WHY JAPAN DELAYS
IN ATTACKING SIBERIA WAR WITH BRITISH EMPIRE INVOLVED. OPINION OF AMERICAN JOURNALIST. (By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright) NEW YORK, October 29. One of the main reasons for delaying the Japanese attack on Vladivostok is not hesitancy regarding American intentions but the fact that such an attack would automatically involve war with the whole British Empire, writes Mr Hallett Abend, the “New York Times” correspondent, from Honolulu. s He added that leading Government ’tf ■ personalities in Australia and New ; Zealand declared unhesitatingly that they would consider their Dominions at war with Japan if the latter attacked the Soviet. This attitude, he pointed out, would vitally affect American politics in the Far East, for while there might be American reluctance to get into the fray solely to support the Soviet there would be no hesitancy in going to the aid of the outposts of democracy in the Far East if they were involved in war with Japan.
