Japan have been several times

United States. which regulates
spheres OF influence. and which
has cast aside its dollar diplo-

this. II had expected better things
OF japan. especially In the face OF
the ruin of Europe. due In large
part to this same system. But
we are not very sure OF any OF
. the facts In the case, and II Is
best for a time TO reserve our
Judgment.
On the other hand there are
several points to be considered.
China has been in commissions"
more than once and may be again.
This process Involves large risks
to Japan. a nation whose neces-
sary expenses are very great and
whose economical position Is pre-
carious- Japanese statesmen have
pictured their nation as sitting on
the edge OF volcano. a condition
in which IL is necessary TO secure
all possible safeguards. II has
long been recognized that ia
pans problem is China. The
Japanese have a genius for order
and discipline. The Chinese have
little of this. and japanese police
and advisers may help to steady
her incohate body polite. In
character and in temperament the
japanese and Chinese are as far
apart as any two races can be.
Each race has its virtues. but not
the same virtues. Their only
point OF union Is the TACT that
they are neighbors. II England
or Germany had a neighbor like
that. each would endeavor in its
own fashion to insure Itself
against eruption. Why not ia
PAM
South Manchuria was the seat or
war with Russia. The Japanese
have left nearly 100000 OF their
bravest young men on the road
between Port Arthur and Muk-
den. and the people at large seem
TO believe that this rich farming
country, the scene OF their many
victories, is theirs by ngnt OF
conquest.

looks stiil more desirable.
Again. the demands OF Japan
represent "a vigorous gorefgn
policy. Such a policy Is costly
and liable TO meet with humilaat-
Ing rebuffs. But this month was

these votes.
As TO the japanese newspapers

cious statesman. At least two OF
his cabinet-Kato and Ozaki-are
known to be two OF the ablest and
most broad-minded men OF "a
pan. II Is plain enough and IL has
always been plain. that no group
having any influence In Japan
has any plans adverse TO the in
terests Of the United States. Tne
principle OF the open Door" is
one which Is not likely TO be VIC
lated. at least for any continuous
period. The legitimate interests
OF the United States and those or
Great Britain lie solely in the di-
ricetion OF the freedom OF China.

The more important question is
that OF the rights OF Chino. II
China Is really a sovereign state,
the key TO her doors should be
In her own hands. and she should

ports. as Japan has done. II
China is not a sovereign state,
but the last great watermelon"

on. the Adventures will clash
again in her fields and the nnaI
result IS beyond our guessing.
Meanwhile we may keep our

war, and feeling reasonable GER

no part OF our duty as a nation
to see that eny OF our citizens
make money in China or any
where eles. All that we ask for
Is justice and fair play.
