IN ARMAMENT RACE
New Zealand Joining With Other Dominions LABOUR JOURNAL’S VIEW By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright , (Received October 15, 7 p.m.) London, October 14. “Dominions Join New Armament Race,” on the “Daily Herald’s” front page as a triple-column heading over a story saying that Australia and Nexv Zealand are swiftly developing armed forces under a liaison plan between themselves, also with the approval of the British Government. This is the latest development of the Far Eastern situation, which is becoming increasingly menacing. The "Daily Herald” narrates the plans of Australia, New Zealand and South Africa, as reported by cable. The paper alludes to Japan’s aggression in the Pacific and her demand for a more powerful navy, following unsuccessful attempts to make a pact with Holland in return for concessions in Dutch New Guinea, where the Japanese hoped to lay down a system of disguised air bases. An editorial says that the new Australian naval programme and the South African defence programme are parts of a world movement among nations. “There is world-wide rearming, the mad race is beginning again,” it adds.
