Japanese to Proclaim
Own Monroe Doctrine

TOXIC. June 26 (P.-The news
paper Asahi said today that Japan
soon would proclaim an "Asiatic
Monroe Doctrine" to prevent the Far
Eastern possessions of European ma
tions from falling to Germany or
Italy as spoils of war.
Japan, said Asahi, will issue a
sweeping pronouncement warning all
powers against interference of any
kind in all territories of East Asia,
the dictum applying to Germany
and italy as well as to Great Britain
and neutral nations.
The declaration would oppose the
transfer of territories and any
change in their present status, either
through cession or by force. Japan,
said Asahi, now is prepared to estab-
llsh a guarantee of the autonomy
of East Asia.
The present government is not
inclined to link Japan's course either
with the Rome Berlin axis, with
Britain or with the United States.
The cabinet simply is aiming to
establish Japan definitely as the
dominant factor in East Asia, con-
solidating her political and eco
nomic position, semi Official sources
said.
A powerful group which last
year advocated Japan's participa-
tion in the Italian military
alliance now is renewing this cam
paign on the basis of Germany's
victories in the European war. These
elements are clamoring for Japan S
outright alignment with the axis
powers, a step considered impossible
as long as Premier Admiral Nit
sumasa Yonai and Foreign Minister
Hachiro Arita are in Office.
Should advocates of cooperation
with Italy and Germany succeed in
ousting Premier Yonai, it was be-
lieved certain that the new govern
ment would openly align itself with
the axis powers and possibly with
Russia as silent partner.
In any case. it was pointed out,
the proposed "Asiatic Monroe Doc
trine" is designed to establish
Japan's sphere of influence and
priority in advance of changes in
colonial ownership, which are be-
lieved imminent.

for use in their preventive eff
forts.
Safety Training School
AT the University of Tennessee
in Knoxville, August 1924, Mr..
Johnson will direct a course in
traffic accident reports and forms
as part of the annual two-week
National Institute for Traffic
Safety Training, which begins
August u.
The course will cover all fun
damentals of good traffic acct
dent record systems for states
and cities, with special attention
to development of summaries,
files and records of specific value
to traffic engineers, enforcement
officers and educators.
The number of requests to the
National Safety Council for rul-
ings on bOrderline cases, such as
those above is growing. They
do not indicate a superficial ap-
prOach to the traffic problem by
local authorities, but a growing
appreciation of the importance of
detailed, statistical records of ex-
actly what happens in a traffic
crash besides death, injury or
property damage.
More Traffic Puzzles
Just in case you'd like to try
your hand as an amateur traffic
safety statistician on a couple
more of these brain-teaserS, Mr..
johnson pulled these out of his
files:
From Stevens Point, Wis: "A
workman was riding on a truck
load of furniture, holding a mat
tress and a bed in place. A gust
of wind struck the mattress and
the workman was thrown to the
pavement, suffering fatal in
juries- Is 1t a motor vehicle traf-
fic death?"
And from Portsmouth, o.:
Shall we include in our motor
vehicle traffic death figures the
case OF a child killed by a motor
vehicle backed out of private
garage into a private driveway"
The Councils answer to Stew
ems Point was: Yes, it is mo-
tor vehicle traffic death. Ex-
PLANTATION the same as in the
Pittsburgh case.)
On the Portsmouth accident
the Council ruled it was a motor
vehicle miShap, but not a motor
vehicle traffic accident, because
it occurred on private property
and that, for this and other more
or less complicated reasons in
vOlving the Constitutional rights
Of private property and conduct
thereon. the regularly constitut-
ed police authorities had no
jurisdiction over the movement
of the car In other words. one
car on private property does not
constitute traffic.
