SOUTH END CITIZENS
WANT REFERENDUM
Resolution to Indorse Sheppard
Bill, With Popular Vote
Clause, Passed.

That prohibition without a refer
endum vote is a thing distasteful to
members OF the South Washington
Citizens Association was made plain
at the monthly meeting at jefferson
School last night. when, after spir-
tied debate. the Sheppard bill, amend
ed by a popular vote clause. was in
dorsed.
The resolution to indorse was in
troduced by Hedge Murray. secretary
OF the association. An amendment
offered by Thomas d. Brown, which
provided for referendum. started
discussion that precipitated question
after question affecting the merits
OF the measure.
Opposed BY President.
DR.. Louis johnson, president OF the
association, opposed the original
resolution as INTRODUCED by Secretary
Murray. He said IL involved a ques-
ton OF personal liberty.
81 do not approve of such drastic
steps being TAKEN" declared DR.. John
son. without the consent OF the
people. This is a country where per-
sonal liberty is valued above all else"
When the referendum amendment
was offered, however, DR.. johnson
voted to indorse the bill.
Secretary Murray pleaded for a
saloonless Capital. Il think the time
has passed when any one should ques-
ton the merits of a prohibition BILL"
he said.

Worry is the vernacular for
diplomatic concern" 1t con-
notes something mental. some
tling psychological, and in for
eign affairs deals mostly with the
hypothetical. the things that may
happen. Failure to forsee accu-
rately involves so much that
statesmanship is often a struggle
against the Inevitable. Yet dip
lomatic worries frequently prove
as groundless as individual ap-
prehensions about ones health.
All this is apropos OF the relations
between the United States and
Japan. For the fact is-and
facts are irrepressibIe-that peo-
pie in the United States, those
who study the Far East and
those who give It the average
Americans casual attention, be-
tray deep anxiety over Japan's
future policies. This anxiety
must be as incomprehensible to
the japanese as It Is insuscep-
tibIe of ofrhand definition by the
American.
But since the purpose Of this
discussion is to assist in improV-
ing the relations between the
United States and Japan. 1t Is es-
sential that there be plain speak
ing. trusting indeed that any
seeming harshness will be for
given as arising out OF that earn
est spirit of goodwill toward ia
pan which alone must lie back Of
any constructive criticism TO
merit for it sympathetic atten-
ton.
There may be surprise in ia
pan at the discovery that America
feels concern over the Far East.
Why. It might properly be asked.
should there be more concern at
present than heretofore. when, in
deed. Japan and the United States
were not even allied as they are
now in seeking to overthrow
common enemy? The answer Is
TO be found in the psychology OF
a nation at war. Great Britain's
attitude toward the United States
in 1914 furnishes a good analogy
Of this phase OF international
amity.
Brings State of Suspicion.
War suddenly makes a nation
sensitive. IF you are not for
me-" reasoned Great Britain about
the United States, you must be
against me-" and promptly Eng
land set about trying to persuade
America that the entente was
fighting in a just cause. this not
withstanding the fact that the
people OF America had become pre-
pondersntly pro-aliy the moment
Germany ravaged Belgium. Yet
out of the fickle changes and sud
den overturnings that war brings
comes a suspicious state OF mind.
Neutrality" CRATES on the nerves.
The best OF friends must undergo
searching scrutiny the moment
they proclaim neutrality or pas
sive belligerency.
Such was the temper OF the
United States about Mexico a few
months ago: such would be the
point OF view Of the United States
now about Russia were that coun-
try TO have left the fires OF old
disputes with us smoldering and
unextinguished.
Still another psychological char
acteristic: no change Is too mo-
mentous, too revolutionary, to be
rejected as impossible in these
days. The dramatic overthrow OF
the Russian autocracy has pre-
pared the world for further up
heavals and further cVerturnings.
