It is surprising how many people
there are IL this world who want to
increase the discomforts Ct life. There
is always bobbing up some professor
or prQpagandist who informs us that
everything we have ever done is
wrong and that the only road to physi-
cal salvation is to follow his own
schedule. And now comes a man from
Chicago-where they know more
things which aren't so than in any
city in the woodland tells us that we
must not eat soup, pie, pancakes, pud-
dlngs and cold meats, except ham, and
apparently make our principal diet
spinach. asparagus, lettuce and on
ions. Probably most persons eat more
than is good for them and it is GER
tain that, generally speaking. food is
not we'll cooked. But to lay down a
law for the human race is absurd

Praise for the Japanese.

} ! am prompted to say this by the
attitude OF hostility here and there
sumed toward the japanese in this coun-
try. This hostility is sporadic and is
limited TO very few places. Neverthe-
less. II is most discrcditabIe TO us as
q people, and II may be fraught with the
gravest consequences 10 the Nation. The
friendship between The United States and
Japan has been continuous since the
time over half q century ago, when
Commodore Perry. by his expedition to
japan, first opened the Islands TO West
ern civilization. Since then the growth
OF japan has been literally astounding.
There is not, only nothing to parallel II,
but nothing 10 approach 1t in the his
tory OF civilized mankind. Japan has
& glorious and ancient past. Her civil
ization is older than that of the Nations
OF northern Europc-the Nations from

Of the Middle Ages. During that Nifty
years the progress OF the country In

II is a mistake. and it betrays q spirit

reasons for such action IS always a
Sign OF hypocrisy. This IL no more ne
icessarily true OF the action OF govern
ments than OF the action Of individuals
lit is sure sign OF base nature al
ways 10 ascrioe base motives for the
Nation can afford 10 disregard proper
considerations Of self interest any more
than private individual can so do.
But IL is equally true that the average
private citizen in any really decent COM
ulunity does many actions with reference
'lby f-in,erest. but by public spirit
by regard for the rights of others, by
Ia dislnterested purpose TO do good TO
Others, and 10 raise the tone OF the
community as whole. Similarly a
really great Nation must often act and
ward other Nations in spirit rot in
the least of mere self-interest, but pay
ing heed chiefly to ethical reasons; and
as the centuries go by this 6isinteV-
estedness IN international action. this
tendency Of the individuals comprising

Ithens, II is neither wise nor right for
O Nation TO disregard It's own needs. and

This subject was one Of the topics
OF consideration at the conference AT
Rio and a resolution was adopted by
that conference recommending TO the re-
spectiye Governments represented to
consider the advlsablity OF asking the
Second Peace Conference at The Hague
to examine the question of the compul-
sorry collection Of public debts. and In
general. means tending TO diminish among
Nations conflicts OF purely pecuniary or
Igin.'
This resolution was supported by the
representatives OF the United States in
accordance with the following instruc-
tions;
ut has long been the policy OF the
United States not to use armed force In
the collection OF ordinary contract debts
due to Its citizens by other Governments
We have not considered the use of force
for such a purpose consistent with that
respect for the Independent sovereignty
tions, which is the most important prin-
ciple OF international law and the CHIEF
protection OF weak Nations against the
oppression OF the strong. II seems to
us that the practice is injurious In its
! general effect on the relations OF Ma
tons and upon the welfare of weak and
disordered States (whose development
ought to be encouraged in the interests
OF civilization; that 1t offers frequent
and to unnecessary and unjustihabe war
fare. We regret that other powers. whose
opinions and sense of Justice we esteem
highly. have at times taken a different
view and have permitted themselves, al
though we believe with reluctance, to
collect such debts by force. II is doubt
less true that the non payment of debts
