JAPAN'S TREACHERY

ATTACK ON DEMOCRACIES SEALED HER OWN DOOM (Rec. 7 p.m.) LONDON, Dec. 14. The Home Secretary, Mr Herbert Morrison, speaking at Wolverhampton, said that if anything had been needed to prove yet again that there was no room in the same world for peace States and war States, it was supplied by the manner of Japan's attack on two great English-speaking democracies'. " While such dark and treacherous deeds are possible, while powers exist in the world capable of doing them, it is perfectly plain that decent nations can never count upon freedom from some deadly unprovoked stab in the back. There is only one way to achieve safety from such brutal footpads and their devices, that is for the peaceful States to wipe them out and then stick together and police the world securely against any possibility of such similar bandits reappearing. Be the end distant or near, the Japanese have rung their own knell and sealed their own doom. When this business is over the great Eastern world will, breathe more freely than it has done for many years.
