In order to gala mastery of the Pacific by reoiDletely Isolating the United Statea from the vastly rich markets of the Far Hart. worn ct out r. s. This ptaa embodied a secret map of t)e Pacific, the moat comprehensive map of Its kind so far known. When the United Btatea authorities learned Of the eslatence of this map and $s vailed threat to American Interests la tho Far East, they acted prompuy. President Harding and hia advisers soon afterwards Issued the call for a world Conference to decide this momentous duoetlon definitely and for all time What waa the strategy contained In Oils Japanese plan? " e Considering Ita Infinite detatla It must ' heva been carefully studied and threahed ' out by Japan'a naval n commercial strategists before their Ideas were trans planted to paper. - What waa Its dominant idea? t To shut out the United States from the Far East ; and so to- encompass her with naval 'barriers that aha would be legally and therefore physically unable to cope with Japanese Imperialism and commercialism In Eastern Asia. TAB AT AMEEICA 1 Let us envisage some of the outstand ing features of this map and disclose What Its culmination would have meant to American alma and aspirations. It Is a stab at the heart of American na communications with Guam and the Philippines. - It divides the Pacific Into Japanese and BrlUah spheres of "naval Influ ence." It allola to the United States that portion of the North Pacific ad jacent to Its western shores and the Hawaiian Ulanda Jt also allots the Waters Immediately surrounding Guam and Che Philippines. t But Japanese barriers supervene be tween these two American spheres of Influence. , Furthermore. It brings Into promi nence the mystery Island of Salpan, leas than J 60 miles from Guam, and al most directly severing American com fkunlcatlona . Thla little known Salpan i - .. . . r lveneaa Our naval authorities have t known for soma time of certain Japanese v activities there. asuiistv viriviV'i I have learned from unquestioned abureae that thla laland, almost within Mifisk n 9 fill m pnmf ifwtmm t h A main , Japaaese submarine base In the Pa- dtie, She haa submarines there now, of . . If rge erulslng radius. Bhe has aa avi ation base either on Salpan or on the adjaoeat mandated lalanda Anglo-Japanese treaty; also because the strotif moral Influence exerted by this treaty, nan been of such enormous ad vantage to Japah la her exploitation of China. But the British are understood lo have surveyed the Japanese schemes with cold Indltference. SQUITAXEKT TO THBEAT It Is true that Great Britain haa a naval baae at Hongkong, but according to a recent dispatch, Singapore Is to be the larger of the two. . Now comes the American angle to the oovetoua designs of Japan. The Unitgd Statea authorities, through secret channels, soon learned of the wholesale manner in which Japan planned to allce up the Pacific. ; They learned of the Japanese proposals to England. Though not suspicious of Great Brit ain they nevertheless took: Into account the Anglo-Japanese treaty and Its pos sible threat to American Interests. ft was the concensus of opinion la diplomatic circles that this Japaneae plan was equivalent to a threat against the United States, The Anglo-Jipanese alliance had been the cause ofoonald erable suspicion net to mention fears. It r waa conceded that thla obnoxious treaty should be "echepped" at onee.

There is one fact of peculiar interest to the United Btatea sad which dearly defines the hand of Japaaeae stab? men.
