JAPAN’S AMBITIONS
NO THOUGHT OF ATTACK ON AUSTRALIA. ACCORDING TO RETIRING CONSUL-GENERAL. By Telegraph—Press association—Copyright (Received This Day, 10.55 a.m.) SYDNEY, This Day, Mr Torao Wakamatsu, the retiring Japanese Consul-General, in a farewell message to the Australian people, said: “I assert most emphatically that Japan never has been and never will be moved by any territorial ambition towards foreign countries other than that which is bound up with her own national security and the protection of her legitimate political and economic interests. We have never dreamed of any such aggressive adventures on the continent of Australia.”
