JAPAN WANTS
 PHILIPPINES
 SAYS WRITER
Lillian Scott Troy Fears England, Japan and Carnegie Are in Alliances Against United States

| Duke of Connaught. Lieutenant Low i ther says that he suggested a solution | of the Japanese tang Q to Colonel i RooSeVelt-namely, that the U. s. A. cilities they asked for in California, | on condition that the Empire of the Rising Sun should take over the Phil
 ippines from the United States.
 Lowther has embodied two shots for one bird:-
 Firstly, the flooding of the United | States with cheap coolie labor will l reduce wages, thus gradually making 1 it more difficult for the man in ordin- ary circumstances to spare enough money to support his children during the time they should be in school, and dren's education to be reduced to the level of the children of the poor in England, which would tend in a very short time to make for a sharp class distinction, or ''flliterate rabb e.'' This latter class is regarded as very desir- able in England, IS the more ignorant the flower classes the more easily | they are controlled.
 Secondly, Japan wants the Philip pines. Her alliance with England was made for one purpose, and that was, by the careful and cunning treading of certain intricate and complicated paths of diplomacy. to bring about the peaceful, or otherwise militant, ! absorption of the Philippines. Eng 1 lands alliance with Japan was 1naOG
 to offer the tempting bait of the Phil | ippines as reward for services
 which Japan must be ever prepared and ready to offer-if necessary, What about the Japanese coaling station recently discovered in Mexi- co? Preparation2
 What about S0,0OO Japanese exC?)- soldiers now in Hawaii, Philippines, British Columbia, Mexico, and Cali fornia? Preparation?
 Lieutenant Colonel Lowther has held the post of naval attache; his advice has been highly appreciated in the de- Alterations of his government; he has Ia tely accompanied the uncle of the King of England to the United States as military secretary and otclaE mouthpiece; therefore let no one dis count his set idea of what our policy with the Philippines should be: man so strictly trained in the policy and
 diplomacy of his government speaks with authority, from his King and government.
 Should a suggestion be made to Congress that ''it will be next to i'm possible to hold the Phi ippines with, h, out increasing our army, which will
 entail a great burden of expense on the United States it will be well to investigate the company the Suggester of this statement has been keeping;
 also if it is his own opinion, or if it is the opening wedge to the proposal of the English officer, Lieutenant Colonel Lowther, military secretary and ot1-
  naught, to turn over the Philippines to the Empire of the Rising Sun.'' The opening chapter of Lieutenant Colonel LoWther's book, in it's general xaggera ton of IawleSSnesS in the United Staes, has he ped to cement
 the idea in the English mind that the United States must come under Brit ish rule speedily.
 Simultaneously with the publication of this British officers book depict ing Americans as a lot of wholesale murderers, devoid of the slightest honor or courage, and comparing them detrimental y to the gentlemen he had known in Pal Mall, he was scattering broadcast in New York and Washington his hyocr4tical expression of admiration for ''the great Repub- lie and the American people, His comparison of the Canadian soldier to the United States soldier leaves noth- ing to be admired in the American soldier. In fact.( every reference to anything or anybody in America is teeming with contempt and bitterness. Even the cubs in the United States,
 hospitality, he refers to with sneering contempt, and, to be accurate, one must say that many of his statements
 regarding the people whose bread he broke are devoid Of the merits of truth.
 The inefficiency of the senators and representatives is systematically ad- vertised to the British public in clev-
 
 articles and books. The English DOT tion of the British public are not over given to thing for themselves; when they read that India must be govern are at once with their government; and now that they are daily and weekly being fed on the suggestion that the United States has complete Iy gone to the bow-bows, and can only be saved if she throws herself
 into British arms, they won't let go of
 the idea, and will help to man to
 "Carnegian Peace"
 Even MT A Maurice Low, an Eng
 Iishman who has lived in the United
 States for 20 years, teIs his country
 men the following in his book on America:
 Secrecy is often esential in nego-
 tiations, but secrecy is impossible
 to the Senate The Senate is not pop
 ular in the country at large.''
 He goes on to explain that members
 of the Senate are certain to break
 executive sessions He also says.
 ''it is generally believed that members of Congress as a body are corrupt Lest some of my statements regard

 cans be doubted, I am going to give
 a few extracts from a book written
 by an Englishman during the last
 term of the eX-President in the White House. While the actual literary merits of this book may be nil, it's long and complicated sentences ob-
 scure and badly constructed, and it's syntax amateurish, nevertheless its
 purpose and it's thinly yelled meaning
 is as clear as crystal Every page of
 this book shows malice; every para graph venom. When I first began to read this boOk-on the recommen- datfon of another English writer that I would find out some truths about my own country-I naturally suppos- ed the publication to be a sort of
 freak idea; but on closer inVestiga- ton of all books written by Eng fsh- men about the United States I found that nearly all of these books con tained far-fetched lies and calumnies written with pens that were steeped in bitter jealousy, detestation and ha- tired. Americans who favor "Carne- Sie Peace,' otherwise called ''Absorp- tion,' vii do well to read ''Y. Amer ica's Peril" The is intended to mean Yankee. This book is inter sely popular in England. no less person-
