Washington, May 6.
PEN junction between the United States and British navies should be effected in the Pacific to "shut up the Japanese fleet in its lair, as we know they are waiting with drawn dagger to stab us," suggested Democratic Senator Claude Pepper, of Florida, in a fighting speech favouring Britain in the Senate here today.
Long-range American bombers, he added. should be made available to China, "which. manned by American pilots enlisting voluntarily would make a shambles out of Tokyo, leaving not enough to build a bonfire. If the Japanese got a sample in their capital of what they did to China, they may lose some of their bloodthirstiness."
