after a great deal of trouble. finally
got the money back. Indeed l had a
similar experience myself, the Japan
csc having seized land to the value of
$1,000 which belonged to me. 1 went
to the japanese legation but it did no
good. Then l went to the United
States consul and finally, after a great
deal of trouble, the thing was straight
ened out.
This is but a sample of the way the
japanese are doing in the far east.
They are coming to control everything
and when the Panama canal is finish
ed. there will be little commercial use
for it unless something is done to stop
the Japanese in their career of con-
quest in the Orient.
."They will control everything and
will dominate the east to the exclusion
Of all other nations. 1t is for the
United States to watch out for this
and to conserve her trading points in
the east. l have no faith whatever in
their protestations of good will and
their willingness for an open door.
The policy of the Japanese as an
nounced and the policy as practiced
are two entirely different things. The
Koreans would be better off had they
never had any Japanese influence. They
are anxious to learn and my expert
ables me to speak authoritativeIy cs
this subject.
My object here is not so much to ex-
cite sympathy for the condition of the
Koreans as it is to awaken the United
States to the danger of commercial
dominance of the east by the Japan
ese and the danger of our being eX-
cluded from the trade of that country"

SIMPLY LACK
OF CONFIDENCE
Eastern FinanCier Talks on
Money Matters

1T is my opinion" said F. G. Green
burn, a wealthy businessman of
Cleveland, O., who is spending the day
in Walla Walla. en- route to Seattle,
that the So called panics in the east
are caused by the lack of confidence
among the people, and not because the
money conditions are questionable.
The blessing of plenty now reigns
throughout the east. l do not speak of
the conditions merely of the east but
Throughout; the United States as well.
We have had a bounteouHs cop: the
wages have in no wise decrease II
then why this rush on banks? = is
simply caused, in my opinion, fl iom TIE
fact that a certain company, or co1Ae
panies, on Wall street started the unz
founded. and l might say 'confounded
rumor that the money conditions were
Of such nature as to soon cause a
general panic. The rumOr spread, and
the consequence was that the small
fish more than the men of wealth, be-
gan to look after their currency. They
believed l. unsafe in the hands of the
banks and trust companies, and the
consequence was that they Immediate
ly withdrew their money.
During my short stay in your city
| have had the pleasure to talk with
many of your local merchants and
bankers l find the condition here nor
NAL. You have plenty of everything,
and l am happy to say that there is not
the slightest evidence of dissatisfac-
ton. The mere fact that several bank
Jig institutions in Nevada have tenn
pOrarily closed their doors is no eVi-
dence that the rush on banks will be
general throughout the northwest, or
even the west.
Is Not Worried.
The situation in the east, l consider
is in no way alarming. If l did l
assure you that instead of sightseeing
in the west, | would be at home at
tending to my. business affairs. a,pl in
cidenally providing for the future. AS
it is. | am satisfied that a great deal
OF the newspaper talk is exaggerated.
Il see by the papers that the situa-
ton in New York is being met by the
financial kings of the east. While j. ID.
Rockefeller. is coming to the rescue,
and extending the oil hand to the
needy. there is no question but that the
result will be as usual-inancial gain.
A. &c hnNpNnr the npOnlp OF the
cast, and by the people l mean the
former kings of finance, should be
grateful for the reserve guard, as ii
We're | repeat, it is only temporary
crisis and the people of the west
should in no way be alarmed.
