NOT AGGRESSIVE TOWARDS AUSTRALIA RETIRING CONSUL-GENERAL'S ASSURANCE Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright SYDNEY, May 23. (Received May 23, at 11 a.m.) Mr Torao Wakamatsu, retiring Japanese Consul-General, in a farewell message to the Australian people, said: “ I assert most emphatically that Japan has never been and never will be moved by any territorial ambition towards foreign, countries other than those which are hound up with her own national security and the protection of her legitimate political and economic interests. We have never dreamed of any such aggressive adventures on the continent of Australia.”
