BASE AGAINST JAPAN
CREATION IN PHILIPPINES
Rec. 12.15 p.m. MANILA, July .24. The Philippines are rapidly being converted into a mighty jumping-off place for the invasion of Japan, said Lieut.-General Styer, in an interview. Millions of tons of supplies are pouring into Manila. The rear bases in Australia and New Guinea would be rolled up rapidly, the remaining troops and supplies moving to the Philippines. Batavia radio announced that Japan is making hasty preparations at Singapore and on the China coast'to repel an invasion, which is believed to be not far off. , , Tokio radio reported that the speedy construction of defences would prevent easy landings, while the Japanese troops on the China coast presented a flank danger to an enemy attempting to land on the Japanese homeland. Tokio radio also said that Japan's totalitarian party would meet .tomorrow to hear a report by Dr. Shimomura on "the latest state of his Majesty's health." Foreign Minister Togo would give a detailed explanation of the international situation, and Captain Jurihara, Vice Chief of the Press Section, would discuss the actual war position. The radio added that a vigorous exchange of opinion would take place, after which the president, General Minami, would lead the members in shouting "Banzai."
