Japanese May Try Adventure In India
LONDON, December 14. Broadcasting, the Commander-in-Chief, India (General Auchinleck) warned India that the Japanese may try to cross the Indian frontiers or even land small parties from the sea in an attempt to spread alarm and confusion, sa.ys the London “Times” correspondent at headquarters, India. General Auchinleck added that the Japanese would be made to pay heavily for such attempts, whereby they could hope only to interfere with the country’s war effort, thereby delaying an Allied offensive. He considered the time was past when the Japanese could consider a serious sea or air invasion of India. The correspondent says the purpose of General Auchinleck's statement is clearly to prepare opinion for any move the enemy may make in the coming weeks while operations of the South-East Asia Company are still in the planning stage.
