The Daily Express, in a leader says: "We cannot write off Australia as America's business anv more than we write off the defeat of Hitler as Stalin's business. The urge to attack Hitler is burning in the people of Britain.
'We are not demanding a second front in Europe as a reprisal front. \\ e ask for it deliberately as a means of beating the Axis. A Japanese invasion of Australia would be the bitterest blow the Empire has vet had to take. The invasion of Australia is no longer a choice for the Japanese, it is a necessity. Thev must smash the Allied hammer in Australia before it is big enough to reach out and tise the East Indies as its anvil The Japanese war machine I 1 j ? Bto PPed and broken bv the Allied forces in Australia before it gets the chance to land."
