Strengthens Dutch
Stand Against Japan
America Seeks to Guard
Profitable Two-Woy
Trade With Indies
BY ROYAL ARCH GUNNISON.

BATAVIA, Java, Sept. l (By Air
maid (N.A.N.A). - The United
States already is defending the
Netherlands Indies, in more ways
than one, against the invasion that
has been feared since early May,
when Holland fell to Germany.
To be sure, there has been no
physical invasion of the Indies at
this writing, but to say there have
been no "forceful' attempts at inva-
sion of rights and even of territory
is merely blinking at facts.
This correspondent has Just COM
pleted a trip through many of the
heavily populated and extremely
rich islands of the Indies. as part of
the tour I am making on the pioneer
first flight by Pan-American Clip
per from the United States around
the South Pacific route and back
home.
Obviously. Japan wants the Meth
erlandS Indies for extension of its
economic life-inexpensive importa-
ton of vital commodities such as
rubber, tin, iron, quinine, woods and
petroleum. and export of cheap Jap
anese-made goods to the more than
100000 natives who live in these
islands.
Want to Exploit Indies.
The japanese do not want the
islands for colonization. They want
the Indies for economic exploitation.
Both the natives and the Dutch are
dead set against any such exploita-
ton. regardless of the guise under
which the Japanese attempt to
cloak it: and plenty of DISCUSSES are
being used by various official and
unofficial Japanese missions Wis
iting in Java these days.
The United States, on the other
hand, with more than one and one
half billion dollars at stake in
property and capital investment
here, seeks to protect necessary
two-way economy by which it i'm
ports tin, rubber, quinine, while
proflting from the petroleum prod
uctS distributed through the Far
East and to Australia. and in turn
exports machinery. finished prod
ucts and. in the past year, airplanes
and airplane parts.
A third interested party in all of
this defense" of tin, rubber and
Oil is Britain. whose opinion is ex-
pressed by the Malay States, Singa-
pore, and Australia and New Zea-
land. Singapore is the worlds tin
and rubber center today and the
Netherlands Indies produce the
rubber. The Sumatra and Borneo

oil wells. operated by the Standard
and Shell Oil Co.'S, supply nearly all
the petrol used in the Far East.
The United States is defending the
Netherlands Indies from outward
military and economic aggression in
several ways. The first of these is
the selling of speedy Curtis pursuit
planes and fast Lockheed- Hudson
twin-motored dive bombers to the
Dutch. Furthermore, large per-
centage of the Netherlands Indies
army air force is comprised of
United States-made Glenn-Martln
bombers. Machine tools, paint,
special instruments and other me-
chanical defense equipment are be-
ing supplied by United States con-
Germs.
The second United States defense
against Japanese aggression is po-
litical. Secretary of State Cordell
Hull has demanded the continuance
of the status quo" in Indo-Asia.
One is reminded of the story of the
Negro who defined status quo" as
de mess ives in" If that defini-
ton be used, the Indies are Ger
tainly going to remain In status
quo.
Here in Batavia there are several
Japanese missions" holding CONVEX
sations with members of the In
dies government. I know on good
authority the Japanese are not
getting very far with the stolid but
cagy Dutch. The Japanese who
travel Java ward on fishing expe-
ditions' are not getting so much as
a nibble. One of the reasons cited
here for this strong hold-out against
'preposterous" Japanese demands
is the location of a large part of
the United States Fleet just up the
Pacific a way at Hawaii.
Dutch leaders here believe the
Netherlands Indies are rapidly be-
coming more important to the
United States, from the necessary
natural resources viewpoint, than
are the Philippine Islands.
Four Missions Proposed.
japanese demands include the
establishment of four missions. the
first of which concerns oil, and for
which the United States, Britain
and the Dutch all have representa-
tives in Batavia.
The second mission is diplomatic,
the leader of which would have
rank of an Ambassador to discuss
all economic problems. The Dutch
agree it would be an excellent idea
TO discuss economic matters with
the japanese But they contend
the agenda should be carefully out
lined prior to the meetings and
should be closely followed. The
Dutch know the japanese have q
way of making potent last-minute
demands.
The third mission deals with trade
This mission, yet to come, demands

mission to inspect the supplies the
Indies might produce for Japan.
The Netherlands government re-
piled that there really was no need
to inspect the supplies of tin, Pc
troleum and rubber, all Of which
were doing nicely, and would be
available to Japan as well as other
nations.
How far the United States will
60 in defense Of these resources is
still a big question-but the Dutch
are reasonably certain that the
larger the question mark over the
isles Of Japan, the safer the Indies
are from economic or physical ag-
erosion.

that Japan be allowed to purchase
in advance, on contract, resources
that the Netherlands Indies gov
eminent would guarantee" they
receive. That means the possibility
of Japan holding the market for
rubber or tobacco closed to an Oc-
cidental buyer if the Japanese
claimed their need and guarantee"

Britain have objected on the grounds

opportunity to become intimate with
the National Capital Park system.
Mr.. Root said he felt fair bal
ance should always be struck be-

park system. On the one hand, he
said, the National Capital Parks are
the setting for the seat of Govern
ment of the United States. AS such
they ARE in a gold fish bowl on dis
play for the close scrutiny of the
entire population whose Capital
they grace"
They should be an example to the
rest of the country and something
in which the country can take
pride" he added.
Need for Rural Parks.
On the other hand, he said, the
National Capital Parks always
should be designed and admins
tered to serve the interests of the
local community. He said he would
conscientiously attempt to admin
lister the parks so that they would
serve equally we'll in either func-
ton.
