 So. AMERICA

WASHINGTON, May 29 (by Asso- ciated Press).-That peace will be
 largely strengthened on the western hemisphere by an extensive inter. change of thought among the peoples of the various countries was the bur- den of statement by Acting Secre- tary of State Frank IL. Polk today in urging that the newspapers of the United States devote more attention to the news of the Latin American countries. MT. Polk said he hoped the American newspapers would take this means of educating the people of the United States to better understand and appreciation the importance and greatness of our neighbors of South and Central America and pointed out that by lending their aid to the f1,rth. erance of this education the news papers would be fulfilling a public duty to the government.
 "The more we know of the other countries of North and South Amer ica," said MT. Polk today, "the less likelihood there is of misundrestand- ings. The nations of the world are becoming more and more interdepend- ent daily with the increased efficiency of transportation and communication facilities. Exchange of news results inevitably in better relations and fuller comprehension of the efforts that are being made by the different countries to solve the problems of civilization. Improved commercial re- lations are accompanied by better cul- tural relations.
 "One result of the European war has been to show the United States how completely our interests lie in this hemisphere. With peace restored our interest in European affairs will be more theoretical than real but we have and must have closer relations with our nieghbors in Central and South America. The people of Latin America are intensely interested in the United States. The newspapers of Central and South America print a great deal of news about this country. It would be of incalculable benefit if the newspapers of the United States would pay more attention to news re- garaing Latin America and in very short time these newspapers could educate the public to seek further information and more news about our neighbors to the south"

SUGGESTS LAPS
 BUY FILIPINES
 FROM AMERICA

TOXIC, (P) The suggestion that Japan purchase the Philippine islands from the United States and the Dutch l East Indies from Holland as a means
 of solving the problem of Japan's lever growing population is made by Ia writer in the Herald of Asia, a tCunserlatiye Japanese weekly journ- |al The writer contends Japan Is bound to expand territorially as she lis expanding in population. Pointing out that the population has more than doubled in the last fifty years, being now over 57.00O,0OO, he esti- mates that al the same rate of in. crease the population will in another fifty years have reached ll4,OOO.OOO 1t ia not too much to hope he argues, that some day justice and destiny will decide that all the islands on this side of the Pacific, north Of the equator, will come under the jurisdiction of Japan" He asks the question, whether America in .lrnds to keep out Japanese emigrants and still hold the Philippines perma- uently If not. why should she not some day sell them to Japan He adds. Having closed her own doors to the Japanese, this would be a gra- ciOus act on her part and would
 be but naturally expected from country boastine of so much philan- thropy and Christian altruism"
 As tor the Dutch East Indies the article contends the inhabitants are more akin to the Japanese than to
 the islands with greater benefit on the whole to the people and to her self than could Holland which, more over is small country untroubled with surplus population
 It is poined out also that the Dutch
 East Indies form the southern line of Japans defences and that more than once the independence of these islands has made them a menace to her saftey.
 After Irmarking that JehtneSsp aa
 After rtmdrkins that the Japanese do not like to settle in cold climates like HOkhaldo or Siberia, the writer concludes. Certainly 1t would be better to let Japan to have them than
 to let them pass into other hands, d contingency that Japan could not con
 template. There was no surprise when America purchased the Danish West Indies. There should be no surprise if Japan should purchase the Dutch East Indies Were Japan once in command of the Sunda straits she could slaken her naval program and feel at ease both as to defenCes and population for all time to come.
