JAPAN'S MOVE PORTENDS WAR, IS CONCLUSION Report Says Nippon Needs Superior Arms to , Back Policy. BY WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS Srrlppt-How.rd Foreltn Editor WASHINGTON, Jan. 16.—Between Japan's walkout at London, following her take-it-or-leave-it demand 101* a navy second to none, and Italy's plight as a result of sanctions, there is a vital link. Poor in natural resources, Nippon intends to push her drive for control over raw materials so deep into the Asiatic mainland,"if not into the Pacific islands to the south, that war will L. the logical outcome. Japan’s poi.cy, therefore, is to make herself impregnable, or as nearly so as humanly possible, both geographically and militarily. For this a superior navy, army and air force are indispensable. Japan Is Wary Japan does not intend to be caught as Italy—likewise lacking essential raw materials —has been caught by the League of Nations. At least not if she can help it, and she believes she can. If Japan had a navy equal to any, and used the mandated islands she took ovpr from Germany as submarine and air bases, and mined the passages between the chain of islands stretching from Kamchatka to Hongkong, not even the combined fleets of Britain and America could safely challenge her there. By setting up puppet, buffer states in Manchuria, Mongolia and North China whence her army and air force could operate, she would make herself impregnable against any military power on earth, save, perhaps, the Soviet Union’s. Nippon Views Area From such a position Nippon then could expand still farther with everincreasing safety. For the more this area comes under her control, the less League sanctions could hamper her. Meantime, her situation is not so secure. “If sanctions are ever applied against Japan, as they been against Italy,” a report of the American Council of Pacific Relations declared today, "the top-heavy industry which the island empire has built up may bring disaster to the entire nation—unless dependable foreign sources of raw materials can be assured.” Whjch is what Nippon is desperately striving to do—assure herself, in time of war as well as in time of peace, of essential raw materials. Japan's reserve of iron ore is not only poor in quality but extremely limited. She has little coking coal and what she has is none too good. Oil, rubber, cotton, nickel, antimony, lead, zinc, tin and other materials are either wholly or partly lacking. Chromite Plays Role "The Japanese,” the report adds, "are endeavoring to get exclusive rights to Philippine chromite, a key material for war purposes. The United States is bound to have more than casual interest in this, as it produces very little and consumes one-fourth of the world's annual production.” To encompass sufficient raw materials to make her relatively secure, Japan will have to include within her orbit considerably more Chinese territory, perhaps all Eastern Siberia, the Philippines and the Dutch East Indies. North China has vast quantities ' i the best coking coal in the Orient. Eastern Siberia is said to contain vast iron deposits. Soviet Sakhalin has considerable oil. The Philippines grow all manner of needed materials and the Dutch East Indies yield oil, coal, rubber, copra, foodstuffs and many other products vital to Japan. Philippine Independence The Philippines are soon to be set free. Their possession would give Japan control over this entire section of the Pacific, plus the southern and southeastern approaches to China and Japan proper, together with undreamed-of stores of raw materials—provided she owns a powerful fleet. Refusal of a Japanese foreign office spokesman to consider joining other powers in a guarantee of Philippine independence is regarded as significant, rather than important. For, it is remarked here, such a guarantee would mean nothing anyway.

INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

RURAL ELECTRIC WORK REPORTED BY STATE FIRM Southern Indiana Company Built Nine Miles of Lines in 1935. The Southern Indiana Gas and Electric Cos. constructed nine miles of rural electric lines and expended $12,000 for rural electrification last year, Clarence Manion, state National Emergency Council director, announced today. The company was the only company operating solely in Indiana that reported directly to the Rural Electrification Administration last year, Mr. Manion said. The utility’s rural lines will serve 68 patrons. Two utilities which have Indiana subsidiaries, the American Gas and Electric Cos. and the Commonwealth and Southern System, also made reports to the REA. The former spent $1,010,778 and the latter $4,376,628 on rural electrification. Clay Project Dropped By United Press BRAZIL, Ind.. Jan. 16.—Abandonment of plans for rural electrification in the Seventh Congressional District was announced here today by directors of the Utility District of western Indiana Rural Electric Membership Corp. Herman Koehler. Center Point, a director, said the corporation abandoned the project because requirements of the Federal program could not be met. Under tha government program each consumer would be required to use approximately 3600 kilowatt hours a mile a year. Directors doubted Clay County farmers would agree to this. Preliminary payments made to the association will be returned to subscribers, Mr. Koehler said.
