INTERVENTION OF
IAPANISDECLARED
Favored BY ALLIES

The United States will not stand in
the way of Japan's intervention in
Siberia, says Judson C. welliver in a
Washington dispatch to the New York
Globe.
Great Britain and Franco regard
the intervention as highly necessary
as soon as possible. Embodiment of
asia in the world war to the advan-
tbge or Germany must be prevented
Without delay. and prompt action by
Japan Is the means to prevent It..
Back OF the. Siberian problem lies
dhina, with one-third OF the worlds
population and its destiny in the bal
ance, and beyond that lies India, with
the potentiality of supplying cotton
that Germany desperately needs and
can get nowhere else.
There is the summary OF the pres
ent international situation in the few
est words What It involves is this:
The allies realize that there must be
no mealy mouthing about mobilizing
the resources of civilization against
gutocratic barbarism. The biggest
single item in the appraisal OF civili-
EaIlOn al lnAE NAh~N
has not yet been cast upon the side
OF the entente at full value is Japan.
Japan is willing, anxious to give all
she has. France is anxious that she
should do so. England is willing, but
awaits the word of America.
In this respect America occupies
ueculiar position. There has been
ssnong the white peoples fronting the
Pacific a measure of prejudice against
the yellow races. Canada, Australia,
New Zealand. our own Pacific States,
have shared It Ever since Roosevelt
sent the feet to the Pacific the Brit
ieh Pacific dominions have looked to
Washington as their spokesman and
guaranteer in this respect. Britain
has been iudisposed to ask her colo
aies to concede more than the United
states would concede.
Up TO Washington to Decide,
Thus. regarding the problem of the
Pacific. has grown a community Of un-
Outstanding which has bound Canada
AMI the British South Pacific domin-
ions TO the United States.
! A few weeks ago ! asked a spokes-
nan of the British government what
Downing street thought sbout the de-
STABILITY OF a larger participation of
japan in the war.
That viii be left, so far as We are
cD7cerned, to Washington" he replied.
II Washington will acquiesce, the in
vitation to japan would be unani-
nous. But II would be for Washing
ton to decide"
The time has come for Washing
ton to decide. Germany is planning
TO bring Asia into the war. 1t Is
merely a question whether the en-
tente shall utilize p. omptly and efrec-
lively the greatest power OF Asia.
Prompt action by Japan, with the
full support OF the other entente
powers, means forestalling German
intrigue In China, checkmating Ger
man designs against India.

his confidence and tell them
why he talked and voted in
favor of the terminal eleva-
tor bill and then approved of
the governors veto of the
same measure. In his char
acteristic way he lodges
the question. He answers
by pointing to the large
vote he received. Well,
that is the way Boss
Tweed used to do in New
York City. For years he
had the bulk of the votes in
the nations metropolis. He
refused to answer any in
quiries in any way except
by pointing to the votes his
crowd had. In time, how
ever, he found it conven-
lent to depart for Europe.
Dick Croker, a successor Of
Boss Tweed, also had Stairs
idea about answering any
inquiries. He would point
to the votes he had. How
ever, he did not have them
long. He also left for Eu-,
rope. His game was good
while it lasted, but it didn't
last very long. Stair seems
to feel that he is above an

to call on Mr.. johnson in person

Matt makes mention of the
failure of Dick Croker and Boss

Of their refusal of an explana-

they were defeated and then
emigrated to Europe. This
seems to be the history of many

federal incorporation Of the
Playground and Recreation AS
ISOLATION Of America. 1t will
ask congress for 100000 as a
starter, to pay its bills.
Miss Wilson and her friends
have for years been working to
get the American schoolhouse
made the home of community
recreation activities. In the
District of Columbia this has
been granted by law, and there
is a rapidly developing commune
ity spirit which is wholesomely
democratic and constructive in
character. The appearance Of
the rival movement, backed by
the funds and staff of the Rock
efeller Foundation, and seeking
to absorb the democratic organ
ization by pledging the payment
of all necessary expenses for
rapid growth at once, has caus-
ed a considerable protest.
When the Incorporation bill
comes up in the house it is quite
likely that some of the members
will offer battle. They fought,
some years ago, to drive a horde
of Rockefeller employees out OF
the department of agriculture
and the department Of com.
merce. Now they propose that
Rockefeller money shall moi
swallow up the movement to put
the people Of each school district
in direct and democratic com
mand of community recreation
They are suspicious Of this all
pervasive generosity Of John D
Jr. to the churches, the colleges
the schools and now to the PEG
pies play. They will ask why
he does not hire a lobby to. gel
congress to increase his person

Secret Caucus Stair now
wants the people to believe
that he is in favor Of an op-
en- and above board policy.
He even goes to the extreme
Of demanding to know the
names Of all the stockhold-
ers in a private corpora
ton. The fact that the
names Of the directors Of
the corporation in question
have been published does
not satisfy him. But while
he would apply the public
ity rule to a private cor
poration, he very evidently
does not want it applied to
a public servant. The Town
ley secret caucus looked
rood to him while he repre-
sented Bottineau county in

Observation-Disclosures !

name given me by editor john
son. Secret Caucus STAIR" and
will admit attending many eau
cuses. Mr. Johnson, will you tell
the people of Bottineau county
that when you represented them
at Bismarck you never attended
q secret caucus, always worked
Individually, did not cooperate
with any other members and
that when you had a measure
to be passed you did go thru the
Hobbies Of the capitol and hotels
telling the public what you We're
going to do? Mr.. Johnson, you
remember when you called your
self a Progressive Republican,
and so do the people Of the coun-
ty. You proposed some very
radical legislation and scored the
old gang very severely before
the primaries. But as the so
called progressives were not
successful in landing all the Of
fees, you asked the stand-pat-
tiers to cooperate and all be
good old republicans. BY SO do
ing you and your associates have
lost the confidence Of the people.
Mr.. Johnson, you know that you
received the support of both old
parties and now you are found
lined up against your old friends
and supporters, simply because
they have lost their confidence
in you. However, I will take you
into my confidence long enough
to tell you why I had the nerve
the ask you to publish the name
of the stockholders Of the Farm
ers Advocate. There are many
people in the county as well al
myself who believe that some o:
the stockholders of that papel
are the very men whom you sait
belonged to the Alex. Mckenzie
gang, which conducted the af
fairs of the state-in a very rot
ten way. I believe that you ar
the man that does not want TIN
public to know the names O
your associate stockholders il

may clear yourself somewhat il
