EAST INDIES

(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT)

Shan hai, To-day. PEOPLE IN THE PHILIPPINE Isla ds are concern- sed over the threat to the status quo of the Netherlands East Indies because the United States would be concerned with any seizure by force, Mr. Francis B. Sayre, U.S. High Commis- sioner for the Philippines, told me yesterday shortly after arriving here on board the U.S.S. Augusta.

Seizure of the Dutch islands by force, Mr. Sayre add- ed, would tend to wreck civilisation and des- troy the liberties of mankind.

It was in the vital interests of the

United States to uphold government SPLENDIDLY

by moral restraint, which was Chris- tlan government. Any threat to this form of government was a thrust at. the very heart of civilisation.

CORDELL HULL STATEMENT

to

Washington, To-day. The Secretary of State, Mr. Cordell Hull, said yesterday the Government would not undertake "to dictate the Philippine Legislature or bring pressure to bear on them in connexion with Japan's objection to the proposal to limit Japanese immigration in the Philippines."

Mr. The Japanese Ambassador,

on Horinouchi, had asked Mr. Hull Saturday to intercede with the Philip- pines, where legislation which would cut Japanese immigration to 500 per- sons a year was now pending-Reu- ter.

All this equipment was obtained from British and Canadian manufac- turers.

"I do not think any force has been so splendidly equipped in so short a time," said Mr, Burgin.-British Wire- less.
