JAPAN NERVOUS
WAR TIDES APPROACH Rec. noon. NEW YORK, Mar. S. Speaking over the Tokyo radio, Lieutenant-Gcneral Ushijima, vicepresident of the Imperial Rule Assistance, appealed to the home front to become "one burning ball of fire" to win the war. "The United States," he added, "waits, lying in ambush, to hit us in the middle of our nation's progress. She has plunged into our inner South Sea sphere with powerful strength as if she might reach to Japan immediately." Another broadcast pointed out that the strengthening of all air-raid precautions is an urgent task for March. "Part of our land has already been changed into a battlefield. We must prepare to meet the enemy planes, whenever they come," it stated.
The Cabinet has approved of decrees, mobilising students, in accordance with a programme of decisive wartime measures.
