THE FAR EAST
JAPAN NOT FEARED PHILIPPINE ISLANDS SINGAPORE, September 15. “President Quezon closely studied military developments in Germany recently, for after 1916 the Philippines will have to defend themselves,” said Mr Jose M. Veloso, a member of the Philippines Assembly, in an interview in Singapore. The President, he added, had engaged General MacArtlinr, formerly a United States Army officer, to organise a Filipino army. The Philippines did not fear aggression from Japan. Quite apa r t from the fact that they would possess real military strength by 1916, when the time onme for America to walk out, it was almost certain that the Manila Government would negotiate military treaties wrtn Great Britain and other nations with interests in the Far East.
