Japanese warships Watching.

Incidentally, it was reported unofi-

arrived off Corregidor Island, which is
at the mouth of Manila Bay.
The Presidents decision, Intern or
put to sea-" politely put, accords with
the best opinion Of naval experts and
international lawyers here, and is in
harmony with the policy of strict neu-
traiity maintained by this Government
since the war began.
Everything possible will be done for

be completed within the twenty-four-

will take sixty days to repair the

How many days must pass before a
naval refuge becomes a naval base?

Mr.. Takahira, the Japanese Minister,
formally asked the State Department
what this Government intended to do
about the Russian vessels.
Acting Secretary LOOMS replied that
they would be informed if they did not
leave Manila harbor forthwith.
| Clearly Mr.. Takahira wishes only to
establish a formal record. He said,
smilingly:
I'VE have every confidence that the
policy to be followed will be in strict
accord with the neutrality so carefully
maintained by the Washington Govern
ment."
1t was believed that the Japanese
Government would not object to the
paroling of Admiral Enquist and his
officers.
