IMMEDIATE WAR URGED

Japanese Admiral’s Views By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright (Received November 24, 6.30 p.m.) TOKIO, November 23. Admiral Tyozt Nakamura, in an article in “Kokumin,” advocating immediate war against the United States, asserted that the United States was the greatest direct factor in blocking the attainment of japan’s mission in East Asia. A message from Manila states that the Twentieth United States Army Pursuit Squadron, numbering 177 men and officers, arrived with almost wartime secrecy. Interviews and photographs were forbidden. This represents the strongest reinforcement to arrive in the Philippines since the deterioration of Japanese and American relations. Senator Hamilton Fish in a broadcast said Mr Roosevelt had neither the will nor the ability to keep the United States out of the war. He urged that the United States should take over the Anglo-French islands in the Western Hemisphere for the cancellation of World War debts. Credits should be extended only after British resources had been exhausted.
