IF WAR CAME
FIRST ROUND TO JAPAN, AUSTRALIA’S POSITION. (Son Special.) LONDON, June 16. “John Albion,” in an article in the Sunday Pictorial, based on his knowledge of Japan, declared that, owing to the wounds to Japan’s racial pride, due to the migration legislation, a Japanese-American con: flict is almost inevitable. Japan, he says, would win the first round by seizing the Philippines, Guam Island, which is the key to the Western Pacific, aud Hawaii, thereby securing domination of the Far East and China. They might then attempt to colonise the Australian northern territories with Chinese, though it is more likely that America would finally triumph in a war lasting for years, before the Japanese movement to Australia was possible.
