PACIFIC CONTROL.
Japanese Governor-General for Mandated Islands. "SOUTHWARD POLICY." TOKYO, May 17. Japanese newspapers feature the details of Japan's impending developments in the Pacific. They state that as a result of pressure from the Navy, a high officer is to become GovernorGeneral of Formosa, with increased status and powers which will enable htm to give proper attention to the Navy's "southward policy." The Governor-General will control the Marianne, Caroline and Marshall Islands, which number 2550. This will ensure rational reorganisation of a huge area in the Pacific, extending southward from Japan to the equator. The Budget has been passed by the Lower House. It provides for an ex- i penditure of £135,000,000, of which a sum of £32,000,000 is for the Navy and £31,000,000 for the Army. A total of £41,000,000 is required in loans to balance the Budget. j
