4, 156 p. : ill., maps ; 18 cm. Summary: Contains information on natural features and products of Australia, development and inhabitants, administration and military preparadness. Title translated into English: Australia. Synopsis of content: This work is a wartime study of Australia. It covers geography, history, economy, industry, as well as examining the military preparedness of Australia. The author notes that it was not the intention of Japan to embroil Australia within the war, but that it was an unavoidable result of the geographical, political, and economic relations of Australia with Asia, Europe and America. However, the author finishes with a grim warning-'those without power are replaced by those with power. This is how the progress of humanity has developed. I sincerely hope that Australians wake up to this basic truth. It they do not, they will not be able to avoid the same fate as the original inhabitants'.
