PACIFIC DANGER.
JAPAN'S AMBITIONS
U.S. Should Aim At Stable
Settlement. MUTUAL CONCESSION BASIS. United I'resa Association.—Copyright. (Received 1.30 p.m.) CAMBRIDGE (Mass.), July 5. Mr. H. Duncan Hall, lecturing' al Harvard Summer School, said the United States' greatest contribution to freedom and peace would be to throw weight into negotiation for a stable settlement in the Far East and Pacific, detach Russia and Japan from the Axis and win co-operation for a far-reaching peace plan, based I on mutual concessions. He added that the uncertainty of the Fleet's disappearances in the Pacific was the best feature of American policy, but it could not be repeated for Ion? unless the Powers felt that American diplomacy was more purposeful. Japan realised her economic vulnerability and, therefore, was interested ia gaining by diplomatic pressure rather than by conquest. Mr. Hall suggested a renewal of tlie trade treaty between Japan and Amcrica. the removal of the immigration ban and the recognition of Manchukuo, in all of which the fullest Empire co-operation could be counted upoa.
