and used by japan merely pretext for the hostile
designs which the and Government have
long been preparing against the United States
Japan's vaulting Ambition
With close Of the with Russia Japan conceived
the idea Of controlling the mass of manufacturing and
Asia By that species Of ntrgues, evasions and
dupcty which is notorious among Orientals, but which
laid to hamper American trade and commerce by
indirect methods which japan could arrange under
of its position and influence in shaping the internal affairs
of China where ample opportunity exists for manpula-
ton of traffic regulations ETC.
In spite of efforts conceal such ntrsues against
American commerce the duplcity apparent that
very many of the most thoughtful and competent OBJ
European have for than year past
confidently and firmly predicted between japan and
the United States
With these predictions before us what is real con-
