Japan Pours Migrants Into South Seas LONDON, Dec. 14. ■ Japan ese are pouiing into the islands held under mandate at the rate of 10,000 a year, said Mr A. J. Marshall, the Australian naturalist, .before leaving on a special visit to study the bower bird. The Japanese were reported to be intermarrying with natives, who doubtless would be eventually swamped, just as the small semi-European population of the Bonins had been submerged in the Japanese flood. Mr Marshall reealled how Japanese were seeuring control of business in the New Hebrides. Japanese economic penetration is very extensive thrqpghout the South. Seas. It is felt here that the . GermanJapanese alliance provides the strongest reason against the return of New Guinea. Otherwise there might have been some argument in favour of having a strong European Power in tbis region of the Pacifie cheek by , owl With the Japanese, bnt not when the two are working together in an allegedly ideological erusade .gainst Communism. It might be found that their dangerous ideas were as active in the Pacifie as they were in Spain or China.
