CAN BE TOO PEACEFUL.

Peace at any price is not always
desirable. War is deplorable; it is
even all that Gen. Sherman called it,
but there come times when nations,
as we'll as individuals, must stand
for their rights and be prepared to
defend them or lose them. Peace is
beautiful thing to contemplate,
but peaceful ways lead to timidity and
the peaceful and easy are usually
dominated and taken advantage of by
the holder and less scrupulous.
Note the ease of poor old China.
For centuries peace has been a part
of her religion. Today her vast
undevelOped resources and her press
ing need are known and her cocky
little neighbor Japan, less than one
tenth her size, proposes to rob her of
vast territory and TO dictate what she
shall do as TO making laws, leasing
territory, borrowing money and build
ing railroads.
China has population Of four
hundred million people. Were that
nation vitalized and mOdernized as
Japan has been, she would be one of
the greatest Of world powers, but her
peaceful ways for centuries has made
Der helpless to and unprepared to
resent insult or resist aggression.
Other nations look with disfavor
upon the attitude Of Japan. but other
nations, except the United States.
