Japanese Suggest
America Withdraw
Navy From Hawaii
Best Way to Keep Pledge
No Troops to Go Abroad,
Controlled Paper Says
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
TOXIC, Jan. 16.-The Foreign
Offlce-controlled Japan Times sug-
gested today that "the best way
of keeping President Roosevelt's
pledge that no troops will be sent
to foreign soil would be to Withdraw
the Navy to home waters"
Commenting on criticism in the
United States Congress of the lend
lease bill to aid Britain, the Times
said:
ITO Japanese, it looks very much
like the United States is going the
long way around for sending armed
forces into the scene of action
abroad" by maintenance of a fleet
at Hawaii.
The Toxic press urged the govern
ment to hasten Japan's 'Southward
program" and be ready for resolute
acIion to offset British and United
States influence in East Asia.
Huge overseas naval concentra-
tions are equivalent to extension of
national boundaries" the Times
said. In Americas case, they sug-
gest dictatorship over the parallels
of a latitude below Pearl Harbor,
an invitation to others to keep away,
therefore challenge and threat,
preliminaries to hostilities, hence a
contradiction of Americas an
nounced policy of keeping its fight
ing sons at home"
Comment on Hull Declined.
The Government Information
Bureau declined to comment on the
statement of United States Secre-
tary of State Cordell Hull to the
House Foreign Affairs Committee
yesterday envisioning encroachment
by axis powers on the Western
Hemisphere in the event of defeat
of Britain.
However, the bureau plans to issue
a statement tomorrow through its
head, Nobufumi Ito. and it was said
authoritatively that the attitude
probably to be taken is that the only
purpose of certain remarks by Mr.
Hull was to regiment United States
opinion against Japan.
The japanese press splashed the
Hull story under headlines such as
Yomiuri'S America trembles at the
shadow over the Pacific; Hull mis-
represents Japan, frantically seeking
passage of aid for Britain bill"
Domei, Japanese news agency,
quoted diplomatic observers as at
taching slight significance to Mr.
Hulls statement, on the ground it
merely confirmed that the United
States still misunderstood the real
intention of the axis powers to es-
tablish a new world order.
Cause for Trouble Denied.
The news agency said ''the United
States gives the impression it as
sumes an attitude of raising trouble
where there is no cause in the face
of a series of peaceful statements
from responsible Japanese" in
cluding Foreign Minister Yosuke
Matsouka.
Domei said in broadcast
from Toxic that a meeting of the
directors of the National Service
Association, an influential patri-
otic organization. discussed the
unfriendly attitude of the United
States toward the axis powers as
expressed by Secretary Hull be-
