11 It may be a coincidence that Japanese raiders have appeared simultaneously at Dutch Harbour and the Sydney coast, but the stronger likelihood is that these premage more formidable naval operations by the enemy against the American tentacles SMH SMH But it is frankly puzzling that the first shellings in history of our coastal cities should have been of so aimless, indiscriminate, and cowardly a nature They achieved no apparent military purpose SMH 87 What sort of people do they think we are? Mr. Churchill once asked witheringly of the German efforts to bomb Britain into subjection. What sort of people do the Japanese think we are? If they suppose that our resolution will be weakened instead of stiffened by a brief, blind firing on our towns SMH SMH 37 PLANES SEARCH FOR MOTHER SHIP 1942, June 2.

12 77 29 SMH Any lingering pular belief in southern Australia that it cannot happen here I noticed that Mr. William Williams, of Glen Inned, had expressed the opinion that the affair would wake the good people of Sydney up and make them realise that there was a war on. 1William Williams Japanese midget submarines disposed of the last vestige of complacency that may still have lingered in sluggish minds SMH9SMH Meanwhile, we can thank the enemy submarines for having enforced a lesson in raid precautions at negligible cost it was the very warning needed A SUBMARINE RAID ON SYDNEY 1942, June 2.

14 7 SMH69 9 it was considered that these men should have in death similar treatment to that which relatives and colleagues of Australians who died in enemy-occupied territory would expect to be accorded to brave men who died in the course of their duty One of the traditions of war is that each side in the conflict usually accords respectful burial to the enemy s dead, and when circumstances permit, conducts the obsequies with Service honors the breaking of a civilized practice common to most belligerents. 162 The honor done is to the profession of arms SMH The dead Japanese seamen recovered from the submarines displayed heroism reflecting nothing but credit upon them I think that most naval men, whilst mourning their comrades, will at the same time readily pay tribute to the gallantry of their enemy SMH SMH CREMATION OF JAPANESE 1942, June 9.
