8 BATTLESH|PS
NEEDED EVEN
IN PEACE
Colonel Graves Points Out "Ami-
cable Settlement" Must Be
Due to Jap Failure.
By JOHN TEMPLE eRAVEsE.

WASHINGTON, June 3O-A very
high official of the Government goes
so far as to say that The Japanese
question is no longer serious"
The same official has expressed
views Numerically opposite within
the last two weeks.
1t is understood that the recent
resignation Of the Minister of War
from the Japanese cabinet and the
substitution for him of an official who
is committed to the policy of peace
of Toxic and Of Washington, has
been of special interest to the Sec
, rotary Of State and OF the Japan
7 csc ambassador.
Rumors Say Peace,
II has given a forward impetus
to the rumors floating about the
State Department that a basis Of
anicable settlement" has about been
reached
The Hearst papers for a week past
have reported an official atmosphere
that indicates some present under
standing between the Premier Of
Japan. his ambassador here and the
American Secretary of State.
It is difficult for the readers Of
the recent diplomatic correspond
ence and for the student Of inter-
national affairs to see how the
Japanese contention can end so
softly and harmlsssly as assurances
at Washington would have the pub
lie understand.
The Japanese had an apparently
vital contention upon which they
have never received any satisfaction.
The Japanese are a brave and
martial people absolutely seif-con-
fdent in war. The Japanese know
that they are prepared as we are
unprepared for war. They have
much to gain by war and this is
their time of all times to enter upon
It,
Jap Failure the Reason.
If the Japanese contention is to
end now, as the very high official
most positively asserts, il can only
mean that Japan has failed to make
a satisfactory neutrality treaty with
Russia. or to find the finances for
struggle with the United States over
the vital question of racial Integrity
and national honor.
Before the American people per-
init themselves to be lulled to sleep
bv official assurance they will wish
to know something definite about
Japan's money chest, and the sue
cess or failure of the recent en-
deavor to neutralize Russia.
Until then it is good policy to be
amiahle but alert. and to press upon
the Sixty third Congress the I'M
