Title translated into English: Conditions in Australia.

Synopsis of content: This work is a study of Australia published just prior to the outbreak of war between the two countries. The author sees Australia at a crossroads, with its traditional cultural, economic and defence links to England being eroded by the onset of the war in Europe. The author asserts that though Australia’s future is in the Pacific, it must choose between Japan and America as its strongest ally. The book is one volume in a series that covers other ‘Pacific’ nations, including Canada, Burma, India and Central and South America. The blurb to the series states that the main concern for the Japanese at this time is the establishment of the Greater East Asian Co-prosperity Sphere. Consequently, it is essential to conduct studies into various countries of the Pacific Rim, focusing on their geography, political system, social structures, military, people, culture and international relations.
