JAPANESE CHANGE TACTICS
NEW YORK, June 9.
Japanese submarines in smashing windows in Sydney and Newcastle are not contributing importantly to the conquest of Australia, but they give the people at home something to talk about, says the "New York Times" in an editorial . •. „ . . Ttoe newspaper adds: "We had a simka? propaganda shelling of our California^ coast and Tokio dressed up some tall talas concerning it. After the rough going of Yamamoto'B forces in the Coral Sea and Off Midway, the Japanese populace needs all the comfort it can get. However, there is an element of encouragement in the appearance of these submarines off Australia, Considered in conjunction with the apparent subsidence of enemy air assaults from the north, it appears that Japan may have abandoned hope of any quick conquest of Australia and decided Xq adopt the method of slow strangulation by blockade, This blockade may Improve, but at present it is more *» nuisance than a menace."
