It also shows that the American sense Of equity i.

1t may be safely said that the Idea Of The Urfl

A JAPANESE ATTACK ON BRITAIN.
Attention Directed to the Neglect Of Education In In.
terest Of Big Navy.

Especial to The Post)
Toxic December 20.-Prof Takahashis vigorous
attack Great Britain made the other day before the
Young Mems Reform association has aroused much
favorable and unfavorabe comment here 1t is
thought strange that member of the faculty of the
imperial university should permit himself to use so
much license with reference to Japan's great and
powerful ally Others, however. think the professor
quite right in condemning the proposed expenditure
of more money on the navy In order to aid Great
Britain in the Far East while the wants of education
ignored.
Prof Takahash makes no Concealmcnt OF his on
position to the naval expansion program. He warns
his countrymen to beware Of England which has
showed in the past by her conduct her own colonies
that when she not strong enough to enforce her
viii she could contriye to utilize others for her pur-
pose.
1t is by no means unlikely that the professor will
be called to account for his words His references
to Great Brtains policy IN Afghanistan are consid
cred in court circles particularly offensive because
they smack of proRussiansm.
Another professor of the Imperial university, Dr.
Tomizu, who recently returned from Manchuria made
so serious an attack Russia the other day that his
colleagues have formally complained of him.
