By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyrighi. (Received October 26, 10.20 a.m.)
LONDON, October 25.
The Australian Associated Press says it is believed that Germany has reiterated to Japan that she is not interested in the restoration of her Far Eastern colonies. This is considered to be applicable not only to the Caroline and Marshall Islands, but also Lo New Guinea and other territories which have been mandated lo Australia and New Zealand. This assurance will certainly hold while the German navy is on its present footing.
Japan's refusal to answer questions regarding the administration of her mandate is-believed to indicate that she has decided to retain the islands to which she recently extended her mobilisation contrary to the terms of the mandate. It is believed that Germany's first aim is "a place in the sun" in Africa, and doubtless machinery has been prepared for the reoccupation of substantial areas. An unofficial map of Germany's hopes' which was seen in London shows a swathe of Central Africa extending from Angola.
