Special to the "Telegraph"
MANILA, Oct. 17. (UP).—It is understood that the United States Army officials were investigating the possible widespread involvement of others including a well-known Japanese prior to the arrest of Captain Rufo C. Romero of the Philippine Scouts.
However, the seriousness of Romero's offence necessitated his arrest before the completion of the investigation which is being continued by Army officials.
It is understood that the arrest, »•«

cle
The newspaper declares that its information is based on special information and not on mere, supposition. It asserts that Herr von Ribbentrop is dismayed because the situation in the East Indies has not worsened recently.
Ribbentrop has been striving to whip up Japanese feeling against the Dutch by disseminating the assertion that Holland, under British influence, would be forced to lease naval bases in the Dutch Indies to America. The necessity for this, however, does not arise as the Dutch Indies are not being attacked seriously threatened.

Messages Stopped
"We have proof that telegrams from authoritative sources In Tokyo, reflecting the Japanese Government's policy. are withheld by the Nazi Press. Japan's attitude of restraint is not to Berlin's taste and moreover the Washington reaction to Ribben- trop's Berlin-Home-Tokyo move has strengthened the hands of the more responsible Japanese statesmen," says the-paper.
