The Washington times., 1916-04-02

Colonies Of Japanese immigrants are
settling in every part of the conti-
nent. Every one Of these colonists
does his best to foster the "Buy from
Japan" idea.
A few years ago Japanese compe-
tition could be discounted largely by
Americans, the superior quality of
American-made goods more than
neutralizing the lower prices the
Japanese could quote. Today the
yellow man is making goods in many
lines which compare favorably in
quality with the American product
but which, because Of his lower labor
cost, he can sell more cheaply.
These facts and conditions indi-
cate that If the American exporter,
already vitality hampered by lack OF
a merchant marine. is to accomplish
anything in South America it is high
time he and his nation were up and

MEXICO AS 1T WAS AND IS

Time was when Mexico was in
area larger than the United States.
Spain claimed an empire that in
cluded Texas, California, Arizona,
and New Mexico, and other areas in
our Rocky mountain region, even be-
fore Louisiana was bought; so that
in that day Mexico might have been
set down as larger than the United
States.
Before our own country had ac-
quired Texas, and other areas had
been bought, Mexico was of about
the same area as the United States.
Today, Mexico has shrunken and the
United States has expanded, till
Mexico contains only about one
fourth the area of the United States,
according to the National Geo.
graphic Society.
The Mexico Of today includes 767,-
900 square miles, and is as large as
France, Great Britain, Germany,
Austria, and Ireland. Yet the five
largest States in the United States,
Texas, California, Montana, New
Mexico, and Arizona, exceed all
Mexico in area. The border between
this country and Mexico comprises
1900 miles, of which 1,400 is easily
crossed at most seasons, and would
require some sort of surveillance in
case of war

A JAPANESE TRADE INVASION
OF SOUTH AMERICA

A. warning to American business
men'who are planning campaigns in
South America is sounded by an ex-
porter returned from a nine months
tour of Latin America. He makes it
plain that if this country's manufac-
turers and merchants are to get
even their fair share of South Amer
lean trade they must bestir them
selves.
In addition to the ruthless compe-
tition which Germany and other ma
tions will offer as soon as peace
comes there must be faced the COM
petition Of Japan, waged with gov
eTnmental cooperation and with a
control of shipping, which more than
Offsets natural conditions which fa-
vor North Americans.
Today four hundred of Japan's
most skillful salesmen are securing
the fast-reviving South American
market. Japan already is establish
ing a steamship line to reach these
rich fields. Governmental control OF
shipping enables the Mikado's trade
pioneers to offer their prospective
customers a low, fixed freight rate
Right now rates from any port il
Japan are half those from New
York. Moreover, by sending hel
battleships on frequent missions t.
South American ports, Japan is i'm

PLOTS IN MUNITIoN WORKS

The activity of the Clyde work.
ers' committee which has been at
tempting, with some success, to TO-
ment disturbances among the work
ers turning out munitions in British
factories has a familiar sound to
us. England, so far as the censor
has permitted us to know, has had
sporadic trouble of this kind at
home, but factories in the United
States which have been supplying
her armies have been the scenes of
innumerable labor disturbances and
Of sabotage.
The hand behind all the American
trouble has been shadowy, but fairly
well recognized. 1t is not incon-
ceivable that the same far-reaching
fingers may have found a way to
work even in England. AS Sir Ed
ward Carson pointed out to the
Commons, a nation at war has a
weapon against that kind of agita-
tion, for in such times it is treason
if compassed by citizens; others be-
come spies. Here and now the mis-.
chievous are only propagandists, al,
most impossible to reach, or profes.
sional labor agitators.
1t is one of the dangers which the
10000 engineers of the United
States, under auspices Of the nava
consulting board, intend to ware
against by their plan to mobilize
American industry. They hope no
only to catalogue our resources anC
organize them, But also to get {
corps Of skilled labor which in tim,
Of need will stay on the job.
Much of England's trouble ha
been that her lack of foresight il
this direction laid her vital indus
tries open to interference from
within and without. We may prof
to some degree, at least, by her ex
perience, for no doubt, unless fore
warned and thus forearmed, w
should have strikes and mysteriou
factory explosions in DUR army
rear.

CULTURE AND KULTUR

Culture paid a debt to kultur
when Enrique Granados, the Spanish
musician who composed the opera
"Goyescas," was murdered among
the other victims of the Sussex.
Granados was just coming into full
recognition as one of the greatest
composers of his time. His latest
opera had had it's premiere in New
York only two months ago, and had
been tremendous success, approach
ing the character of a sensation in
music. He was crossing the chan
mel with his wife on the Sussex, and
it is now all but certain that both
were lost.
Spain, let lit be remembered, has
been strongly disposed toward the
, German side in the war; partly be-
cause it's political interests move in
that way, and partly because its
ruling classes are naturally in SYM
pathy with the Prussian style of
government, as opposed to the dem
ocratic kinds that Spaniards observe
in France, Portugal, Britain, and
Italy. But Berlin's submarine knows
no brother, no friend, no neutral. II
hasn't time to inquire who may be
aboard the peaceful ship it has
marked as victim. 1t fires, dives
and then trusts to the home govern
ment to make a leering "disavowal'
accompanied by assurances tina
promises hundred times broker
were intended to mean something.

Police Chief Ousted
For Accepting Cigars

PEEKSKILL, n. Y, April 2.-Chlef NJ
Police Nathaniel Seabury was ousted
by the village board for accepting a box
of cigars as a Christmas present from
the owner OF resort he had been in
structed to raid.
Seabury' hearing lasted two days. There
were fifteen counts against him. the
chief one being that he failed TO clamp
down the lid on village resorts after re-
peated instructions from the board. Sea
buhy said he failed to return the box of
cigars to the sender because he was
afraid he would become suspicious that
a police move was to be made against
him. Seabury had been on the polics
force nearly twenty years.

WHAT WILL BIZ "ADR0UATEr'

Much Of the time Of Congress
since assembling last December has
been occupied with preparedness dis
cussion revolving around "what is
adequate ?" The second detection
from the Wilson Cabinet was caused
by disagreement between a Secre-
tary Of War and the chairman of the
House Military Affairs Committee
over the degree and method of army
legislation. A dozen plans for the
army have been advanced and advo-
Gated in as many quarters. The
naval policy is being worked out by
separate committee while still an
other committee considers those dip
lomatic policies the operation of
which may ultimately require the
use of armed force for defense.
Behind the welter lies the revenue
problem-how much shall be spent
and where can it be raised? Or is
Fit wise to increase taxation on the
eve of a Presidential election?
Possibly by next December Con-
gress may have threshed out the an
swer, and be prepared to say to the
country what adequate defense is.
But if so it will have done no more
than to perform the duty which the
Democratic party pledged itself to
perform through the medium of a
Council of National Defense.
The Baltimore platform indorsed
"adetuate" defense and further
pledged the party to the creation OF
Council of National Defense, the
obvious function of which would be
to recommend a national military
policy with ends nicely balanced tc
means.
While the platform, as is the Gus
tom, was not too specific the idea Of
those far-sighted enough to include
this promise in the proclamation
with which the Democratic part!
sought election to national contro
was that the council should consis
of the following representatives O
those branches of the Government
which since the preparedness issu'
broke on the country have eithe
been unco-ordinated or antagonistic
The Secretary of State, who's
business it is to descry political per
lis; the Secretaries of War and tn
Navy and high ranking officers o
both services, the chairmen of tn
Military and Naval Affairs Commit
tees of the House and Senate, VIII
would naturally put the curb of civil
, ian supervision and the test of pc
litical expediency upon departments
J recommendations the chair1men G
the Appropriations Committees @
the House and Senate, who can ar
l praise the military program froI
the standpoint of national revenues
: Had such body been formed tn
= controversy in which every legisls
tor now takes a hand might hav
) been clarified and the number c
necessary controverted points re
duced to a minimum. There is ye
time to create a Council Of Ns
tional Defense and no other metho
appears so sound and certain t
bring order out of chaos and e,
travagance.
