"Japanese can strip the British naked, and they can do nothing," declared Dr. Joseph Goebbels, Reich Minister of Propaganda, in belittling British threats in the course of an address yesterday before a Nazi Party meeting, The address was in reply to the speech at Cardiff on Saturday of Mr. Neville Chamberlain, the British Prime Minister, who said, inter alia, that Great Britain was determined to oppose the use of force to-bring about changes which should be determined by discussion and ço-operation.
