JAPS FAVOR REALIZATION
Would Not Attempt Conquest of the
Philippines. Says Shuster.

for eight years an American official in
the Philippines, before becoming an
International figure in the financial af-
fairs of Persia. told the senate Philip
pines committee on Friday that he be-
lieved Japan would be glad to enter
into treaty with the United States to
neutralize the islands.
Shuster could not conceive of any
foreign power attempting the conquest
of the Philippines after the with
drawal of the United States. There
was an unwritten Monroe doctrine in
the far east maintained by Japan, he
said. which would make that nation
oppose the entry of any other power
into the Philippine group.
