Are After War

"WILL COME SOONER THAN EXPECTED”

United Press Association. —By Electric Telegraph—Copyright. Received Friday, 7 p.m. LONDON, Oct. 12. "Japan wants war. She covets Australia. Her idea is first Manchukuo and next China, Australia and New Zealand, and then Russia. It, will come sooner than is expected,” says Professor Taid O’Couory, formerly of Keio University, in his book, ‘‘The Menace of Japan.” Professor O’Conory, who served in the British Army, spent many years in Japan, and married into an aristocratic Japanese family. He describes the Japanese men as ruthless, lustful and treacherous, and adds that they slowly carry on their plans to subjugate tho East. Unless the Powers step in, Japan, working at top speed towards war, will soon march on China. Britain Can Go No Further in Disarmament SECURITY OF THE EMPIRE A BULWARK OF PEACE Received Friday, 7 p.m. LONDON, Oct. 13. Mr Stanley Baldwin, in a broadcast, said: ‘‘We bavc cut down our armaments to the utmost limits compatible with national security. We can go no further on the road of one-sided disarmament because the security of the Empire is one of the great bulwarks of world peace to-day.’’ Singapore Base Construction JAPANESE ALLEGATION DESCRIBED AS NONSENSE Received Friday, 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, when interviewed . at Singapore concerning a recent article by Rear-Admiral Inji in a Japanese newspaper, alleging that the Singapore baso was merely a preparation for war with Japan. “Completion of the work is an obligation of honour to theuuits of the Empire which contributed large sums of money to its construction.” _ Captain Wallace to-morrow will inspect the base, work on which is making excellent progress and will be completed well within the contract time. Accept or Reject DISARMAMENT DECISION ON MONDAY. GENEVA, October 12. A solution of the disarmament deadlock is doubtful, even on Monday, when it is understood the English, French and Americans will present the resolution originally intended for discussion on Saturday and founded m tho Paris conversations. This reaffirmed the principle of general disarmament, control of armaments and no rearmament. It would crystallise the situation because Germany must either accept or reject it, but Mr Davis urged the advisability of securing Germany’s signature before presentation. It was therefore handed to M. Nordolny, who may fly to Berlin for instructions. It is feared these will be in the negative.
