WAR IN FAR EAST

MORE PUBLICITY IN BRITAIN

(Special P.A. Correspondent.)

LONDON, February 22. Tli ere has been a noticeable attempt to increase the British public's interest in the war in the Far East. At one period, with the war against Germany smashing up people's homes with a regularity that had nothing monotonous about it, it was perhaps inevitable that greater emphasis was placed on events in Europe. But recently, with increasing movements of men and arms to the Far East and the growing pace of events there, more care is being taken to educate the public here on the events and the implications of every move.

More newspapers have their own correspondents in that theatre now, more space is being devoted to their reports, and excellent films are also being made. The raids on Tokio especially have been reported at length, while there is added interest, following the Crimea Conference, as to what is likely to be Russia's attitude to the Japanese war once the Germans are defeated. \
