Australia Will Fight to a Finish
MELBOURNE, Jan. 26. 11 Australia will seek no quarter from Japan and, alone or with the help of others, will fight to a finish,” said the Deputy-Prime Minister (Mr. Forde) to-day. Australia would try to face the test in a way which would leave it without regrets, whatever the outcome, he added. Its objective would be to outlast whatever the enemy could do. “It may happen,” he said, “that the Japanese will secure a temporary foothold on the Australian mainland. Everyone inside and outside Australia should realise that this is not impossible. Should it happen, it would not be a mortal blow at Australia, though the consequences would be serious. We shall make the Japanese pay bitterly, whatever they attempt.**
