RAIDS ON INDIA
MAY BE ATTEMPTED BY JAPANESE.
GENERAL AUCHINLECK’S WARNING. (By Telegraph—‘Press Association —Copyright) LONDON, December 13. The Commander-in-Chief in India, General Auchinleck, in a broadcast warned India that the Japanese “may try to cross the frontiers of India or even land small parties from the sea in an attempt to spread alarm and confusion,” says a correspondent of “The Times.”
General Auchihleck added that the Japanese would be made to pay heavily for such attempts, by which they could hope only to interfere with the country’s war effort, thereby delaying the Allied offensive. He considered that the time was past when the Japanese could consider a serious sea or air invasion of India.
The correspondent says that the purpose of the statement is clearly to prepare opinion for any move the enemy may make in the coming weeks while the operations of the South-East Asia command are still in the planning stage.
