'PURELY A BOGEY'
THE JAPANESE MENACE
LOYAL FRIEND TO BRITAIN
(UNITED MESS ASSOCIATION.—COPYRIGHT.)
SYDNEY, 15th June.
Mr. Walter Marks, a member of the Federal Parliament, who has returned from an extended visit to Japan, deprecates the keeping alive of. the Japanese bogey. He says that Japan is loyally abiding by the terms of the Washington Treaty. She could take Australia at any time the spirit moved her to do so; nothing could stop her. But she would not do this for many reasons, the, main ones being her desire for friendship with the British Empire, and because she had no desire to be a participant in the greatest naval battle ever seen—that between the British and Japanese fleets. The oft-repeated cry in Australia, " Look out, Japan will take us," was not only senseless, but ungenerous and an unpardonable insult to the nation that had rendered Australia such splendid service during the war, and had been supremely loyal to her ally, Britain.
