“JAPS WANT WAR!”

COVETS AUSTRALIA AND NEW ZEALAND. WILL COME SOONER THAN ; EXPECTED. PROFESSOR SPEAKS FROM INSIDE KNOWLEDGE (U.P.A. by Elec. Tel. Copyright) (Received Oct. 13, 7 p.m.) LONDON, Oct. 12. Japan wants war. She covets Australia. Her idea is first Manchukuo next China, India and Australia, including New Zealand and then Russia. It will come sooner than expected. Thus states Professor Taid O’Conory, formerly of Keio University in his hook, “The Menace of Japan.” Professor Oconory, who served in the British Army, spent many years in Japan and married into an aristocratic Japanese family. He described Japanese men as ruthless, lustful and treacherous, and adds:

“They are slowly carrying on their plans, first to subjugate the East unless the Powers step in. Japan is working at top speed towards war and will soon march on to China.”

(Received Oct. 13, 7 p.m.) SINGAPORE, Oct. 12.

“Talk of that kind can only be characterised as nonsense,” declared Captain Euan Wallace, Civil Lord of the Admiralty, interviewed at Singapore concerning a recent article by Rear-Admiral l'nji in a Japanese newspaper, alleging that the Singapore base was merely preparation for war with Japan. The completion of the work, he said, is an obligation of honor to the units of the Empire, which contributed large sums of money to its construction. Captain Wallace will to-morrow inspect the base, which is making excellent progress, and should be completed well within contract time.
