Tn November, 1889, this sheet de- nanded more oil and other products from the Dutch East Indies. With sinister emphasis 1t also recalled the famous New Order" speech of Prince Konoye in 1888. Many fear that the Japanese New Order ia like the Hitler New Order. It meana grabbing other peoples property If they can get away with 1t.
 Tn April, 1o4o, Japan proclaimed 1t would protect" tiSe Indies from any nation seeking to take advan- tage of the war situation. Holland promptly thanked Japan, but said It would look after it's own property.
 Tn May, 1o40, Hitler ruthlessly conquered Holland. Japan again re- affirmed the desire to maintain the status quo in the Dutch East Indies, when Germany expressed no special interest In the islands. Almost ifn- mediately thereafter the Tokyo Foreign Ofiice notified the Dutch Minister to Japan that 1t desired abrogation of the restrictions on Japanese exports, guarantee of Q minimum amount of supplies from the Indies and 6 conference on ec- onomic relations.
 Tokyo named It's mission. It was to be headed by General Kuniaki Koiso. Despite the fact that the Dutch have stood high as Skillfui and peaceful colonial man. agers, ono of the generals first statements sounded like 6 familiar echo from Berlin:
 The East Indies as a colony long have been oppressed and exploited. We cannot tolerate such 6 condi- ton"
 DEMANDS GOT

 The government of the Dutch East Indies promptly said KoiSo would be unacceptable Therefore a new head was named for the mis- sion. But even before 1t arrived at Batavia, Japanese agents were de- manding 100000 tons of crude oil annually. This was refused because of commitments to other buyers and also because 1t would deprive In- dies refinerieS of raw material.
 Tn the fall Of 1040, the Japanese mission arrived in Batavia. They did not talk economic relations. Their whole talk was oil. They finally got on agreement that Roy- al Dutch Shell should sell them 1,- 00,4000 tons of refined oil and 700,- 900 tons of crude.
 Then they demanded high octane gasoline, which they had reason to believe the United States would no longer sell them. The Dutch show

US. Keeps Wary Eye On Japanese-Dutch Deadlock
NETHERLANDS EAST INDIES STUBBORNLY RESlSTS JAPANS EFFORT TO GAIN FOOTHOLD IN OL-RlcH PACIFIC EMPIRE

1 cd contracts by which England was the purchaser of oil the Indies product. After considerable propa- ganda agitation in the Japanese papers about alleged anti-Japanese sentiment in the Indies, Japan sent c new delegation to Batavia in De- cember, i04o.
 It was headed by Kenkichi Yosh- izawa, one-tirne Foreign Minister. He brought with him e formula very much like the one Hhtley imposed upon Rumania.
 Japan demanded oil concessions in Borneo, the right to explore the outer islands in search for pos- sible valuable resources, the right to exploit these with Japanese la- bor, the entry of Q considerable number of doctors and dentists for the Japanese colony, the right to participate in the development of air lines in the Indies and, finally, extensive fishing concessils along the coasts.
 The Dutch showed that their reputation for gtubborness is well- founded The Japanese got nowhere. So 6 few days ago they announced Q break. They also left open what they would do about 1t. Japanese papers quoted Yoshizawa as saying "The choice before us would seem to be either statesmanship or physical force."
 And that Is where the fine Amer- ican hand of Cordell Hull, Secrc- tary of State, comes in. The Jap- anese have already been warned by him of American interest in the Dutch East Indies.
 On April IT, 1040, Hull, with not little sarcasm, said he noted with interest Japans concern for inain- tenance of the status quo in the Dutch East Indies. He said those islands, stretching 3200 miles east and west, were very important In international relationships. Amer lea, among others, depended Bub- Stantially upon them for vital com- modities. Then he fired this ehell
 Intervention in tho domestic affairs of tho Netherlands Indies Or any alteration of their status quo by other than peaceful pro- cesses would be projudicial to the cause Of stability, peace and see curity, not only in the region of the Indies, but In the entire Pa. cific area"
 HULL TURNS
 THUMBS DOWN
 He cited that America and Ja- pan on Nov. 90, 1908, exchang- cd notes directed to maintenance Of the status quo in the Pacific. It was rcaffirmed by America, Ja. pan, Britain and France. They had signed Q treaty relating to their .nsular possessions and do. r1lnions in the Pacific in Decem- Der, 1921. On February 1, 1929, they sent note to Holland in which they declares their resolve to respect the rights of Holland

 in relation to It's insular posses- sionS in the Pacific.
 On May il, lo40, Hull nailed this down by saying:
 "The American government as- sumes that each of the govern mentS, which made commitments about the status quo In the Pa cific, will continue to abide by those commitments"
 On c number of occasions Hull indicated America would not O. K tho proposed "New Order con- corning which Japanese politl- clans spoke 90 glibly. The last time was as recent as January IS, lo4i when he told the Foreign Affairs Committee of the House Of Rep- resentatiVes:
 Previous experience and cur- rent developments indicate the proposed new order in the Pacific area means politically, domina- ton by one country. It means economically, employment of the resources of the area concerned for the benefit of that one coun- try. It means, socla:'y, the des- tiuction of personal liberties and the reduction of conquered peo- pies to the roe of interiors"

Until the outbreak of the European war, Japanese relations with the Dutch East Indies were fairly peaceful. The East Indies were Q fat market fer Japan. So much 50 that during the depression years, the Dutch authorities had to restrict imports from Japan be- cause they were simply flooding the market.
 Despite this, even as late as 1887 Japan was milking the Indies COW. It sold there 124 ,438, 900 guilderS' worth of goods and only bought 42, ,22o 900 worth As 6 seller, 1t far excellee Holland in its own possess sion. It also excelled the United States.
