Ever-Growing Menace
Japans National Efficiency
MOST INDUSTRIOUS IN •THE WORLD United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright SYDNEY", June 23. Captain Humphreys Davis, of Auckland, who lias arrived in Sydney after a visit to tho East, described Japan as the most industrious and most efficient nation in tho world. There was not a port in Japan, he said, “that was not busier than Sydney, and her merchant licet is so large that she could transport an army of a million men at a moment's notice.” Within ten years, lie said, the menace might materialise. Japan was probably the most efficient nation in history. Everywhere were signs of the most intense industrial activity, and lie feared that Japan was an cver-increasing menace to Australia and New Zealand.
Captain H. Foakes, on his return from a tour of China and Japan, said: “Australia is in tho Pacific, and she cannot afford and will not bo allowed to avoid the responsibilities of such a position.’ ’ Ho expressed the greatest satisfaction at tho news that the Australian squadron was at last making back to its former status as a Dominion navy.
