NO EASY WAR
WARNING TO JAPANESE (Rec. 12.55 p.m.) London, *Oct. 5. A warning against the erroneous idea that a greater East Asia war would prove comparatively easy was given by the president of the Tokio University, Mr Kunihiko Okura, in a speech at Tokio. Contrary to expectations, he said, our enemies seem to be fighting back and regaining their footing. They are fighting with all their hearts. Therefore if the Japanese people do not face the situation with new, firm determination, they will be confronted with a terrible end. Japan has lost many brave loyal soldiers in the last five years. The people must not regard the war with an easy feeling that the enemy is just the Chinese army or that victory over the United Nations is a sure thing because they hear of victories day after day. China is not the old China. In addition America has really stood up and is fighting with the mobilisation of her own vast resources. —P.A.
