YEARS OF WAR AHEAD
WARNING TO AUSTRALIANS
(By Telauraph—Press Association—copyright.) (Special Australian Correspondent.) SYDNEY, July 18. Australia has to be prepared for several years of war and for great struggles which lie ahead in the southwest Pacific as well as in other parts j of the world. This statement has been made by the Minister of the Army, Mr. F. M. Forde, who said that the Army in Australia might have to fight off an attempted invasion. It should not be imagined that the Japanese would be content merely to hoia the territories they had already conquered. Drives further south were likely. The Army in Australia was now the strongest ever assembled in the South' crn Hemisphere, but more fighters, bombers, tanks, guns, and ships were needed. Mr. Forde said that the position in Egypt was causing great concern and that the war was going against Russia.
