Commenting on the fact that the British Array in South Africa suffered eleven times more severely from disease than did the Japanese in Manchuria, Major Clark, R.A. M.C.C., said in the course of a lecture at Sydney recently:—“At this rate a Japanese army would defeat a British army of equal strength merely by sitting down in front of it, and waiting for disease to do the rest.” He was one of those, he went on, who believed that a day would come when a Japanese army would be seen in Australia, and imagining for a moment an Australian force numerous enough to lace the enemy with a fair chance of success, it was to be hoped the local troops would not melt away in this fashion. It was not sufficient answer to say they were in their country, and had, therefore a better chance of health. A recent statement made by an eminent authority was to the fact that it England were invaded and the territorial army were called out to meet the invaders it would have two thousand sick at the end of the first 24 hours.
