This is the second of his five articles cn Japan, the first of several se- ries he will write while on his Journey. By WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS (Copyright, 1934, NEA Service, Inc.) Tokio, April 6. — Arms and muni- tion factories are running full blast in Japan in preparation. for what everybody refers to as the coming “grave crisis.” In 1935 and 1936, the war party claims, and the public believes, things will happen which will make or break the Japanese empire. So, by 1935, the army must be at its peak. The navy must be at its peak. The rank and file of the country must be prepared for any emergency and ac oe oe imit. In_ 1935 Japan's withdrawal from the League of Nations will become ef- fective. She fears she will be more than ever isolated, with the world against her, In 1935 will be raised the question of ownership of the South Sea Islands, seattered over the Pacific from Ha- wail to the Philippines — the Mar- shalls, Marianas, Carolines, Yap, and Pelew. Held under League of Nations man- date, Japan has not the slightest in- tention of giving them up. She re- gards them as of the greatest strate- gic value, Naval Crisis Faced In 1935 will be held. the crucial naval. conference—unless it is called off, as many believe it will be because it has no chance to succeed. Finally, in 1935, if “the crisis” has not been precipitated before, Japan may face a showdown with Soviet Russia—a new Russia, whose arma- ment is increasing daily and which views with mounting alarm the men- ace of being cut off from the Pacific by Nippon. At the naval conference, Japan will demand parity with the United States and Great Britain. This, she will claim, is her right as a great power and because upon her shoulders rests the burden of peace in the Orient. Unless she wins her point, it is in- dicated, she will withdra) Washington and London nai tation treaties as she did from sounds . paradoxical, and is. But to the Orient mind, nothing could be simpler. The problem {s one of national Pride and honor, Nippon does not wish it to continue a matter of record Year in 1935 those allowed others. Once her right is acknowledged, I am informed, she May agree of her own free will not to avail herself of it, ‘While Tokio's naval policy has not been announced, the above represents the views of high naval, military, and civil officials who will help formulate that policy. Prefers Death to “Shame” Japan today is in the position of a first-class power attempting to main- tain her place in the world on the re- sources of a third-class power. Un- leas she can acquire additional re- sources, she must eventually step down to the lower rung. That she will do this voluntarily is out of the question. She will in- vite annihilation first, She will eith- er get the “new deal,” or Asia will ‘again be turned crimson. Japan, in her program of expan- sion, has reached midstream only. The water about her is swift and deep. She Must push on to the other shore, or turn back. Manchuria and Jehol are too much or too little territory for her needs— too much because it will inevitably in- vite a counter-attack from Russia and China, too little because it lacks suf- fictent of those vital resources which ‘® vast empire must have. Seeks Trade Leadershp Maintaining one of the world’s big- gest armies, 260,000 effectives, and demanding navy second to none, Japan also is making a supreme bid for world trade leadership. This colossal program requires vast re- serves, in peace or war, of steel, oil, coal, rubber, cotton, sugar, various chemicals and metals, none of which is found in sufficient quantity in her new domain. ‘Without oil, modern armies and na- vies are practically helpless. Japan occupies 12th place in oil production after the United States, and 11th af- ter Soviet Russia. The United States produces 845,000,000, Russia 160,000,- 000, and Japan 2,000,000 barrels an- nually. Even counting the oil she gets from the northern half of the Island of Sakhalien—leased from Russia and undependable in time of war—Japan produces only a fourth of her peace- time needs. Manchuria has no known free oil. There is plenty of shale, but its oil content is low. Coal, Iron Quest Futile Japan had hoped to find a supply of iron and coking coal in the new territory, but again seems doomed to disappointment, The ore is of poor quality and she still imports nine tons for every one she produces. The story of rubber, cotton, and Other essential materials is more dis- couraging still. Japan’s grandiose dream of em- pire is based upon her scheme to be- come another Great Britain, turning raw materials into finished products and shipping them to the four cor- ners of the earth in Japanese bot- toms. But once more she seems to have arrived on the scene a little too late, though for the moment her foreign trade is booming. Even Britain is regarded as having long since passed her peak in this line of business and today is facing a reorientation of her national economy. Builds House on Sand that she, a major world power, posses-| Japan, therefore, seems to be build- ses rights in any way inferior tojing, at least partly, on sand. Leal ‘Miss Florida’s’ Romance Ends ————————_—_—][=] Ada Williams Ince, former “Mi Florida,” finds her romance wrecked at 19. She is suing William T. Ince, son of the pio- neer film producer, for divorce. Mrs. Ince is shown here at the counsel table in superior court, Los Angeles, conditions which made England are doubtless gone forever. And clouds are already darkening | the Japanese trade horizon. At this! writing 27 countries are taking steps to curtail Japanese imports. With emigration and exports both checked, Japan almost certainly will seek to carve out a still bigger empire for herself. Within its borders she will endeavor to find, not only the raw materials necessary, but a subject Population to absorb her surplus goods. It is either that or return to the status of a hungry little island teem- Ed with people and racked with pov- y.
