PACIFIC TREND GIVES HOPE OF FUTUREPEAGE Institute Builds Offices on West Coast to Further Work. BY MAX STERN SAN FRANCISCO, May 11.—The Institute of Pacific Relations will establish a permanent office here in August. Following a visit of Secretary Edtariat of the American Council of ward Carter the scope of the Secrethe institute will be extended by building anew headquarters on the coast. A San Francisco Bay Region committee has been named by President Ray Lyman Wilbur. Mrs. Alfred McLaughlin, prominent club woman and recent delegate to the second Honolulu Institute, will be in charge. Pacific Peace Nearer "Permanent peace is nearer in the Pacific than at any time in recent history,’’ said Carter. "There are fewer real 'sore spots’ in the Pacific basin than in years. Outside the Chinese revolution I can see not more than five ‘spots’ that might endanger peace. "The first is Manchuria. Japan regards this country as we regard Panama, and is penetrating it economically as fast as possible. China regards it as Chinese and when China gets to its feet the issue will come to a head. "The second is the relation of the ‘Powers’ to the Chinese coast. Tariff-control, foreign concessions and other things troubling Chinese nationalists are, however, solving themselves. The ‘Powers’ are coming to realize that it is better to have Chinese good will than these smaller advantages. Population Bothers Japs "The third is Japan in Korea. The rise of the liberal movement in Japan is changing Japanese foreign policy from one of military domination to one of economic penetration, and the Koreans are becoming more reconciled to Japan’s presence. "The fourth is Japan’s great population problem. At the present rate* of increase of 90,000 net a year Japan’s will equal America’s population in 1967. ’ This is being met by scientific agriculture, industrialization and the natural birth control that operates with higher living standards. "The fifth is the ‘Philippine problem’ and independence. Here I believe the best thought in the Islands is accepting the idea of some dominion status within the American framework.
