AMBITIOUS AIMS
DECLARED BY JAPANESE SPOKESMAN ATTACK ON AUSTRALIA. AND LANDING IN NORTH AMERICA. (By Telegraph—Rress Association— Copyright) (Received This Day, 10.50 a.m.) NEW YORK, January 5. One of Japan’s aims in 1943 is to attack Australia and force an armistice. This was stated by a Japanese Army spokesman, Colonel Yahagi, in a newspaper article quoted by the Berlin radio. Colonel Yahagi outlines Japan's other aims as the overthrow of the Chungking Government, an attack on India, if it continued to be used as an Anglo-American base, and the removal of the threat to Japan’s position in the Pacific from such United States bases as Midway Island and Hawaii. He adds that it is possible that it will be necessary to land on the North American continent, since Alaska is being turned into a base against Japan.
