Japs Want to Fish in Pacific

Waters

IT is reported from Tokio that “after the peace treaty” the Japs expect to again become the world’s greatest fishing nation by extending activities to New Guinea waters, Truk and even the Indian Ocean.

Residents of New Guinea will remem ber with what suspicion they viewed the

small grey war-like Jap ships that called at New Guinea ports pre-war. Allegedly training “fishery officers,” they carried dozens of young Japs, all complete with cameras, who appeared to be more inter ested in photography than fish.

Mr. and Mrs. K. C. Douglas, of San Remo plantation, Talasea, New Guinea, who had spent some weeks’ leave in Australia, returned home early in March.
