Manila, Apr. 3.
Incressing apprehension in American and Filipino military and political circles was noted here today as a result of Japan's easy occupation first of Hainan Island and now of Spratley Island.
Both islands are regarded as being of great strategic importance to the Philippines and Philippine officials are watching with great interest to see what American, British and French reaction will be. Philippine officials believe the reaction of the democratic Powers will be an accurate indication of their future policies in the Far East.
"By no stretch of the imagination," the "Manila Bulletin" said today, "can Japan's occupation of Spratley Island be related to Japanese conquest of China. The seizure of these commercially insignificant reefs gives Japan a central base in a vast area which she claims to be her sphere of influence. The seizure of the island is a new affront to the French and an increasing threat to the Philippines."—United Press.
