NEW MONROE
 DOaRIN AN
SENATOR'S PROPOSE RESTRIC- TION WHICH WOULD AFFECT
 JAPANESE.

Washington, July 31.-Although all fear of Japanese aggression at Mag dalena Bay is past, subcommittee of the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations has decided to take steps against the occupation of any impor- tant harbor in the Western hemisphere by any persons who might in the end turn it over to a foreign power.
 \ resolution, which has been con sidered by Senators Lodge, Root, Hitchcock, and Rayner, will be report ed to a full committee on Thursday, recommending an extension of the Monroe Doctrine which would make impossible such incidents as the re- cent furore over alleged Japanese de- signs.
 MT. Lodge, who was seriously alarmed by the reports that Japan s9qsA rsto gal1a hold on Magdalena 10 take up the matter. Today's ac- tion by the subcommittee is. the re- suit.
 MT. Lodge was of the opinion then and still believes that the fishing con sessions granted to a Japanese syn dicate on the coast north and south Of Magdalena Bay and extending in- land for fifteen miles was not alto gether designed for catching fish. His idea was that the syndicate would be 0SCu dE SNAcOH, OSlInu "l1lCu Oii the desert coast concealed batteries could be erected and the harbor put in a condition of defense. Then when the time came that Japan should de- eide to go to war with the United States the innocent looking colonists at the bay would simply don their uni forms, man their guns, and run up the flag of the rising sun
 The military. authorities agree that Magdalena Bay, if fortified would be Of tremendous military importance to Japan as a base of operations against our Pacific Coast
 MT Lodge favors resolution on the subject which shall be unmistak- able in its reference to the Magdalena Bay incident Senator Root urges more diplomatic language, which will cover all such concessions and be not so pointed as to affront Japan. MT. Hitchcock also favors the less definite language.
 It Is thought likely that a carefully phrased resolution will be presented by the full committee to the Senate, where it will be adopted with practi- cally no opposition.
