how Americas interests and principles
force her to stand in the way of poli-
cies to which Japan is driven by ma
tional necessity.
Yet Japan's militarism does not nee
essarily mean war. Militarism has
other uses. Japan is a believer in the
doctrine of force. in the principle that
a nations position and influence are
dependent on its military strength. Her
beliefs are the natural fruit of her own
experience. When she was weak, she
was a toy in the hands of Europe. Her
very import duties were set for her by
foreign nations. The spoils of the
Chino-Japanese war were snatched
from her at the moment Of victory be-
cause she was powerless to resist
Then she became strong. AS her
own statesmen point out. her real in
huence dates from the day of her
strength. Backed by the prestige of
her victory over Russia. by the fact
that Europe knew the strength of her
army and navy and their efficiency. she
became a world power the dominant
figure of the orient. She allied her
self on equal terms with the worlds
greatest naval power, Great Britain.

HOW ABOUT JAPAN?
X.-0ur Turn to Play.
By Frederic ]. Haskin.

Why is Japan straining all her re-
sources in the building of battleships
today? why has she increased her
army by two divisions. with the pros
pect of further increases in the near
future?
Long ago the European experts
pointed out the impregnability of
Japan's domestic position. No nation
on earth can even threaten her suprem-
acy in far eastern waters. with the
sole exception of her ally, Great Brit
ain. Her home territory is absolutely
unassailabIe, in the words of the eX-
perts. ''by any power or combination
of powers" Yet she appropriates one
hundred million dollars toward carry
ing out her naval program. Yet she
increases her army.
OF all first class nations Japan can
afford such expenditures least Her
taxes are already staggeringly heavy
they have been increased six times in
wealth of natural resources to draw on.
Life for her congested population is a
far sharper struggle than in the occi-
dent. even without the added burden of
a great militarism. 1t is inconceivable
that nation in such circumstances
would plunge into reckless military ex-
without some imm ediate
and definite purpose in view. In the
case of Japan that purpose cannot be

in the value of great army and navy.
Now her policy is on the eve of run
ming counter to the policies of the Unit
ed States Her
Course in China probable course in
China is clearly
Clearly Shown. indicated bv her
past course in Korea and Manchuria.
Such course will result in the cutting
off of American commerce and industry
from the immense Chinese field. at
time when that field is more valuable
than ever before to our expanding in
dustrial development. Japan needs the
Chinese market. and she proposes to
take it. More than that, she proposes
to use the United States as the means
of reaping its benefits. Unable to cope
with the task of developing China alone
she wants to do the work OF employing
the financial strength of the United
States. American capital will be forced
to apply itself through japanese chan
nels if it is to be applied at all. Japan
is compelling China to put the rights of
entry and development into japanese
hands. The open door is being turned
into a tollgate with Japan behind the
wicket.
The question is not only one of dol
lars. 1t is not primarily one of dol
lars. 1t is primarily question of prin-
ciple. and in that question America
stands for the right. This country to-
day is passing through an acute revul-
sion from a former weakness for self
fattery. The soul-searchings raised by
the great war have punctured good
many bubbles of national egotism. But
our Chinese record bears the test. We
stand in China for a square deal-just
treatment for Chinese. for Japanese. for
Europeans, for Americans; a fair field
and no favors. We are asserting the
fundamental principles of our repub-
licanism and our democracy. There is
more than money at stake in China.
Japan has also the problem of her
surplus population to deal with Her
chosen outlet for that population is
across the Pacific. Her stumbling
block is the Monroe doctrine.

Her blows at Russia put new COM
plexion on the relation of half the
world to the other half. They de-
stroyed at one stroke the old belief
in the innate superiority of the occi-
dental. Japan gained a new status for
every oriental and for herself the place
of leader and representative of the
orient-and she gained it by force.
