ENEMY’S TACTICS
APPROACH UNDER FALSE COLOURS SUPPLY SHIP NOT FAR AWAY. BASE APPARENTLY ON PACIFIC ISLAND. (By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright) (Received This Day. 9 a.m.) SYDNEY. This Day. The Minister of Navy, Mr. Hughes, supplementing Mr. Menzies's announcement regarding the attack on Nauru emphasised that is was typical of the enemy raider that she never approached British merchant shipping under her own colours, but always under the colours of a neutral or friendly power. It was also apparent that her supply ship was not very far away and it could further be presumed that the raider was getting her supplies from one of the many isles of the Pacific, whose watchful eye was “conveniently turned the other way.”
