UTTERLY WRONG
BELIEF THAT PACIFIC WAR HAS ENDED WITH CORAL SEA & MIDWAY BATTLES. DR EVATT ON. GREAT TASK TO BE FACED. (By Telegraph—Press Association —Copyright) (Received This Day, 12.30 p.m.) SYDNEY, This Day. Utterly wrong and foolish was the belief that the Coral Sea and Midway Island battles were the end of the Pacific war, said the Minister of External Affairs, Dr H. V. Evatt. “There is a very real danger,” he added, “in the public acceptance of this belief. Japan still has great strength and at present is in undisputed possession of vast areas of one of the greatest economic empires the world has ever seen. She has unlimited quantities of petroleum, rubber, iron ore and other war materials. She holds prisoners of war, amounting in the aggregate to a vast army. No one can rest satisfied until the mad ambitions of the Japanese aggressors have been destroyed and our kinsfolk released from captivity.”
