BERLIN, Feb. Q. (By MaiD.-Ger-
mans believe the next great war will
be fought between the United States
and Japan. with Holland possibly on
Americas side. Nowhere In America.
excepting perhaps on the Pacific
coast. is there such lively discussion
OF a Japanese-American conflict as i'm
Germany. Germans believe war be-
tween the two countries inevitable, be-
cause Japan wants the Philippines
and is restless under American immi-
grafton laws.
Seemingly, whenever the air is hll-
ed with reports Of a new Lusitania
crisis between Germany and the
United States. the Japanese-American
war talk is revived On a recent day
when the Lusitania negotiations were
reported to have reached a critical
point, the Berlin papers printed a dis
patch. declaring Japan had sent the
United States a yelled ultimatum, de-
manding that Japanese citizens be
allowed to land IN America without

However miserly and grasping the
owners OF capital may be. they can
not invest IL in industry except for
the satisfaction Of public wants and
when the investment is never with
drawn. and the proceeds are reinvest-
ed over and over for the same pur-
pose. il is as truly devoted 10 pub
lie use as though the title was pass
ed TO public officials. For what bet
ter could public officials do with It?
Indeed. the whole issue comes at
last to the question. whether these

will be most economically and effec-
lively handled by the men who have
made the fortunes or by the changing
public officials into whose hands Il
is proposed to place them.
"This statement is directed against
the conhscatOry purpose which
prompts a large part OF the agitation
for increased super-taXes upon large
incomes. Taxation to meet the neces-
saty expenses OF government, OF
course. is proper. and the principle
that those who can pay without sac
rifice should not only pay in proper
ton to their property holdings, but
more. when reasonably Interpreted, is
a sound one.
"Our entire system Of taxation is
very light upon the poor. The Gus
toms duties are levied mainly upor
articles consumed by well-to-do peo
ple. and the Federal Governments in
ternal taxation. although yieldinl
large sums. is upon articles that are
not necessaries. Local taxes arr
levied mainly upon real estate.
There is no serious objection t
a moderately graduated income tax
for the purpose Of raising necessar,
revenue, so long as the distribution o
taxation is broad enough to insure
general interest in the proper ant
economical administration OF the gov
ernment. A government from whicl
all derive benefits and in which al
narticipate should certainly hav
some~degree Of support from all no
only as a matter of right but becaus
