JAPAN IN THE PACIFIC
NO THOUGHT OF DOMINANCE. Received 22, f1.25 p.m. London, February 22. Count Kato, interviewed in London, emphasising Japan's excellent relations witli all the Powers and her honest love of peace, ridiculed the talk of dominance of the Pacific. There could be no dominant Power in those vast waters. Japan wanted her share, but not that washing the American continent, for there she had nothing to do. Similarly, she had no interests in Hawaii or the Philippines capable of dashing with America, but she meant to be of the dominant Paeilic Poweis with her own Sphere or influence in her o\\: part of the ocean. He added that in '.'Vina "our friendly policy is well known. ' We I fought'for the open door, i.ml shall not I attempt to close it."
