JAPAN AND THE PACIFIC.
* HER PACJFJC ASMS. JBT EIBOTBIO TeUSGBAV-H— CdPYIUUUI I'RKBS ASSOCIATION.I (Received 10.50 a.m.) Sydney, January 7. Shimizu, the nu»v Japanese Consul, in an interview, strongly resented the implications contained in certain advertisements that Japan" wished to take Australia. They did not desire to 'take land from anyone; if they expanded at all, it wouid be in the" way of trade. He did not think the increase in the Japanese population would necessitate territorial expansion. Many could go to Hawaii or Brazil, and as they did not cease to be Japanese citizens, Japan could afford to allow her surplus population to leave.
Shimizu declared that war with Russia or the United States was i" the last degree remote, as Japan's aims were entirely pacific.
