•Only Answer To Asia’s Fears’ ffipe 10 p.m.) NEW YORK, Sept. 2. The President of the Philippines (Mr einuiio Quirino) said to-day that a M Pacific Pact, similar to tne Atlantic fleet?, was the only adequate an|«er to South-east Asia’s twin fears—resurgent Japanese imperialism and irtended Communist aggression. He said that the mutual defence treaties the United States signed with to, Zealand. Australia, and the
Philippines prepared the ground for a sweeping anti-aggression pact, binding together all th* free nations of the Pacific. Mr Quirino said he would be willing to include Japan. This would be tantamount to a non-aggression pact w.,n Japan, “which country we have always regarded as a menace to us.” He said he would like the United States President or some other Pacific chief of State to take the lead in the formation of a pact.
