 The future menace to Japan will come from the United States and China. What most concerns the Jap anese in the United States is the prs posed expansion of the American navy. It is directed against Japan or Ia meant to menace Japan.
 How far-reaching the American ambition in the Orient is can be seen from the protest which the United States is raising against the Japanese occupation of the former German pos session in the South Pacific. The Americans, who saw no danger in the German occupation of the islands, cry that Japan's occupation of them Is a menace to their co.onies, the Philip pines and Guam. What does this all mean?

cARRANZA CALLS FOR
 STATE ELECTIONS IN MEXICO
To Put an End to Various Ambitious
 Plans of Political Parties.

Mexico City, April 27,--The new de- cree of General CarranZa providing for the calling of elections for state offices has put an end to various an- bilious political plans Of some of the more prominent political parties for controlling the state elections and, through the state machinery, of infiu- encing the next elections for prest- dent.
 Under the old plan of Guadalupe, on which much of the program of the constitutionalist government Is based, the provisional governors Of the states were empowered to call state elections at any time they saw fit after the president and national congress had been elected and taken their seats.
 Under the new constitution, officers of the army and those holding federal government positions must resign 90 days prior to election before they can become candidates for governor. The provisional governors, therefore, by calling elections at times suited to them. could have eliminated many candidates under these provisions.
 The decree issued by General Car ranza. however, amends the plan of ernors of the states may call state elections only with the authority of the first chief of the constitutionalist army in charge of the executive power, or. if after May 1. when Carranza becomes president of the republic. The decree provides that state elections shall be called at such times that the candi- dates elected may take office prior to July 1, 1917, except in those states where conditions exist which make the holding of an election inadvisable be- 1 cause of disturbances or other req sons. General Carranza, either as frs | chief or as president, remains solt l judge of the advisability and possibil- f ity of holding elections in any state and, if he deems it inadvisable to holC elections, may ask congress to confirm the provisional governor of any state in his office for the constitutional pe- riod ending in 1920.
 1 It is believed that this change in the plan of Gaudelupe will effectively
 check efforts by any party to build up a machine which will dominate the
 next presidential election or whicE will be in a position to curtail the power of the executive, as it has beer openly predicted might be done.

There will. thus be certainty as large, and prob ably. a larger surplus available in the western hemisphere than last year, and if adequate cargo space and ship ping facilities are available to bring t safely across, oversea countries will be in a position to fully meet Europe's requirements
 The great question in 1917 thus re- solves itself into one of transport, concludes this sugar authority.
