The newspapers carry headline after headline regarding the Spanish war and the Japanese-Chinese war and one of the headlines of last week said that Britain was going to stage one of the largest naval demonstra- tions in history from Jan. 31st to Feb. 5th at Singapore. Another headline attributed to the Japanese Admiral Nobumasa Suet- sugu, present minister of the interior and likely to be Japan's next pre- mier, wherein he voiced unprece- dented threat that "the yoke of the white races over the yellow must dis- appear. The mercantile interests of whites must vanish in the sun of Japan's mission." Now here is the story that has leaked out and clearly shows the ideas that are back of Japan's con- quest of China, the British naval demonstration and the Japanese ad- miral's threat. Take your map of the world and follow the line from Japan down through the East China Sea, South China Sea, through the Straits of Malacca into the Bay of Bengal into the Arabian Sea. As and enter the Straits of Malacca you pass between Singapore and the Island of Sumatra. As every one knows, the British naval base Singapore is equipped with new.18- inch guns, the heaviest and most and on Feb. 11th, the dock there will also be opened. This Singapore naval dock is the second largest dock in the world and is 1,000 feet long by 130 feet wide, and can ship afloat. This naval base will then enable Britain to place a form- Flyers were defeated by the ' Ken- more Jr. Wildcats, score being 3-2.! Metcalfe line-up: Goal, A.

She has never been able to do so be- cause modern battleships must go into drydock twice a year. Britain is also rushing construction of air bases at every strategic point in the chain or line of Empire in the East, 0. | from Port Said to Australia. Now just go back to Singapore which you see guards the entrance to the Strait of Malacea, which is the; water 'gateway to India, just as the Khyber pass through the Himalayas is the land gateway to India, and one can but hazard a guess just why Japan protests that Britain's activi- ties at Singapore are violations of the Treaty of Washington. But why will England play war games backed by France and The "Netherlands, and why will the Ja- panese admiral make threats? The reason is just because Japan is build- ing a canal--but what a canal. Look at the map and you will no- tice a long neck of land stretching down from Siam, the Malay Straits|' with Singapore on the tip. Now Ja- pan is driving a canal through this { neck of land, or rather through Siam. said isthmus being known as the Isthmus of Kra. This proposed canal will be known as the Canal of Siam, United and will be dug just a few hundred | power, miles north of the huge Singapore you pass down the coast of China; at powerful artillery in the world today | new giant | accommodate the largest capital war- base and consequently out of range '| of the huge guns at Singapore. This would enable the Japanese navy and mercantile . marine to calmly pass from the China Sea into the Bay of Bengal and the Indian Ocean, thus destroying the strategic importance of Singapore. There is little doubt but that the canal is aimed directly at Singapore and it is the proposed canal which is back of all the politi- seal moves in Siam, manoeuvered by Japan--the enforced abdication of King Prajadhipok, educated in Eng- land's Eton; the succession to. the throne of his 11-year-old nephew, Prince Ananda and the dictatorship of Colonel Phya Boal, who is abso- lute authority over Siam and is pro- Japanese. This canal then, which will run through the Isthmus of Kra, will save the Japanese a distance of 1200 miles as a commercial route and will be of inestimable value from the military-naval point of view--and don't forget it leads to the Suez Canal. It is claimed that because of the natural water inlets in Siam's Isth- mus of Kra, and the river-like inden- tations of the Bay of Bengal run- ning nearly 100 miles north -and across, there remains but 33 miles of canal digging and through a sector that is not much more than 25 feet above ocean level and when com- pleted will rival the Suez Canal nd the Panama Canal in strategic im- portance, both from the naval and commercial point of view. At pre- sent, all trode and naval routes of the Far East, whether from Japan and the Dutch East Indies, or from New Zealand and Australia, lead +hrough the South China Sea, below the tip of Siam's Isthmus of Kra, through the narrow stretch of water between Singapore and the Island of Sumatra--and England holds the key position, 'Singapore, whether it Fbe for peaceful ships! or wartme vessels. , That is the story of Britain's massing of her navy, Japan's threat by her admiral, the machine-gunning of British soldiers and the sinking of the American gun boat, because it is only a question whether the Japan- ese militarists, intoxicated with their success, will go too far, and presume to attempt to attack one of the great white powers which 'she has so in- sulted 'and which she believes she has ruined in the eyes of the people of Asia. Failure of any of the powers to intervene in the Sino-Japanese war, passive acceptance of the grossest insults and injuries, and the Brussels Conference, along with many other things, have convinced the Japanese that the white race is about done. The Japs onpenly say that their ob- jective is nothing more or less than to drive the whites out of Asia, after having made China an instru- ment of this policy and they now consider Britain to be their greatest enemy. This is because Great Britain has larger interests in the Far East than any other nation; secondly, because Lshe was more imperialistic in the Far "fast than any other nation; thirdly, because with India she rules over more colored people than any other Raj no fewer than 400,000,000 dark Local and Personal Mx.
