declared
Clivc
Planta,
M.L.A.
for

in
addressing
the
Rotary
Club
here
yesterday.
"Interest
in
the
Peace
River
district
by
citizens
and
organizations
in
Vancouver
has
in
the
past
and
is
today
one
of
non-contributing,
self-centred
and
selfish
concern,"
Mr.
Planta
declared.
"The
cry
is
'On-to-the-Pcace'
regardless
of
the
costs
involved
just
so
long
as
the

absorbs
the

"The

Mr.

TOKYO,

April

(CP)
A
Foreijrn
Of
f
ice
spokesman
asserted
today
that
Japan
will
act
positively,
if
necessary,
in
application
of
her
restated
China
policy
of
responsibility
for
Peace
in
East
Asia.
The
spokesman
told
a
foreign
correspondent
that
the
nature
of
the
action
to
be
taken
will
depend
upon
the
circumstances
in
each
case.
If
foreign
efforts
to
"disturb
peSce
in
Asia"
are
backed
forcefully,
he
said,
"Japan
herself
may
be
compelled
to
resort
to
force."
Japan
herself
must
determine,
the
spokesman
declared,
whether
foreign
attempts
to
aid
China
imperil
peace
and
order
in
East
Asia.
The
statement
of
policy
made
Tuesday
was
interpreted
by
foreign
diplomats
as
a
"hands
off
China"
policy
aimed
at
western
nations,
surpassing
even
the
broadest
claims
which
have
been
made
under
the
Monroe
Doctrine.
The
manifesto
set
forth
Japan's
responsibility
to
maintain
peace
in
East
Asia
and
voiced
objections
to
the
efforts
of
other
nations,
including
the
United
States,
to
help
Chinese
air
and
military
forces.
