JAPAN’S MONROE DOCTRINE
REQUEST TO UNITED STATES. (Times Cables.) (By Cable—Press Assn. —Copyright.) (Received August. 11, 8 a.m.) TOKIO, August 10. The usually reliable “Hocki Shimbun.” understands that Japan is considering a plan to ask the United States to exclude Chinese relations from the scope of the Japanese —American arbitration treaty, negotiations for the renewal .of which are now under way at Washington. The newspaper states that the plan strongly supported by the General Staff section of the Privy Council, who insist on Japan’s right to exclude general Asian relations, including Australia, from the scope of the pact, since the United States, under the Monroe Doctrine, excludes Latin-American relations. Such a plan, if carried out, might have the greatest influence on the future of the whole Pacific area, bince it would be practically equivalent to the declaration of a Japanese Monroe Doctrine for Asia and Australasia, so far as the United States is concerned.
