able to threaten the commerce or a
large part of western Europe, just as
it now practically holds the club over
the whole foreign trade Of Germany
and Russia and the Low countries. IN
a precisely similar way the Japanese,
with naval stations stretching from
Korea to Making, have 1t in their
power, in case of need, practically to
stop the foreign trade Of China; and
in the event of war, this would prove
a weapon of the very highest impor-
lance. In the event of such a strug-
gle, it is highly improbable that Japan
would consent to let pass unframed
merchant ships bound for Chinese
ports. The question would not be one
of contraband of war. 1t would be
the wider question of Japan's allowing
the passage of cargoes to her enemys
ports, there to pay customs duties into
her enemys treasury, and thus to In.
crease her enemys capacity for
waging war. Unless she resorted to
commerce destruction, Japan would
not make a positive gain in wealth by
this stoppage of commerce to Chinese
ports. But she would make pre-.
cisely equivalent gain by Gripping her
enemys resources.-N. Y. Times.
