EAST ASIA HEGEMONY
(Rec. 1.10 p.m.) NEW.YORK, Aug. G The Toluo radio reports that Admiral Nomura, Ambassador to Washington at the time of Pearl Harbour, characterised tho Allied ultimatum to Japan as the height of impertinence. He said the American navy had long and ambitiously dreamed of an East Asia hegemony.. Although non-plussed by their own irreplaceable, bloody losses on Iwo Jima and Okinawa, the Americans nevertheless persisted in under-estimating Japanese strength and refused to withdraw. According to tho Domci News Agency women and children comprise 80 per cent, of tho victims of the Super-Fortress raids on secondary cities. The raids aim to massacre as many innocent civilians as possible. The Associated . Press says the agency did not mention the warning leaflets. The Tokio radio announced the death of Admiral Seiichi Ito while leading surface special attack forces at Okinawa in April.
