Gives Earnest Warning on
Proposed Economic War

The Hague. Netherlands, Sept. 20
An earnest warning In regard to
the proposed economic war against
the Central Powers is published here
from the Belgian side. where such a
struggle would necessarily have far
reaching consequences that tend to
be overlooked. 1t comes from Frans
van Cauwelaert, the Flemish leader
and member of the Belgian Chamber
who writes:
The German people VIII assured
iy not have unlearned its spirit of ro-
bust industry through this war. What
has heightened its amazing working
force: the lack of some accessories
which 1t was accustomed to draw
unhindered from abroad, has taught
IL 10 manufacture out of its natural
resources or to replace by related
products. What has been prepared in
the giant laboratory of this technical
war VIII probably only become an
parent after years have passed. Rnt
1t would be dangerous self-delus
ION TO contemplate holding in con-
straint by artificial means the power
or extension of national forces that
are better organized and of greater
creative readiness. External barriers
Will not hold against inward superior
ity. Economic exclusion of another all
too quickly degenerates into economic
isolation or oneself. No one desires
that the Germans should again come
and devour the best in the land. bur
we must seek our salvation where it
Is to be found, and not founder from
one morass into another"

JAPs REFUSE DECORATIONS

Tokia, Aug. ga sensation has
been caused in Japan by the refusal
of two prominent japanese to accept
decorations granted by the Emperor
in connection with the war with Ger
many. The recipients are Yosaburo
Takekoshi, a we'll known journalist,
who was a member Of the Diet last
year and Masutaro Takagi, who is now
a member of the House of Representa-
tives. They base their refusal upon
the fact that, as members of the Diet,
they are the representatives of the
people. whose duty 1t Is to watch over
the work of the government. They
hold that acceptance of a decoration
is against the spirit of the constitution
and almost in the nature of bribe.
Also, they declare that it is improper
to accept honors while the war in
Europe is still raging, merely because
the Japanese troops had been victor
ious at Tsing-tau.
A government official insists that II
is not within the power of any Japa-
nese to decline an honor bestowed by
the Emperor.
