OPPOSE PHILIPPINE FORTS
Japanese Said to Fear "Misunder
standing" If u. s. Acts.

Washington, Feb. 21.-Viscount
Ishii, the new Japanese ambassador
to the United States will take up with
America the question of fortifying the
Philippine islands.
Japan, it was asserted, is willing to
agree not to fortify Formosa, If the
United States will forgo fortifying the
Philippines. Japanese statesmen are
said to hold the view that the pres.
ence of heavy ornaments In the Phil.
ippines would contribute to misun.
derstanding and feel that the fortified
Philippines ''is gun pointed at
Japan's head"
There has been grave doubt as to
the ability of the United States to
defend the Philippines with the pres
ent coast fortifications.

representative has served for Rumania,
