AUSTRALIA WILL REMAIN FIRM ON JAPANESE STAND All Pressure for Withdrawal of Objections to Alliance Will Be Resisted, Declares, the Premier, By C. FY BertcIII (Copyright 1920. by Vntvenaj 8erTfce.) London, July 17. Denunciation of " Japan's policy in the Pacific and an expression of . Australia's determina tion to resist pressure, to withdraw her objections to the Angl-Japanese alliance, are furnished In an author ized statement by E. i.'; Theodore, premier of Queensland, The state- ; ment was given by Pieniier Theo dore to Colonel Arthur JLynch, Jour nalist andrcampalgner.irepresentins : Universal Service. Mir. .! Theodore said:. ,. .: -:v'... : .' ' : qcf.stiojt is vital , V "Those who are not : Australians or never lived in our country find it dif ficult to comprehend how Vital to us Is the Japanese question.: j "Once 'we have opened the door evT so little to a Japanese j invasion, we could not close it again. If the Japanese gained entrance they woald i soOn begin to send in great numbers jof traders, organizers and workmen. 'In the in dustrial world they are the most formidable competitors imaginable. Thy are active, hard . working and content with litUe. - They could work for one third of the wages Australian workm-n get and thus oust the fatter: from their own business. . j '-!-; "Then it ' must be remembered that every Japanese Is a soldier and that discipline and obedience in their army are at the highest point.'! 4 "Their Ideas are not parallel to ours. They have suddenly emerged from the age of feudalism to the forefront of modern civilization, but tlhey j retain many Ideas and superstitions of the middle ages."";.'" .':); ;..!; PACIFIC COTTTROL.AI.' f ; "Upon one point, however, their minds are all directed. " j "They mean to nave control of the Pacific, and it is probable that the n-xt great war will be fought for the mastery of that ocean. j ; , "If they begin to enter j Australia they would claim citizenship rights, and in that case we could not i refuse. Thy would not, however, settle down as Australian citizens. Their ' eyes would be ever on Japan. : ; : i "Soon they would have ia million men. Meantime they would control the. policy of local areas, and in the end! control the policy of . Australia.' jj "But the question is closed so far as we are concerned. Great pressure has been brought to bear ion me by Kngland and also recently by France, to reconsider my views. ! It- has .besn pointed out that the Japanese were our allies in thje war, that France and Eng land are open to them, that the question must be regarded as closed because the Japanese are agitating i! strorigly md with powerful measures.!! and that the League of .Nations must tike up the question. To this I reply: j "The Japanese did not scome into the war In any self sacrificing way to help their dear ally, Kngland. They came In impelled by their own interest, watched their own interests 'at every phase of the campaign and they emerged from the war with smaller loss'than any of the great powers, and i with their position in the world enormoHely strengthened.

"We would have given . -them the freedom of Australia, also, it we were sure that they would never -come there.- "We are not here selfishly holding out for advantage. We are fighting for our lives. If the Japanese come, then Australia as we know it will be doomed. "But they will not come. We would Federal: Electric Railway Members To Convene July 22 Mayor George L.

SECOND ! OF YACHT RACES NO CONTEST I r (Continued From One) "J" was run up "on the committee boat announcing the 'contest was off. The Shamrock , had Just rounded tne mars It -was a Jong weary day of nautical vicissitudes. Scheduled to start at noon. the race was postponed until 1 :45 p. p. until the wind, which had varied all around the compass and then dropped, made sailing possible. ; LIKE A PAI3STKD SHIP Throughout the day, the wind puffed and dropped and In the late afternoon It ceased to be and the contenders sat idly on the water. Resorute's only real sprint was when, rounding the first mark, she picked up a breeie and sped off towards the second mark.. , One mile before the defender turned. Shamrock was 1Q0 yards under her lee. Resolute caught the .wind on the tuva. rounded the mark and was off. Sham rock was caught ' In a" calm and tajked and tacked and tacked for 40 minutes before she rounded the buoy. Five miles from the second mark, aft er a swift reach, Resolute ran into a calm. Shamrock, ' with a wisp of a breese. cut down the lead to two miles, when her sails went dead. From that time on it was merely a question of watchful waiting for the signal "J." At 1 :46:28 the Resolute crossed the line, less than lhi minutes after, the starting signal went up. Nine seconds after her, the green challenger cleared the line. f . . - YANKEE CREW CLEVEREST Resolute had used to good advantage the seconds allowed her in maneuver ing. Captain Burton had tried several times to blanket the defender, but Cap tain Adams always escaped by bearing away. Clever ; work at the helm put her to the windward of the challenger and she footed forward with the advantage. The moment Shamrock felt the breese, however, she got Into a stride which soon put her ahead of the Resolute, but so far on the leeward, on the starboard tack, that the challenger still held the advantage. However, . It was as the yachts approached the first mark that the American crew displayed the clever est seamanship. Both yachts went about on a port tack and then split tacks twice in search of breath' of wind. The Resolute caught the breese,; rounded the mark and sauntered away, leaving her rival becalmed.. The yachts will meet again Tuesday for another triangular course race. TAMPICO STRIKERS AND TROOPS CLASH Threats to Burn Oil Tanks and Warehouses Bring I U. S. Gunboats !o: Scene, i .Vera :.
