FROM THE ORIENTAL PRESS HERE AND ELSEWHERE

While up to the present Japanese
commerce and industry have been
under the domination of the West, ia
pan should now make change and
exert herself for worldwide recogni-
ton. The best time to do this Is the
present, while Europe is engaged 9TH
erwise and the greatest commercial
states are too busy to modest us. At
present England and France are too
much taken up with the war to take
much interest in competition, while
Germany, which has made the poverty
stricken East her unwilling customer,
Is now surrounded and cut off from
maintaining her commerce abroad.
The whole trade field of the Orient
lies open to japanese commerce and
it will be her own fault. We have
thus the rarest Of chances for unusual
development.
1t is necessary that the nation
should see also to the completion of
its preparations for ornamental ex-
pansion The whole nation should be
drilled and ready to defend the en-
pire in time of emergency. The pre-
sent method of keeping small num-
Der of young men In barracks for long
intervals is not only uneconomical but
impractical; for those so drilled, to
the exclusion Of others, might all be
killed in battle and then no trained
soldiers would be left to take their
places. What Japan wants is univer-
sal military service. The whole ma
ton must be ready to bear arms If
need be.

WISE Mr.. WOOD.
From the Japan Advertiser.O

(From the Japan Adyertiser.)
About month ago the Advertiser
.endeavored to bring some cold facts
to bear on an editorial which appeared
in the San Francisco Examiner assum-
ing that war between Japan and the
United States was inevitable. The
assumption was based on facts pub
lished by Mr.. Henry A. Wise Wood in
a memorandum which he submitted
to high official of the Washington
administration. The text of the mem
orandum, which has just been sent
US by a correspondent, shows that 1t
outlined supposed plan of campaign
by which Japan was to seize the Phil
ippines and Hawaii, making Homo
lulu a base for the invasion of the
Pacific coast with an army which APP
parently was to come from South
America. The plan was worthy of
film drama. But the inimitable touch
is supplied in the account given Of its
source. The valuable memorandum
was prepared by an American,
vouched for by Mr.. Wood, who says
that after years of association with
the Japanese in the Hawaiian Islands
and the Pacific coast he gained access
to the plans whereby they were con-
fident they could attain their ambi-
tions." Long years of association
with the Japanese of Hawaii and the
Pacific coast may be aducative or
otherwise, according to the people as
sociated with, but 1t is scarcely con-
vincing as method of gaining access
to the secret plans of the war office.
No wonder the writer in the Chicago
Tribune who reported the matter add
ed: The administrator is making no
investigation of the remarkable state
ments contained in the memorandum
Administration officials are not in
clined to place much faith in the ale
cations. They do not believe Japan
is meditating aggression on the United
States. At the japanese embassy it
was merely stated that the memoran-
dunn was a tissue of falsehood and
fancy not worthy of being dignified
with a denial The phrase puts the
matter In a nutshell and nothing need
be added to it. The odd thing Is that
Mr.. Wise Wood was known in Japan
some 20 years ago when he posed as
great friend of this country.
