Since Tatsu Maru Incident, Hostility

Tokyo, Japan-Japan is becom-
ing bitterly anti-British. Ugly charges
of treachery against the Mikado's Oc-
cidental ally are heard everywhere
except, indeed, from the highest gov
eminent officials, who are too diplo-

they feel.
Hatred of the English is the key
note, however, of nearly every COM
mercial and minor political gathering

the streets. Threats of Japanese alb
sorption of British Oriental commerce.,
both by land and sea; of extension of
the Mikado's circle of influence to In
dta and Australia, and even of an
armed clash in China, are heard from
sources, some of which are exalted
enough to hint at really serious devel-
opments.
Japan's refusal to permit the palal-
leling of its Manchurian railroad by an
English company would have brought
matters to q crisis if Downing Street
had not yielded.
