JAPAN’S ISLANDS
EVIDENCE OF PROGRESS TOKIO, June 28. Admiral Fujita, a member of the Supreme War Council, on his return from an inspection of the islands of the South Seas which are under a Japanese mandate, said he was surprised and delighted that the plans which were inaugurated when Japan occupied the islands had succeeded far beyond expectations.. He expected even greater progress in the next three or four years. The Japanese, he added, were firmly rooted in the islands, which were like an extension of Japan. A large Japanese population has been planted in the Caroline and Marshall Islands, which were German before the war. In 1920 there were 45,000 natives and 3600 Japanese in the islands; in 1932 there were 46.000 natives and 28,000 Japanese.
