Ofhcial acknowledgement that
the war has been brought to ia
pans own doorstep came as the
victory-flushed Nipponese boosted
of the possibility of outright con-
quest of the United States.
THE contention that the United
States cannot be invaded is as
much a myth as that the Maginot
line could not be taken, or that
Singapore and Pearl Harbor are
impregnable," said the govern
ment controlled Japan Times and
Advertiser.
Driven out
On the Maylayan lighting front,
a Tokyo communique asserted that
Japanese troops had driven the
British out OF defense lines at
Trolka, on the north-south Singa-
pore railroad 50 miles north Of
Kuala Lumpur, 240 miles above
Singapore, where the British had
taken a new stand.
Front-line dispatches to Domei,
the official Japanese newspaper,
declared that the Japanese army
was even closer to Kuala Lumpur,
crude rubber capital OF the world,
with the British in general retreat.
Domei said the British were hash
ly destroying bridges and roads and
that troops in southern sectors of
Selangor state were joining Ia
the retreat toward the state OF
Negri Sembilan, south of Kuala
Lumpur.
