Oriental secretiveness.

From the Des Moines Capital.
The Chicago Tribune comments on
the scarcity of news that emanates
from Toxic and Peking. Telegraph
editors may go for months without
realizing that Japan and China and
the Philippine Islands exist. When
news does arrive it's significance is
rarely understood and 1t is trimmed to
a minimum" In contrast to this, the
Tribune points out the great volume
of news that comes daily from Eu-
rope in times of peace as well as in
war.
1t Is only another evidence OF the
craftiness of the Oriental, which
passeth the understanding of the Cau-
casian. AS for news, we read of hap
penings In Japan only what the gov
ernment wants us to read. And so
far 1t has had no desire to keep us
either completely or reliably informed.
The news gathering agencies OF the
world pour their cablegrams into
Japan daily and in return we get a
censored report that makes stories
from the European war front look
like books. What is true of Japan is
true of China in this instance. for
secretiveness Is an Oriental trait.
