Japan allied to Germany and Italy

Friday, September 27, 1940 www.onwar.com

In Berlin... Germany, Italy and Japan sign an agreement promising that each will declare war on any third party which joins the war against one of the three. It is stated that his agreement does not affect either Germany’s or Japan’s relations with the USSR. This treaty is known as the Tripartite Pact. All the signatories hope that the pact will deter the United States from joining the war in Europe or taking a more active line in the Far East.

I see we just handed another $25,000,000.00 to Chaing Kai Shek. While Stillwell usually referred to Chaing as “Peanut,” his other nickname for Chaing as “Cash My Check” is much better.

The Chinese played us for fools during the war. Their saying “We can always fool the foreigner” certainly applied to us.

And they are still at it today. Any American who does business with the Chinese is a fool.
