JAPANESE • ENTRY INTO WAR PEARL HARBOUR REHEARSED (Rec. 11 p.m.) TOKIO, Oct. 21. The associate prosecutor, the New Zealander, Mr R. H. Quiiliam, told the War Crimes Tribunal that Japan rehearsed the naval attack against Pearl Harbour in August, 1941, and issued final secret orders for war against Britain ■ and America on November 10, 1941, nearly a month before the sneak attack. Dir Quilliam’s statement indicated that Japan’s protracted diplomatic negotiations with the United States were a deliberate blind from the start. Mr Quiiliam said that evidence to be presented would show that the Japanese aerially surveyed the northwest Malayan coast at the exact spot at which the invasion forces landed on December 8, 1941. The Japanese Government as early as January, 1941, directed the printing of military currency for defraying the expenditures of the Japanese forces in the Netherlands East Indies, Malaya.
