WHOLE OF OCEANIA POSSESSION OF ASIATICS OUSTING WHITE RACE RESOURCES FOR MILLIONS (Elec. T<o. Copyright—United Press Assn.) (Reed. Feb. 25 1.45 p.m.) TOKIO, Feb. 24. “While it is difficult to conduct political affairs according to advocated ideals, I believe that the white race must cede Oceania to the Asiatics,” said the Japanese Foreign Minister, Mr. Yosuke Matsuoka.in the Diet. “My theory is that Oceania, which measures 1200 miles from north to south and 1000 miles from east to west, must be made a place to which the Asiatic peoples can migrate. This region has sufficient natural resources to support between 600,000,000 and 800,000,000 people. We believe that we have a natural right to migrate there.”
