I WASHINGTON, d. G.. Aug. 49,
Japan's determination to localize her

tending them to the wide range OF
Germany's extensive possessions
throughout the Pacific gives distinct
relief to officials here as narrowing

prehension in military quarters that

pan in the prosecution Of war seek
to take over Gcrmany's long chain OF

1t is now known from authoritative
japanese quarters here that Japan's
purposes are directed against kaio
Chow and have no present purpose 10
extend eastward into the Pacific.
The American government has
made no announcement as yet to this
limit of the area of conflict In the faI
cast but among military diplomatic
and other observers II Is felt to be
most important that the general
range of the Pacific is not to be
brought within the range OF Japan's
proposed action.
