants war with Japan. There is nothing to be gained by it. and we would pay a terrible price in blood. tears. and treasure. Furthermore. the problem in the Far East is an Asiatic problem involving Soviet Russia. China. Japan. and likewise Great Britain.
