I seems that there is after all to be no international question about the small island which, after remaining unknown to almost the whole world, has suddenly sprung into prominence.

It has been customary to regard the Bonin lalands as the easternmost of Japan's possession (south of the main islands, that is), but there are other islets east of the Bonins, which it would not be surprising to see Japan claim should they prove to have any commercial value.
