ment similar in purpose and scope
 to the Pan-American movement
 with the principles in some measure
 of the Monroe doctrine insisted upon. or at least accentuated, im both.
 Japan goes further than promise
 to give back Kiaochou. In her de-
 mands upon China, Japan insists that China shall not alienate or lease
 to other countries any port, harbor or island on .he coast of China, the the government of Japan including itself in the stipulation.
 The Japanese war scare is about as ridiculous as the German war scare that hes sent the country into an hysterical preparationist move. ment. The preparationist movement
 however is clearly not going to get
 away with all the arguments, ana
 doubtless in time the real objective of the movement will be more clear ly understood.
 Japan has shown no real signs Of
 hostility to the United States. On
 the contrary despite endless sub
 jects which might cause friction, the
 government of Nippon has repeated ly and ostentatiously gone out of its
 way to assure the United States peo- pie of desire for friendly and closer relations. They have admitted
 that they owe America debt of
 gratitude, and their careful policy in
 the east looking to their own na- tional integrity cannot be criticized, least of all in America with a Mon
 roe doctrine to attend to.

 While the original misropresenta- ton wcs published freely in ali pa pers subject to some dispatches. they never have except in few cases published the corrections. Thus the associated press made It out that Japan insisted before granting any railroad concession to foreign power and before nego- tiating loans from any third power, China must consult Japan. Now no such proposal or demand ever was made, what Japan insisted upon was that before negotiating railroad or loans or hypotheticating revenues in Eastern Mongolia and South Man Echuria both adjoining Japanese territory. China must obtain Japan's consent. Japan in negotiating agreed to defer her Eastern Mongo- Han claims, and, as 1t Is stated, "we are left with the simple fact that Japan is claiming preference over every other foreign power in ths sphere of influence everywhere re- cognized as her own, the terra n won by her victory over Russia ten years ago..
 What Japan is really doing ic establishing Monroe doctrine for Asia and her right to do so can hardly be questioned by Americans.
 Even if Japan refused to recog- nize the United States as an Asiatic power, 1t is also right to remember that she refused to recognize Rus sia, France and Great Britain as such, all of which countries own Asiatic territory as large if not lar ger as in some cases, than Japan herself.
 Japan does not seek to control China. But Japan does insist that If foreign political, military or financial advisers are selected, Japan must be first consulted. The safet, of Japan Is obviously involved i;l these demands. To permit tho spo- liation of China by another pow sr
 would be to place an enemy directly at the gates of Japan.
 But the case of Japan is deli
 berately and openly attacked by
 those who would foster the notion
 that Japan has sinister designs upon the United States. That notion is
 fostered with the express purpose ol

Government Ownership as illus trated in tie construction of the Alaska railroad is not going to keep anyone awake nights lost in admira- tion of it's beauties. And certainly the labor troubles which have brok- en out in Anchorage do not serve to heigthen its attractions.
 The idea that bureaucracy like this railroad commission is going to be of great and permanent benefit to the territory of course Is absurd, for like all bureaucrats they are in power Q short time when they come to the conclusion that the Alaska railroad has Deon decided upon by a beneficient governmcn, expressly for their own particular edif1cation, benefit and profit.
 The humbug that has been written about the railroad is about equal to the humbug that is being written about the railroad Commission Neither one nor the other is going to work wonders for Alaska, and 6 good deal of the criticism coming the way of the commission is be. cause the interested press had beea heralding to the world the manifold pcrfectiOns of tho commission, just as it had been horald;ng the mani. fold perfectons of the railroad Tnc engineers have apparently made ur their minds that as far as tno labor

 great campaign. this time against militarism, may be more productive of fruit than has been his pacific trip to Europe.
 It is probably correct what one of the Fordites on that trip said that the neutrals want peace less than do the belligerents, what with the fine trade in a variety of goods that they are now carrying on with the nations at war. And it is the money makers who really dominate the situation.
 Ford faces in ais anti munitionist propaganda in this country the mu- nitions industry. That is force those days to be reckoned with
 Only short time ago, during the recent elections to be exact, a town where was located a intuition fac tory posted notices that it would b. enlarged if tho socialists who had been in control before were not elected And the socialists were not elected. The enlargement sugges- t& was also accompanied by the tllrcat that if the socialists were elected the plant might be closed.
 The employees did not want 10 lose their meal ticket, and they voted as the munitionists wanted
 The pacifcists face this condition throughout the country. The idea is sedulously cultivated that with a bigger navy and larger army ana better preparedness greater indus trial activity, higher wages and more business and prosperity" will prevail. The full dinner pail is still the controlling factor at the bal- lot box. notwithstanding all talk to the contrary.
 Now if Ford could show the work CTS or others that without this mu- nitionist activity which prepared ness favors, the country would be as well or better off he might make some headway To reveal the fao. that in the intuition contracts wi be graft and boodling and pilfering is to not at all affect the average voter The average voters sense of political ethics is not very mighty de veloped The man who can gain his point and make money on gov ernment contract is damn smart man. He is admired and is initiated by a host Of lesser lights.
 The skin game man has always a number of followers, and they lure the young idea with the same magnetism as light exerts upon the fluttering insect.
 What is considered is the vital necessity Of the full belly and the full dinner pail. If that is to come from the munitions industry well and good Mr. Ford in that event can go to Jericho for all the effect he will have upon the multitude.
 The country generally is about as well off politically and economically as it is deserves to be. Herbert Spencer declared to that effect on one occasion and he spoke the truth When men determine to reform an evil they reform it, but if the ma : jority are willing to acquiesce in it's continuance it will be persisted in.
 If mon place tho full dinner pail above everything else, and think there is no reason why they shouldn't unless a fuller and more easily gotten dinner pail is to be otherwise obtained, they can be re- lied upon to support any system however iniquitous.

WASHINGTON IS
SKEPTICAL OF THE
LONDON REPORT

Washington, May 24.-State depart
ment officials were frankly skeptical
today Of the report that Prince Won
Buelow was coming to Washington on
a special mission from Emperor Will
liam. They have received no official
or unofficial information that such a
visit was in prospect. high official
pointed out that report originated in
London, which to his mind, cast doubt
upon it's truth, since 1t was certain to
be- widely discussed as a possible
peace overture from Germany The
German government, he said, has not
yet seen fit to suggest a peace move
officially or conf1dentially in any way.
The possibility that the former
chancellor would supplant Count
Won Bernstorff as ambassador here,
also was greatly doubted in Off
cial circles. Ambassador Won Berns-
torff's diplomatic achievements
through the submarine controversy, it
was stated. seemed to make it certain
that he would be left undisturbed by
his government.
