HONGKONG TELEGRAPH
March 2, 1939.
The stories published on this pago came from the capitals of Europe and America this morning. They all deal with one subject—the preparations made for WAR. One, from Rome, tells of Il Duce's demand for "more and more intensive military preparations." From Berlin: "We must produco aeroplanes in quantity and quality that seems unimaginable”, says From Gooring. From Washington: "Wo will soon be pouring out acroplanes like concrete." Tokyo come the details of Japan's enormous Extraordinary Military Budget. All those thousands of words include only one message ploading for peace-a ploa by the Marquis of
Zetland.
