NORTHCL|FFE SAYS
JAPAN IS LIKE THE
PRE-WAR GERMANY
English Publisher Declares
Anglo American Friend
ship to Be Absolutely
Essential in Far East

Picking, November 17.-Lord
Northcliffe, the British publisher
now on a tour of the orient, in an
address before the Anglo-American
association here today declared:
eff the United States is ever men
aced in the far east, if at any time
her magnificent work in the Philip
pines is disturbed, is there any rea-
son why Singapore should not be
available for her fleets? Great Bri-
tain and America must hang to-
gether in the far east, or sometime
or other they may be hanged sep
arately"
Lord Northcliffe declared that
never in his history has Anglo
American friendship been more
necessary" He said America Can
ada and thousands of Australians
were much concerned over the pro-
lonGation of the Anglo-Japanes al
lance, which had benefited Japan
beyond her widest dreams. He con-
tinued:
Japan at present is in much the
same position as Germany before the
war. Nominally a democracy. she Is
absolutely governed by four men
whose Intentions might be judged by
examining the constantly changing
map OF the far east and the i'm
mense expansion Of Japanese arma-
ments.
That the Japanese military party
is hostile toward the United States
might be gathered from their many
publications, which obviously are APP
proved by the rulers of Japan. But
just as we took little notice of Bern
hardi before the war. so the Ameri-
cans are not worrying about such
books as If Japan and America
Fight. by the famous soldier, Gen
Sato 81, or Shall Japan and America
Fight by Seramoto. or a dozen other
such publications. These works
show a lamentable ignorance of the
United States, of her economic power
of her fleet and of her capacity oil
raising armies.
Moreover, they even display abb
solute ignorance of the state of feel
ing throughout Australia. The masses
of the Australians detest the ALI
ance as heartily as the Canadians
These Japanese war books, which ac-
curately represent the military party
Of Japan. contently twit the United
States with having no base in the
far east. They seem to regard Pear
harbor as the nearest important sea
station.
when the Americans came to our
assistance in 1917 there were GER
tain bases in southwestern ireland
to which we gladly invited them
added Lord Northcliffe, who contin-
ned with the suggestion of the avail
ability of Singapore. and concluded
with the Irish question settled
