WARNING TO JAPAN
LONDON, Oct. 5
A warning against the erroneous idea that the Greater East Asia war would prove comparatively easy was given by the president of the Tokio University (Mr Kunihiko Okura) in a speech in Tokio. ’“Contrary to expectations,” he said, “our enemies seem to be fighting back and regaining their footing. They are fighting with all their hearts. Therefore, if the Japanese people do not face the situation with new and firm determination they will he confronted with a terrible end. Japan lias lost many brave and loval soldiers in the last five years. The people must not regard the war with an easy feeling that the enemy is just the Chinese army or. that victory over the United Nations is a sure thing because they hear of victories day after day. China is not the old China. In addition, America has really stood up and is fighting with tire mobilisation of her own vast resources.”
