PREPARED TO MEET ANY THREAT HONOLULU, September 27. (Received September 28, at 1 p.m.) Mr Paul Patterson, publisher of the ‘ Baltimore Sun,’ arrived in Honolulu after n tour of the Far East and tho Antipodes. He said he had found the Dutch East Indies fully prepared to meet any Japanese threat. He believed the Dutch air force would be more than a match for the Japanese. He added that the Dutch were building a great defence system throughout the islands. The United States should utilise Britain’s Pacific bases, particularly Singapore. Other members of the party revealed that the seas around the Indies are heavily mined and that vast military preparations were proceeding.
