GEN SADAO ARAKI mander-in-chief of the combined Imperial ficels of Japan, recently declared that Japan already is preparing for war with the United States, implying that there is not room for two big fleets in the Pacific and apparently believing that the distance separating the American mainland from her Eawaiian and Philippine possessions is an insurmountable bandicap to the U. S. The flight of U. S. Naxy seaplanes from San Francisco to Hawaii In 24 hours under the leadership of Lt. Com. Knedler McGinnis may have changed the admiral's outlook. Backed by Minister of War Sadao Arald, Admiral Suetsugu further asserts that la 1935, when she is due to return mandated Pacife islands to the League of Nations, war will result if any attempt is made to oust Japan from these islands.
