The idea that the arrival of two Canadian battalions in the Far East could exercise an important deterrent effect upon Japan was up, in the event, as an egreg-' ious absurdity and one which! cost the Allied cause the loss of 2,000 soldiers:" The attack on Pearl Harbor set off an equally embittered episode within Canadian bor- ders.
