STARTLING ALLEGATIONS PROFESSOR O’CONORY’S BOOK PROGRAMME OF CONQUEST SLOWLY CARRYING ON PLANS (By Telegraph—Tress ‘.sscciation—Copyright) Received Oct. 13, 9.10 P- m - LONDON, Oct. 12. " Japan wants war. She covets Australia, and her idea is first Mauchukuo, next China, India, and Australia, including New Zealand, and then Russia. It will come sooner than is expected,” said Professor Taid O’Conory, formerly of Kcio University, in his book, “Menace of Japan.” Professor O’Conory, who served in the British Army, spent many years in Japan, and married into an aristocratic Japanese family? He describes Japanese men as ruthless, lustful and treacherous, and adds: ‘ ‘ They slowly carry on their plans first to subjugate’ the” East unless the Powers step in. Japan is working at rt>p speed towards war, and will soon march on China.” SINGAPORE BASE A JAPANESE OPINION. CAPTAIN WALLACE REPLIES. Received Oct. 13. 11-5 p-m. SINGAPORE, Oct. 12. “Talk of that kind can only be characterised as nonsense,’’ declared Captain Euan Wallace, Civil Lord of the Admirality, interviewed at Singapore concerning a recent article by RearAdmiral Inji in a Japanese newspaper, alleging that the Singapore base was merely a preparation for war with Japan. "The completion of the work is an obligation of honour to the units of the Empire which have contributed large sums of money to its construction.” Captain Wallace to-morrow will inspect the base, which is making excellent progress and which will be completed well within the contract time.
