HIS PROBABLE SUCCESSOR.

Tokio. Wednesday - The probable resignation of Viscount Aoki. the Jap anese ambassador to the United States. has been rumored some weeks but the rumor has been consistently denied IL is admitted now that Aoki may return to Japan at an early date. The for eign office declines to say this means the resignation of the ambassador. In the event that Aolxi- decides not to re- turn to Washington there Is strong probability that he will be succeeded by Baron Kaneko. former special en- voy to the United States, or Baron Chinda, vice minister at the foreign office. Baron Chinda is well known in America, where he was educated

the interests of all men are so closely jcrity of cases a straight dealing man. who by his efficiency, by his ingenuity and industry. benefits himself. must also benefit others. Normally. the man of great productive capacity who becomes rich by guiding the labor of many other men does so by enabling them to produce more than they could produce without his guidance; and
 both he and they share in the benefit. which comes also to the public at large. The superficial fact that the sharing may be unequal must never blind us to the underlying fact that that there IS this sharing, and that the benefit comes in some degree to each man concerned. Normally, the wage worker, the man of small means, and the average consumer, as well as the average producer. are all alike helped by making conditions such that the man of exceptional business ability receives an exceptional reward for his ability. Something can be done by legislation to help the general pros perity: but no such help of a perma- nently beneficial character can be giv- en to the less able and less fortunate, save as the results of policy which shall inure to the advantage of all in- dustrious and efficient people who act decently: and this is only another way of saying that any benfit which comes to the less able and less fortu- nate must of necessity come even more to more able and more fortunate. If, therefore. the less fortunate man is moved h. envy of his more fortunate brother to strike at the conditions un- der which they have both, though un- equally. prospered. the result will as- suredly be that while damage may come to the one struck at. 1t will visit with an even heavier load the one who strikes the blow. Taken as whole
 we must all go up or down together.
 "'Yet. while not merely admitting
 but insisting upon this, it is also true that where there is no governmental re straint or supervision some of the exceptional men use their energies
 not in ways that are for the common - good. but in ways which tell against this common good. The fortunes amassed through corporate organiza- ton are now SO large. and vest such power in those that wield them, as tC make 1t a matter of necessity to give to the sovereign-that is. to the gov ernment, which represents the people as a wholesome effective power oi supervision over their corporate use In order to insure a healthy :tcial and industrial life. every big corporation should be held responsible by. and bs accountable to, some sovereign strong enough to control its conduct. I an in no sense hostile to corporations
 This is an age of combination. and any effort to prevent all combination wil
 be not only useless. but in the enC vicious, because of the contempt fol law which the failure to enforce law inevitably produces. We should more over, recognize in cordial and ampl, fashion the immense good effected by corporate agencies in a country suct as ours, and the wealth of intellect

has done great good. Each should be favored so long as it does good. But each should be sharply checked where it acts against law and justice.
 "' The makers of our na- tional constitution provided especial ly that the regulation of interstate commerce should come within the sphere of the general government. The arguments in favor of their taking this stand were even then overwhelming But they are far stronger today, in view of the enormous development of great business agencies. usually corpor- ate in form. Experience has shown conclusively that it is useless to try to get any adequate regulation and super vision of these great corporations by state action. Such regulation and su pervision can only be effectively exer- cised by sovereign whose jurisdiction is co-extensive with the field of work of the corporations-that is. by the na tional government. l believe that this regulation and supervision can be ob- tained by the enactment Of law by the congress. Our steady aim should be by legislation. cautiously and carefully undertaken, but resolutely persevered in, to assert the sovereign ty of the national government by af- firmative action.
 ""This IS oni:' in form an innovation. In substance 1t is merely a restoration: for from the earliest time such regula ton of industrial activities has been recognized in the action of the law making bodies: and all that propose Is to meet the changed conditions In such manner as will prevent the com monweaith abdicating the power 1t has always possessed. not only in this country. but also in England before and since this country became a sep arate nation.
 It has been a misfortune that the national laws on this subject have hitherto been of a negative or prohlb- itive rather than an affirmative kind and still more that they have in part sought to prohibit what could not be effectively prohibited. and have in part in their prohibitions confounded what should be allowed and what should not be allowed. It is generally useless to try to prohibit all restraint on competition. whether this restraint be reasonable or unreasonable; and where it is not useless it is generally hurtful. The successful pros ecution Of one device to evade the law immediately develops another device to accomplish the same purpose. What Is needed is not sweeping prohibition of every arrangement. good or bad. which may tend to restrict competition but such adequate supervision and reg ulation as will prevent any restriction of competition from being to the det- riment of the public, as we'll as such supervision and regulation as will pre- vent other abuses in no way connected with restriction or competition
 'I have called your attention in these quotations to what have already said i because I am satisfied that it is the duty of the national government to embody in action the principles thus expressed.

Washington. Dec. 3.-The president sage to the senate and the house of representatives:
 No nation has greater resources than ours, and think it can truthfully said that every citizen of no nation possess greater energy and industrial ability. In no nation are the fundamental business conditions scunder than in ours at this very mo- ment; and !t is foolish. when such is the case. for people to hoard money instead of keeping it in sound banks; -for it is such hoarding that is the i'm mediate occasion of money stringency. Moreover. as a rula the business of our people is conducted with honesty and probity. and this applies alike to farms and factories, to railroads and
 ba nks, to all our legitimate commercial enterprises.
 In any large body of men. howev- CT, there are certain to be some who are dishonest. and if the conditions are such that these men prosper or com
 init their misdeeds with impunity. their
 example is a very evil thing for the community Where these men are business men of great sagacity and of temperament both interruptions and reckless. and where the conditions are
 such that they act without supervision
 or control and at first without effec- tive check from public opinion. they
 delude many innocent people into making investments or embarking in kinds of business that are really un- sound. When the misdeeds of these successfully dishonest men are discov- cred. suffering comes not only upon them. but upon the innocent men whom
 they have misled. It is painful awak-
 ening. whenever it occurs; and, natur- ' ally. when it does occur those who suffer are apt to forget that the long CT it was deferred the more painful | it would be. In the effort 10 punish the guilty it is both wise and proper to endeavor so far as possible to min imize the distress of those who have been misled by the guilty Yet it is
 not possible to refrain because of such distress from striving to put an end t0 the misdeeds that are the ultimate i causes of the suffering. and as a means to this end where possible to | punish those responsible for them. i There may be honest differences of ! opinion as to many governmental pol | icies; but surely there can be no such | differences as to the need of unflinch- ! ing perseverance in the war against successful dishonesty.
 A Reiterated Message.
 Tn my message to the congress on December 5, 1905, said: If the folly
 of man mars the general well being,
 then those who are innocent of the folly will have to pay the part of the
 penalty incurred by those who are 1 guilty of the folly. A panic brought on ' by the speculative folly of part of the 1 business community would hurt the
 whole business community: but such
 stoppage Of welfare, though it might { be severe, would not be lasting. In the long run, the one vital factor in the permanent prosperity of the country is the high individual character of the
 average American worker. the average American citizen, no matter whether his work be mental or manual, wheth-
 CT he be farmer or wage worker. busi- [ ness man or professional man.

Going Back to Tell About Immigration and Other Things.

Washington, Dec. 3.-Viscount Aoki garding the instructions given him by his government to return home for the purpose of making a report on affairs in which Japan is interested jointly with the United States. The ambassa- dor cordially received a representative of the Associated Press and appeared in cheerful mood.
 II am going home," he said, for the purpose of making a verbal repor; to my government. There are many things to report on. things I have heard and seen in this country The report can be made better verbally than in writing. There is no other significance to my visit. l shall discuss immigra- ton in addition to other questions in which my government is interested My return cannot be construed in any way as an indication of unfriendliness on the part of Japan for the United States. The American government knows very well that Japan is dis posed to be one of its best friends. Any other suggestion would be foolish
 
 tion is not at all serious one and in my judgment will be settled satisfac- torily My return, I repeat, has no bearing on the relations between the United States and Japan. Our rela- tions are friendly and l hope will re- main so. There is no reason why they should be otherwise, but on the con- trary. every reason why they should continue good"

At the state department it was learned that Aoki did not present letters of recall but that what he received was a summons government
 It IS not known at the department whether Aoki would return to the United States. The impression was that the ambassador himself was not aware of his future movements Aoki received word on Saturday that his government wanted him to come home and he lost no time in acquainting the state department with that fact. The most positive statement is made at the Japanese embassy that Aoki's recall was not the result of any dissatisfac- tion with his course on the part of his government or that it in any way dis avows his actions while here.
