japanese in Hawaii
Transferring Really
To j. ). Citizens
Movement Speeds Up,
Head of Honolulu Real
Estate Bourd Says
y the Associated Press.


HONOLULU, July 26.-Evidently
anticipating President Roosevelt S
order freezing japanese assets, ma
tionals of that country have been
hurriedly transferring Hawaii real
estate holdings to japanese with
American citizenship.
Louis Haxton, president of the
Honolulu Realty Board, said the
first transfers were made several
months ago. but had gathered mo-
mentum within the past few days.
Acting Gov. Charles M. Hite said
he had received word from Wash
ington that a special crew of Treas
ury agents would arrive in Homo
lulu soon by plane to help enforce
freezing of japanese assets in the
Territory
six Treasury agents left San
Francisco for Honolulu aboard a
Navy bomber late Yesterday
Japanese, both alien and Ameri-
can-born, total 156,649 in the ter
ritory of Hawaii. This represents
the largest racial group on the
islands. 1t includes 34661 alien Jap
anese and 122,188 American citi-
Zens of Japanese ancestry. Many
of the latter are serving with United
States Army units in Hawaii as
selectees. Some hold Army commits
sionS. Their work has been COM
mended by ranking officers.
OfflcialS of the two outstanding
Japanese-owned banks. the Yoko-
hama Specie Bank and the Sunni
tomo Bank. said they had noticed
no abnormal withdrawal of funds
during the past few days.
Hite said he thought that when
requests were made today for Jap
anese funds in Honolulu. everyone
holding those funds will play safe
and say no
Some japanese firms offered the
opinion there would be little handi-
cap in operation.

Japanese in Philippines
Undisturbed by Freezinq

MANILA, July 26 (P,.-The many
thousands of japanese residents in
Manila, some of them owners of rich
business concerns. showed no sign
of panic today when they heard of
President RooSevelt's order freezing
Japanese assets.
Exact figures on japanese invest
ments in the Philippines we're not
available, but it was generally con-
ceded that many millions of dollars
were involved in properties which
included the rich Davao hemp farm
ing region, banks and business
establishments.
The latest census reports set the
japanese population in the islands
at 20 1862.
The office of Francis B. Sayre,
United States high commissioner,
notified all banks and other inter-
ested quarters Immediately on re-
ceipt of word of the freezing order
from Washington, but the banks
reported that business continued
normal even at those institutions
which handled heavy Japanese Chi
nese accounts.
United States naval authorities
said they had received no orders
applicable to japanese ships Two
japanese vessels were due in Manila
Bay today.

Anti-War Post Cards
Defended by Wheeler
In Reply TO Stimson
Assertion They Went
To Soldiers Generally
Untrue, Senator Says

Senator Wheeler, Democrat, of
Montana, at press conference late
yesterday, replying to the charge of
SubverSive activities amounting al
most to treason, retorted that If it
is treason to ask the President to
keep the country out of war, let
them make the most of it,"
Earlier in the day, President
Roosevelt, at a press conference at
Hyde Park, expressed dlsapproval of
Senator Wheeler's reported action in
sending posts card to men in the
Army inviting them to protest
against this country's entering the
war.
The Montanan said there was not
a word of truth" in the assertion
that he had sent the cards to
soldiers generally.
Out of more than 900 900 cards" :"
he explained, "th> War Department
found two that had gone to Army
camps
Commercial Mailing List Used.
He said the cards were mailed TO
persons on commercial mailing
list and he would venture to say no
more than 100 reached men in mill
tary camps.
The only thing that l regret. 3"
said Senator Wheeler, is that l was
not able to send a postal card to
every mother in the United States.
In the campaign of 1886, the Demo-
cratic National Committee sent out
13,500,000 franked postal cards con-
tanning excerpts from speeches by
members of the House and Senators
in behalf of Mr.. Roosevelt. In 1910
friends of Mr.. Willkie sent out sew
eral million postal cards containing
excerpts from the Congressional
Record in behalf of his election"
Reckord Warns Soldiers.
At Fort George G. Meade, Md,
Mai. Gen. Milton A. Reckord, COM
manding the 29th Division. warned
its personnel against signing petit
tions opposing War Department
legislation, the Associated Press re-
ported
1T is possible" he said in a
memorandum, that an organized
effort from outside sources has en-
couraged the signing of petitions by
members of the military forces in
certain divisions. These petitions,
sent to Congress, oppose legislation
proposed by the War Department
10 continue the selectees. National
Guard and Reserve officers in the

Such action by persons in the

government-aimed even then at the
possibility of aggression by Japan.
It was for this purpose that Gen.
Macarthur was appointed military
adviser in 1886 and a defense plan
was promulgated at that time which
was calculated Ito give pause to
the most ruthless and powerful. y
Both naval and air units were
included in the structure of this
defense force as planned by Gen.
Macarthur, but the Philippine con-
stabulary and citizen army of
10000 was to be the backbone of
the military strength.
Placing of the Philippines on a
full wartime footing completes the
transformation of this China Sea-
Pacific area into a gigantic potential
battlefield, bristling with British,
Dutch. Japanese and American
fighting forces.
Fleet ClOaked in Secrecy.
Although United States feet
movements have been cloaked in
secrecy for months past, at least one
sizable unit has been in this gen.
eral area this summer Singapore
is now probably the heaviest forti-
fled outpost of the British Empire
and Dutch naval and land forces in
their rich Indies colonies are rated
as strong.
japanese occupation OF bases in
Indo-Chma will bring penetration by
this arm OF the Axis within $50 miles
of Singapore, $50 miles of Borneo,
and 300 miles of Manila. At the
same time, the japanese forces will
be nearly 1000 miles from the near
est base in their empire proper
Today's order by President Roose-
velt came as complete surprise
here, except for warning to corre-
spondents to be on hand for an
other announcement pertaining to
the explosive Far Eastern situation
In similar fashion the order of
last night freezing japanese assets
as of the opening of business today
broke ahead of expectations after
the President had told a press con-
ference yesterday that there prob
ably would be specific action today.

withdrawal of japanese assets from
Canada.
1t was understood such assets
actually have been frozen for at
least a week, but the formal an
nouncement was timed to coincide
with similar London statement
and one by President Roosevelt at
Hyde Park.
At the request of Gen. Chang
Kai-shek, freezing of Chinese as
sets also was put into effect, but
only to prevent any possibility of
their falling into japanese hands
through the Japanese occupation of
large areas of China.

u. S. Seen Understanding
Jopon's Determination

BERLIN, July 26 LP,.-The Ger
man press in commenting on the
freezing of japanese assets in the
United States said today that WASH
ington undestimated japanese de-
termination.
There was no official reaction to
the American move, but the press
charged the United States Govern
ment was irritated because its own
aggressive intentions toward French
Indo-China' had been thwarted.
Dozens of articles called Presi-
dent Roosevelt "aggreSSor number
one" and typical of the temper
of the press was hearline in the
newspaper Lokalanzeiger as follows:
u. S. A. Gangsters Rage in South
America"
The article under it charged that
the United States had falSlfled docu-
mentS and employed faxed evidence
in an effort to establish that there
had been Nazi activities in Para
quay, Bolivia and Argentina.
