MORE TRUTH WANTED
Complaint By Japanese
(Received December 13. 11.5t> p.m.) MELBOURNE. December 13.
A Japanese radio announcer has been heard urging his Government to. tell the people the truth, says the official Australian listening post. He said : “Early in the war Japan gained victories < too easily, mid everyone lapsed into complacency. The authorities have been overcautious in thinking it was for the good of the nation not to inform the- people of the grave situation. “After Pearl Harbour. America reorganized while the Japanese were fiddling with their toothpicks and going with their belts loosened. On the Philippines the fate of the war depends. Japan was disgraced by the fall of Saipan, but regrets about Saipan will not suffice if the Philippines are lost.”
