PACIFIC FORTIFICATIONS.
JAPANESE POINT OF VIEW. By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright. Tokio, Nov. 2. The newspaper Asahi Shimbun publishes what are regarded as the official views concerning Pacific fortifications, stating that Hawaii should be included with Guam and the Philippines in the disarmament plans. The paper says that Pearl Harbor advances the American fleet 2000 miles towards Japan, forming a substantial menace, which Japan must meet when considering the minimum of self-defence. It is reasonable, therefore, that the Japanese delegates should insist on the disarmament of all the Pacific islands, including Hawaii. The Shimbun concludes: “Should America go a step further, present a candid attitude and generously agree to abandon the plan of further strengthening Hawaii, negotiations for naval limitations will be sure to mature without great difficulty, but insistence on the Hawaiian plans may precipitate a controversy menacing the smooth progress of the conference.
