ENGLISH Nations Must
Hang Together i'm East
SAYS Lord NOrthcliffe

of the Far East and the immense ex-
pansion of japanese armament.
| ''That the Japanese military party is
hostile toward the United States might
be gathered from their many publica-
tions, which obviously are approved
| by the rulers of Japan. But just as
we took little notice of Bernhardi be-
fore the war, so Americans are not
worrying about such books as IF ia
pan and America Fight" by the famous
soldier, General Sato; or Shall Japan
and America Fight?' by Scramoto, or
n dozen other publications. These
works show lamentable ignorance of
the United States or her economic
powers, of her fleet and of her capacity
for raising armies.
Moreover, they even display ignor-
ance of the state of feeling through
out Australia. The masses of the
Australians detest the alliance as
heartily as the Canadians.
"These japanese write books which
represent the military party of Japan,
constantly twit the United States with
having no base in the Far East They
seem to regard Pearl harbor as the
nearest American sea station.
