WILL THERE BE WAR WITH JAPAN?

TN HIS important question will be
fully answered in a striking
Il series of articles on the eastern
situation by our special correspondent,
FREDERIC j. HAsk'N
beginning in The Los Angeles Herald
next Sunday. April 5, and continuing
daily for several weeks.
While the government officials ana
business men of both the United states
and Japan are determined, II posslnie'
to prevent trouble between the TWO
countries the cooIie question is such an
acute issue in the Pacific coast states
and in Hawaii, and the jingo element
in Japan is so bitter in it's hostility
TO Americans that no one can tell
what complications may arise. While
all those in authority speak disparag-
ingly of the likelihood of serious
trouble it being their duty to exercise
tact and diplomacy, the situation Is
manifestly so serious that the pres
ence of the monstrous fleet in Pacific
waters is considered a necessity.
