The Ishil-Laning Agreement.

Apologists for Japan will doubtless
assure us that this is war measure
and that Japan in return for this agree
ment will take a more active part IN
the war. II is to be hoped that she
will, for Japan's participation in the war
has amounted to very little, But II can
not be emphatically stated that the de-
gree OF Japan's participation in this war
is no concern Of ours. II is our buSi-
ness TO cooperate ith her in the use
OF such forces as she may put at the
service Of the allies, but japan has been
particular in her declaration OF war
against Germany as well as in subse-
quent official references to the war. to
emphasize that her participation in the
war has been solely under the terms OF
the Anglo. Japanese alliance There
was not In Japan at the outbreak OF the
war, nor is there now, any popular ieel-
Ing against Germany any recognition
OF the German menace TO civilization.
One could not expect that in a country
whose national ideals and whose gov
ernmenial methods so nearly approach
the Prussisn model On the other hand
there is in Japau a great deal OF ad-
miraton for Germany and for German
institutions and in fact such a strong
pro. German sentiment that the aulhorl-
ties have some difficulty keeping IT in
the bounds OF propricly. But that is a
matter which concerns England and
Japan alone.

Lansing note will not be apparent until

It seems 10 me any injury is matter

Operation In War Necessary
Senator Robinson, Democrat, Arkan-
Sas asked Mr. McAdoo to tell the COM
mlftce why government operation OF
| railroads was necessary. MIR MCAdoO
replied that he did not think he could
add anything to what already had been
said but he thought it necessary TO get
better cooperation OF the trausporta.

at is your opinion that the congcs-

Of facilities or the lac. Of proper use"
asked Chairman Smith
Both II drew out the lack Of facl-
ltics and the failure OF the separate
| railroads 10 coordinate"
700 Engines Commandeered
When the government took over the
railroads about 700 locomotives were
being built on order by the various car
riers. McNdoo said he ordered that the
locomotives as fast as comnlctcd. be
turned over to him to be distributed
where most needed
THAT couldn't have been done un-
der private management" he said
Senator Poindexter asked what had
been done so far to relieve transporta-
tion congestion.
"We'yc already forced rc-routng and
got better distribution"
Has there been much substantial
cleaning up yet2'
Il don't think so in the cast, where
there is not much Improvement yet"
Weather Delays Relief
The railroads he said were Still
under private management which re-
ported extraordinary weather condi-
