JAPAN'S GAME ONE

OF BLUFF

Japan's southward expansion programme is a, og game of bluff; Japan will, wherever possible, annex territories by the " taetics of this game but she will not fight. This was the opinion expressed by Dr. John S. Young, globe-trotting correspondem of the National Breadcasting Company, who has arrived in Singapore, says the Malaya Tribune.

Dr. Young said there was no doubt that Germany was putting pressure on Japan asking her to adhere to the Tripartite Pact, and that Japan was Dow taking the line of least resistance. Japan, he said, would push up to the last, possible line but would not do anything to precipitate a war with any of the democratic coun- triek

If either Britain or America would only state definitely that Japan's next expansion

move

would mean fighting with either or both these de- mocratio countries, Japan's programme of southward ex- pansion would immediately end.

"It is a matter of great import- ance that Australia's voice is heard in the place where for decisions are inevitably made.

"I have nothing to say at this stage about the merits of the Do- minions' representation in the Bri- tish War Cabinet-that problem is yet unsolved. The merits of such a representation normally will be discussed at an Imperial Confer- ence if such a conference is prac ticable,"

Mr. Menzies paid tribute to the Russian resistance, but warned against making timates regarding the Russo- German fighting, saying: "We must use the Russian breath- ing space to the best advan- tage.
