TERROR TACTICS
ATTACK ON AUSTRALIAN TRAWLER ENEMY PURPOSE WILL NOT BE ACHIEVED. declaration at funeral OF VICTIMS. (Special Australian Correspondent.) (Received This Day, 12.55 p.m.) SYDNEY, This Day. “The shells which laid these men low were not merely fired at them, but were aimed at us and all the people on the east coast of Australia,” the clergyman at the funeral service of the men killed when a Japanese submarine shelled an unarmed fishing trawler said. “The object of these pirates is to frighten the men who man our fishing boats so that they will not put to sea, and so to deprive us of food supplies; also, to try to create a panic among our people on shore. I am confident that the enemy action will have an opposite result. I am sime that people here will be stiffened in their determination to eradicate such evils from the earth.” It is now stated that the submarine was more than 200 feet long. It approached within fifty feet of the shelled trawler.
