Japan’s National Efficiency
MOST INDUSTRIOUS IN THE WORLD Captain Humphreys Davis, of Auckland, who has arrived, in Sydney after a visit to, the East, described Japan as the. most industrious and most ef- . ficient nation in the world. There was not a port in Japan, he said, ‘‘that was not busier than Sydney, and her . mofchant fleet is so large that she • could transport an army of a million men eh a moment's notice." Within rten years, he said, the menace might . materialise. Japan was probably the most efficient nation in history. Everywhere were signs of the most intense industrial activity, and he feared that . Japan was an ever-increasing menace to Australia and New Zealand. Captain H, Feakes, on his return ■.from a tour of China and Japan, said: “Australia is in the Pacific, and she ■ cannot afford and *will not be allowed to avoid the responsibilities of such a position.’' He expressed the greatest satisfaction at the news that tie Australian squadron was at ’last making back to its former status as a Dominion navy.
