WHAT THE M1KADo's COMMISSION CAN DO.
fBrooklyn Standard Unionl

brooklyn Standard Union)
This country sincerely wants better understand.
ing with japan and the opportunity to clear away
some slight mutual suspicious is afforded by the
visit of the commission from Toxic which arrived
ir the United States recently. l."
While it cannot be said that there is friction be-
tween this nation and japan, or that anything less
than warm friendship exists, yet from one cause or
another the two governments have failed to sweep
away some uncertainties as to the political COM
lnercial and military policies of each other. This
is largely due to distance and to differences in
language and customs. But that the time has ar
rived for changed feeling on the part of Washing
ton and Toxic is very obvious to students of world
politics.
Our sudden entrance into Asiatic affairs twenty
years ago. the japanese realization of her strength
by the conflict with Russia and her consequent rise
as world power, the iron rule in Korea which re-
suited in much friction but which happily no longer
concerns this country, the Chinese open door issue,
and recent japanese activity in that country have
served to create condition which demands the
most delicate diplomacy. .-
Japan rightly regards herself as the leader of
Asia, and as such she proposes to show China the
way To that probably no nation objects if she
goes about it in manner that does not infringe
upon foreign rights, old customs ard the door is
kept open. Moreover, there is a belief in unofficial
circles here that Japan has longing eyes on the
Philippines
IT is because of this state of affairs these suspi
cions and fears, that the visit of the eminent men
from Japan is not only welcome but is almost GER
tain TO result in the removal of existing msunder
standings Our feeling for Japan is as cordial as
our relations with that country justify We are
NOT in close touch with the people and never have
been. We know them to be Industrious, ambitious
!; eenious and highly patriotic. Sometimes We think
they are too strongly imbued with the mperialisic
idea " ...
What they think of can be left to the represen-
tatiyes lust arrived to say But the fc"vent wish is
that when this commission returns We will know
the Japanese people better and they will kno~ us
better.

Rules For Disloyal Citizens.


Rules for the disloyalists are developed rather
than discovered.
In times like the present the agent of enemy pro-
Faganda does not work in the open. He rather
plays upon the petty prejudces of the individual,
and as opportunity offers, fosters complaint and
adds all that he may to the plant of the pessmist
It's the boys who fighting the battles who can
identify the disloyalists, because these boys know
how disheartening and dscouraging a peevsh and
complaining gang back home can be in its influence
on the men who are doing the work
And so it is that the course of events has develop
ed rules for disloyalists 1t is we'll to give them pub
licty for use in Identification of the enemy and to
serve as suggestion to the man who believes him
self to be loyal but through his misfortune of dis
position folly of talking too much is really doing
his own country more harm than good.
The New York Independent has compiled ten of
these rules and they make good reading for men
and women who are running the war from easy
chairs made comfortable through the sacrifices Of
former generations:
u. When driven to make unequivoca state
ment protest your loyalty and then change the sub
ject
a. Assert on every occasion that Wall street
made the Never mind explaining when how, or
why
our democracy say that we are just bad auto
cracy as Germany Use the word Hypocrisy at every
opportunity Place the war In as sordid a light as
possible.
81. 1t is dangerous to denounce the United States
directly But rake history from end to end for mud
to throw at the Allies. Especially, twist the lions
tail
90. Profess great concern lest sending food to Eu-
rope will starve America. Support every embargo
movement that applies to the Allied nations and none
that does not.
IS. II the president asks for any extension of pow
about dictatorship and the overthrow Of the
liberties for which fathers etc
az. Spread that the Allies going to be-
tray take advantage of are
deeply enough involved in the war
"8. Accept CONSUMPTION in principle but hamper
its working in every possible way. One good way is
to start about revolution and internal disorder
as pretext for keeping large part of the army at
home.
80. Demonstrate that the enemy is unconquerable
and victory hopeless. Play the candid friend and
act depressant
40. Be very jealous to prevent 'entanglng alli-
ances and be much concerned about the Monroe Doc
trine IL we mix ourselves in European quarrels.'
Junker friends they remain in power after the war
Germany can only hope to conquer other nations if
they act selfishly and in isolation"
To these the Chicago Herald would add Oppose
sending our boys to France to the country and
insist on the being fought SOIL" and
when caught in the hamstringing act mention the
names of Washington and Lincoln"

to make demonstration of approval for the men
