JAPAN'S FRIENDSHIP WOULD
NOT STAND THE ACID TEST

| q Its .permanency as the fervid
passages in a school girls auto
graph album. On order of the en-
peror those smiles would turn to
scowles and this love surrender to
hate. The official protestations of
friendship were likewise spoken
with degree of sincerity, and
they will be repeated with equal
sincerity until such time as the in
terests of the United States and
the Empire of Japan come in con-
f1ict, as they are certain ultimately
to do. Then to the credit of this
remarkable island empire, which
within a half century has come
from a mere dot on the worlds
map to a position among the most
powerful nations, every man, wom-
an and child in Japan will forget
all about Commodore Perry and
will, if called upon by the emperor.

gage in a death struggle with their
erstwhile friend.
They know but the emperor and

out any empirical ambitions of the
government the people of Japan
Will act as a unit 1t must be also
remembered in this connection that
friendly relations with America at
this time is absolutely necessary
to Japan.
The statesmen of Japan are con-
fronted with as serious a series of
problems at the present as ever
were imposed on group of men
for solution.

gle with Russia before the griev
Gus national wounds received in
the last war are healed.
Then there is the CALLING yoke
which must be eased. But to the
everlasting credit of these people
let it be said that the heroism
which they displayed on the
field Of battle has been followed
with an equal display of patriotic
fortitude In the accomplishing way
in which they have submitted to a
taxation which in many countries
would have led to popular demon
stration against the government.
Then there is the problem of sur.
plus population, which had resolved
itself into battle for individual
existence. With the closing of the
doors against Asiatics by America,
Japan was denied an outlet for her
teeming horde of coolies, and only
the acquisition of Korea gave her
a breathing spell. Korea will soon
be filled to overlooking and the
Japanese statesmen now recognize
that there can be no fusing of their
people with Anglo-Saxons, and that
only international unrest can come
from the emigration of japanese to
a white mans country. So it can
be seen that Japan, almost bank
rupt, with a powerful and merci-
less enemy preparing to grapple
with her again as soon as the
Anglo-Japanese treaty expires. and
with serious internal
problems, must of necessity court
friendly relations with America
though every Japanese statesman
knows that the expanding zones of
influence of the two nations in the
Far East will ultimately meet and
offer a most serious problem for

EXPORTING BILL
!: HUNG Up
BOARD OF WORKS WANTS TO
KNOW ABOUT CITY ENGI-
NEER's- DEAL BEFORE Ex-
PENSE IS ENnORcEn

LNS6 10 GNOSu06Ds
The board of public works has
called upon City Engineer Ralston
for some facts as to the terms and
conditions of his employment of
Waddell & Harrington as consult
ing engineers on the bridge plans
prepared by Ralston. At the time
Ralston was authorized by the city
council to submit his plans for ex-
porting by some outside engineers,
but placed no limitation on the
amount to be expended. Afterward
the board of public works, feeling
that the contracting of all such OBJ
legations against the city fell to its
lot and not to that of the city engi-
neer, asked the city council to au-
thorize it to make the financial ar
rangements for Mr.. Ralston's ex-
porting.
The council paid no heed to the
request of the rodfaobg ..vtof- y
request of the board of public
works and placed its communica-
ton on file. Now two bills for the
exporting charges have come in
and have been referred to the
board of public works for making
requisition, but Chairman Wetzel of
the board pleads mot guilty Hav-
ing no information or connection
edness, he has refuse dto place his
o. X. on the bills until Mr.. Ralston
comes through"
Hence the occasion for the adop-
ton of the order requesting Mr..
Ralston to enlighten the board.
