makes a similar complaint and. from
his own point of view. seemingly with
as much reason. Manners are, after
all only the small change Of courtesy.
and each civilization has its own coin
age evolved according TO It's social or
s.s,nlzation. The currency Of one may
bc unfamiliar. unintelligible even oh

is not entitled to pronounce Judgment
until il has studied the ''inwardness of
the system itself
The International currency Of man
ners whose gradual expansion is a
question of the spread Of a homogene-
Gus international social culture. is based
upon inrEate courtesy. There is in cir
culstior n counterfeit based ON boor-
ishness 7Tisen too rapidly TO social emf
nence through wealth. which at first
sight may look like the genuine coin.
It even rings louder. because whereas
good manners are mostly negative, bad
ones are self-assertiye National SUI
premacy is likely to beget national ar
rogance. which means international bad
manners So it was in the days of the
imperial Roman abroad in Greece
which rep4id him in yelled contempt.
So 1t was in the last century i'm the
case Of the rapidly enriched English
man without q background This coun-
try. too. mas had it's issue Of the false
coinage, which we hope is now in
process of withdrawal from circulation.
To-day. we are told. II is the turn of
the German. bursting with new pros
perity and Continental supremacy. and
ringing his spurious small change on the
counter Of international social inter
course
There is still another reason for the
deterioration of European manners-de-
mocracy in its first attempt to assert
itself. 30 pay its own way. socially as
well as politically. The spirit OF de-
mocraCy, beautiful in its maturity. is in
It's beginnings likely To be i'll hammered.
to coin a false social small change of
its own. because, from an age-old as
soCiation of ideas. II confounds courtesy
with continued subserviency. If we
passed through that period of demo-
cratic growth long ago, Western Europe
has only Just entered upon il. a pro-
letartat asserting its equality by ag-
gressive rudeness is likely to provoke
a similar defensive attitude i'll those
who. whatever the civic rights of the
matter, are socially superior, with the
result that the national manners suffer
from top 10 bottom, the deterioration
reacting upon the stock of interna
tional manners.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.
WANTS FACTS OF koTokU TRIAL

To the Editor OF The Tribune
Sir: Since the publication of our circular
regarding Dr. Denjiro kotoku and his com
raGes We have received promises of aid
from numerous organizations and promi-
nent individuals. In response TO our ap-
peal hundreds Of letters and telegrans of
protest have been sent to the Ambassador
OF Japan at Washington.
Some correspondents have requested US to
supply the facts concerning the couden-
nation of Kotoku and his comrades. but
the government of Japan has absolutely
suppressed all information in regard TO
the trial of kotoku ct Al. and the Japanese
press has been forbidden 10 publish any
report on the proceedings 1t is because
Of this very situation that our appeal on be
half of KotoI1u has been made: that is, TO
force the government of Japan TO repro
duce the proofs upon which Kotoku and his
comrades have been condemned for plot
ting against the imperial family
That the conditions in Japan are as
stated is admitted by Fotosada Zumoto,
chief of the Oriental Information Agency
No. So Nassau street, and even by the Con
sui General Of Japan NO. 60 Wall street,
The consul general, as well as Mr Zumeto
also said that the death penalty against
Kotoku and his comrades had been recon-
meuded by the special trial court, but mad
not Yet been approved by the highest
tribunal at Toxic. II is therefore more
urgent upon all lovers of justice TO make
their protest felt before it is too late.
Denjiro kotoku has devoted his abilities
and energies 10 the spreading Of uhertarlan
ideas in Japan Becoming familiar Win
socialist and anarchist thought, he found
ed a monthly review 'Tatsu kwa' ("iron

ideas Of communist anarchism, was sup
pressed by the authorities. and other maga-

II had been expected that the govern
ment would wait until its cases against
the Standard oil Company and the
American Tobacco Company had been
decided by the United States Supreme
Court before proceeding against any
other big industrial combination. But
the delay Of a year in these cases. due TO
vacancies in the court. has probably in
duced the government 10 begin the pres
enr suit against the so-called Sugar
Trust SO as to have il under way when
the other suits are decided. Obviously,
the prosecution Of this suit will depend
very much upon the courts stand in the
others.
Those suits. it is hoped. viii clear up
the laws application to big Industrial
combinations. An early decision in
previous prosecution Of the Sugar Trust
under the Sherman law led 10 the belief
that such combinations could not he
brought under that statute. but later de-
cisions of the court in other cases have
encouraged Attorneys General to make
the attempt again. in the belief that the
government failed in the knight case
not because ii could not show that such
combinations were in restraint Of inter
state trade. but because in that partic-
ular case il did not show the combina-
tion in question 10 be in such restraint
The decision in the knight case has been
the reliance of those who have cast the
big industrial combinations into their
present form. and il IS the chief reliance
OF the defence in the Tobacco and Stand
ard Oil eases. When the court speaks in
those two eases perhaps the application
Of the law to industrial combinations
