298 3 FAR EASTERN APPRECIATION, 1937. PART I.—INTRODUCTION. Assumptions. IN Paper No. C.O.S. 459 (J.P.) the Chiefs of Staff approved of our proposal to prepare an appreciation of the situation in the Far East as it would stand to-day in the event of war against Japan, assuming that we would not simultaneously be embarrassed by hostilities against a European Power. 2. Even if the recently-announced agreement between Japan and Germany as to their joint attitude to Bolshevism is left out of account, the problem of war against Japan can never be independent of the political situation in Europe and the rest of the world.
