Description from source: 108 p.; 19 cm.

This work was published by the head of the Dōmei Newsagency's Sydney branch. Australia is portrayed as underpopulated, underdeveloped, desperate to keep out the ‘coloured man’, and a country that has locked itself into believing the ‘crazy idea’ that Japan is bent on a southward advance. The work is critical of the Australian people’s childish attitudes concerning Japan. It concedes that Japan’s knowledge of Australia is ‘insufficient’.
