tiOns-Declares the People, Not
Governments. Now Make Peace or
Strife Between Countries.

1t was pointed out yesterday that the
attitude Of the administration In the Jap
anese troubles had been outlined by Sec
retary Root IN his address before the
American Society Of International Law
on April 19 What Mr.. Root said then,
It was explained. applies as strongly 10
the conditions that now confront the
United States as it did 10 the conditions
10 which Mr.. Root referred. Mr. Root
said.
'"All the foolish talk about war was
purely sensational and imaginative
There was never even friction between
the two governments; the question was,
What state Of feeling would be created
between the great body Of the people Of
the United States and the great body OF
the people Of Japan as a result Of the
treatment given TO the japanese IN this
country?
What was 10 be the effect upon that
proud. sensitive. highly civilized people
across the Pacific, Of the discourtesy. in
suit imputations Of imfrmity, and abuse
aimed al them ia the columns Of Ame-i-
can newspapers and frem the platforms
Of American public meetings? What
would be the effect upon our own people
Of the responses that natural resentment
for such treatment would elicit from the
Japanese
Mr. Root went on 10 speak OF Com
modore Perry's treaty with Japan and
the friendship which IL began, and pro-
cecdad as follows.
Il IS hard for democracy 10 learn
the responsibilities Of its power; but
tho people now. not governments make
friendship or dislike sympathy OF dis
cord. peace or war between nations. In
this modern day. through the columns
of the myriad press end messages fash
ing over countless wires. multitude calls
10 multitude. across boundaries and
oceans. in courtesy or insult. i'm amity
or defiance. Foreign Offices and ambas-
s1dors and ministers no longer keep or
break the peace. but the conduct OF
each people toward every other.
9Th" people who permit themselves
20 treat the people Of other countries
with discourtesy and insult are surely
sowing the wind 20 reap the whirIwind
for world Of sullen and rcvengeful
hatred can never be a world of peace
Against such q feeling treaties are
