protest against 'stalling" by the

JAPAN'S MOVE
SOUTH RAISES
new RIDDLES
WHAT WILL MAJOR POWERS
DO TO PROTECT THEIR
INTERESTS? MANY PROB
LENS ADVANCED

tAssociated Press Feature ServiceD
Japan, proposing to be undis-
puted boss of Oceania and East
Asia, can do one of three things
fight, talk fight, or sit tight.
Thus far, Japan is fighting
only with China. Diplomacy has
won concessions in Thailand and
French Indo- China. But, since
empires are not won by sitting
tight, endless questions are rails
ed by what course Japan may
now follow next.
Here, in short, are the stakes
involved, and problems present
ed to the three powers most
greatly concerned:
AMERICA The U. S. is COM
mitted to defense of the Philip
pines until 1916, and these is
lands, with 16,00O,000 people,
are right in the middle of the
area that Japan claims it is her
destiny to rule. The islands
would be difficult
to invade, but some secondary
bases, like Guam, might not be
able TO resist long. In the Dutch
East Indies America has close to
a billion dollar investment in
oil, and tin and in China
an investment of some $250,000,-
900.
JAPAN - Japan wants the
Dutch East Indies, but to get
them would first have to put the
Philippines out of the fight and
to hold them would have to
keep the British at Singapore
subdued. Both would be tough.
Japan could not hope to block
ade either Britain or America,
but she herself could be block
AIDED with comparative ease,
and her cities are within bomber
range of u. S. bases.
BRITAIN The British navy is
outgunned in the Pacific by the
japanese, but her cruisers, de-
stroyers and submarines slcould

base at Hong Kong is subject to.
blockade, but its loss Would not
be critical. Britain's biggest
worry is India, richest founda-
ton stone Of her empire. If
Singapore should fall, India
might be wide open to the Jap
anese.
Biggest nautical question mark
in the Pacific crisis is the Jap
anese navy. Only the Japanese
know, and they aren't telling,
exactly how big is the fleet that
flies the Rising Sun flag.
Several years ago Japan clamp
ed the lid on natal information.
Despite that vigilance. naval ex-
perts Of the world have a pretty
good idea about the present
strength of the japanese fleet.
Several factors make close es-
Inmates possible. First, naval
constructors know how long it
takes to build a fighting vessel.
Second, Japan must import
much vital shipbuilding material.
and export totals show how much.
Third, battleship is too big to
be built in a laboratory, and the,
news gets around.
Japan had ten capital ships
when she went hush-hush on
naval information. British sourc-
es estimate she's building nine
more, five over 10000 tons and
four super pocket battleships of
about $4,000 tons.
Published British naval data
says three of the big Japanese
battleships have been launched

Haghijo. They also say two of
