To characterize such a notion as err

Fol illustration, take the following
from the Chuwo of February 1, dis

pei Japan to sit quietly by while she
makes a dependency of China by

of such views of our ambitions does
not make the statements less harmful
IN their effect on the Japanese people.
To tell the Japanese that we have i'm
perial ambitions in Asia is the surest
way to stir up feeling against us. And
1T seems impossible hat the men who
wave this scare-head really believe it
themselves.
Sometimes the suggestions of the
press are even more specifically erro-
neous, to call them by no harsher
name. For a single instance: It was
published in a vernacular paper in
China, '7hile the japanese were NOV

sending a fleet to protect China's neu-

the item, and wrote red-hot editorials

ran over with hostile comment, if the
Germans published a yearbook stat
ing openly hat they were planning

French press proclaimed that we were

When the Japanese press takes lines
similar to all of these, why do we ig-

1t is due largely to the fact hat the
American public knows little about it.

extricate the wreck, the patrol boat
steamed away for Dover with her pris-

the way here and it was hoped to cap
ture her also.
