South Sea Fears of Japan's Aims Fuuni by Envoy Tokyo Spoke;man, How- ever, Scoffs at Idea of Imperial Expansion By GLENN BABB TOKY?, Dec. 21.—Japan's south- arn island neighbors, the Philippines and Dutch East Indies, are afraid they lie in the pathway of a Japanese program of southward expansion, said Katsuji Debuchi, former ambas- sador to Washington, on his return from an official tour of the South Seas. The rotund and jovial diplomat who held the Washington post from 1928 to 1933, and tried to make the United States take a sympathetic view of Japanese expansion on the ontinent, was on a “goodwill mis- dies. He told the Japanese press that leaders in the new Philippines com- monwealth and in ‘the Dutch col- onies ‘labor under certain delusions with regard to Japan’s policy of ad- vahce in the southern Pacific.” “An exaggerated view of our ex- pansion in the southern seas prg- vails in the Philippines and the islands controlled by Holland,” he said, adding: ‘“Misunderstandings seemed to prevail” and implying that Japan has no intention of harming her island neighbors in the sourse of her rise to dominance in the eastern ocean. In Australia and New Zealand, Debuchi said he found friendliness | toward Japan, with “all former m! understandings - arising from our Manchurian policy dispelled.” Philippines Need Markets Debuchi, who visited Manila in| August, emphasized that Japan in her relations with the Philippines through the next 10 years, must avoid causing uneasiness or affront to the still sovereign United States. | “Japan’s relations with the islands during the commonwealth period | must take full cognizance of Ameri- can opinion, and the three nations | tual concession,” he said. | “It must be admitted, however, that after independence the Philip- pines, which hitherto have found the chief outlet for their product in the United States, must seek other mar- kets. Economic difficulties prob- ably will beset the future of the in- dependent Philippine state. - R MISTLETOE FEEDS UPON OTHER TREES Despite its popularity as a Christ- mas green, there is little worry about conserving the country's supply of | mistletoe. For this attractive plant, | with its shiny, dark leaves and waxy white berries, grows as a parasite high on the branches of trees and does considerable damage to its host trees. Science has revealed that the mistletoe seeds are carried from tres to tree by birds. - R Cakes Keep Moist When baking fruit cookies or cakes, add a small pan of water to the oven.
