THE STUFF THAT WARS ARE MADE OF.
War talk breeds war.

War talk breeds war
Senator Phean's sensational statements be
fore the National Civic Federation in Washing
ton are the very sort Of stuff most likely to
stir up bitterness between Japan and the
United States. One or two such speeches as
this will offset months of work by men like DR.
Sidney L. Gulck
Japan will not war with the United States
over the question of japanese exclusion unless
the quick national pride Of the Nipponese is
hurt beyond pacifcation. Sober discussion of
the question is what is needed, not sensational
predictions.
Not for many years if at all is there likeli-
hood that the economic pressure in Japan will
seriously endanger the United States. Japan S
political and economical policy is now bound
up with that of China. 1t is across the Japan
Sea and the Yellow Sea that the eyes of Japan
csc statesmen and captains of industry are
turning, not across the Pacific. Indeed, there
is very shrewd suspicion among students of
Oriental affairs that Japan protests against
the California alien land law and other compo
nent issues of the Exclusion question" are
kept plargely to divert attention from Toxic S
Chinese. policy.
Senator Phelan manfestly is talking on be-
half of California. But the effect of his belli-
cose utterances will be lodged not against Cali
foFnia alone but against the whole country, in
the minds of millions of japanese Americans
who have never been in Japan cannot under
stand with what minute care every anti
japanese reference is eabed or written to
Nippon and spread IN the vernacular news
papers. The explanation is in the peculiarly
sensitive spirit of this nation. They have in a
few years jumped from medieval isolation to-
the limelight of forced, modernity, and they
are, beyond any other people, jealous of their
new world position. EVERY criticism. or fancied
slur from the outside hurts or Anglers And the
Japanese governments pronounced stand in
the California land issue has set every subject
of the Mikado to watching developments. They
are in precisely the frame of mind to conclude
from. speeches like that of Phelan's that
America is preparing for war definitely with
Japan.
If the economic factor will not soon bring
the nations face to face-and We firmly believe
it will not-there remains only proper adjust
ment of the exclusion issue. This can be ac-
complished by diplomacy, mutual considera-
ton, education and discreetness. The very
men who talk publicly of war with Japan are
the chief menaces to peace.

TREATIES WITHOUT BACKING.

A good deal of wisdom is compressed into
the following paragraph, from prize-winning
essay on preparedness by Columbia Univers-
ity student:
The anti-preparationist arguments are fall
lacious- Treaties are beneficial, but they are
not security against the warriors greed. Lack
of preparedness, furthermore, not only weak
ems an existing treaty, but cripples the power
to make satisfactory ones. The opponents of
preparedness contend also that we have enough
latent fbrce to repel any invasion. Do they re-
call that Washington was sacked and burned

PAVING PROGRESS.

/ Property-owners and supervisors have dem
onstrated that they are able to dwell together
/ in unity. -:.:: F.. ...-
Last nights meeting of the board was the
sort of meeting the plain, ordinary citizen is
well repaid for attending. The public hearings
on the Kalakaua avenue and Beachwalk paw
ing projects brought out discussion that was
extremely enlightening and valuable And the
whole temper Of the meeting was the best. The
few retorts exchanged were SO good humored
that even those at whose expense they were
made could not help joining in the smiles and
laughter. .=.-@=. -. i f.. ~
1t was a meeting in which property owner
and supervisor each showed willingness to
meet the other half way. As a result, the very
important Kaakaua paving project has been
saved from almost certain defeat. The prop
erty owners indicate that they will waive their
request that the city pay half instead of one
third of the total cost; and the supervisors,
confronted with the strong stand of the prop
erty-owners in favor of warrenite, indicate that
they will accept this type of paving
The informal talks by city officials, ansi-
neers and other interested citizens quite JUST
fed the action taken on the Kalakaua project.
Impartial anu SOOu JUICES Sucil DIS loIllleI NllIN
Engineer G.. III. Gere argue that concrete roads
are still in the experimental stage, though the
experiment is very promising, and that the
owners on Kalakaua are unwilling to
experiment. For this reason they prefer war
renite, whose value has been demonstrated in
some instances here. On the other hand, the
Beachwalk residents, paying 100 per cent of
the cost of their improvements, are willing to
pioneer the way in experimenting with con
crete-in fact, they are taking pride in this
pioneer work and hopefully believe that when
comes between the paving of these
two adjacent districts, Beachwalk will emerge
with the honors. "=
|. Now comes the real test Will the attitudes
shown last night be maintained, or will some
petty kicker come along and delay the improve
ment again? .."s#
IF all parties concerned stand by what they
approved last night, Kalakaua avenue will be
paved in short order. If there is back-down
DR. a change of front, this main thoroughfare
will continue to be an abomination instead OF
what it should be-a splendid boulevard.
