Japan in Role of a Bully.

Japan presents a rather awkward appear
ance at Paris just now. Posing as a champion
of civilization, an advocate OF advancement, and
the guardian of peace in esatern Asia, the
mikado's government is now accused of brow
beating weaker nation. China has made rep
reservations that the Japanese are not only ag-
gressive but actually oppressive in their de-
nlands; that they are seeking to seize and hold
the richest part of Chinas mineral wealth, and
that threats of military occupancy have accom-
panied demand that China preserve the terms
Of secret treaties sought to be forced on the
struggling government Of the great people.
Naturally, Japan denies this Baron Uchido
at London, asserts that his government is not
seeking to deal unfairly by the Chinese, and
yet puts forward claim to the Shantung prov
ince, from which the Japs elected the Ger
mans. This province contains coal and iron
which the Japanese require for their industrial
expansion. On the other hand, the Chinese
hope to get into the way of making steel them
selves and see no very good reason why they
should be compelled to turn over their resources
TO foreigners for exploitation.
About three years ago business proposition
came to the United States from Japan 1t was
to tine effect that if we would furnish the capt.
tai, the Nipponese would provide the experts
and the workmen, and between the two coun-
tries the immense resources of China could be
opened and made productive AT the time the
original effort to force state Of suzerainty
on China was being made by Japan.
The Japs have not relinquished their ambi-
tons in this direction. Posing as conservators
for China, although speciously accepting the
doctrine of the open door" they still scheme
to control the mines they covet. Just now they
afford the peace conference one great oppor-
tunity to do righteous act of justice to fee
lie nation. Will it be donel

Holding Rack Decentralization.

The reported order that disqualification is
to be suspended for time has occasioned a
great deal of surprise. Ostensibly it is to
avoid extension of condition of unemploy-
ment. Whether this is the real reason, or
whether it is but a pretext to conceal some
military purpose, does not matter.
Industry in the United States is slowly re-
viving from the effects of war disturbance and
with the liquidation of government contracts,
now under way, business ought to be moving
along peace time channels within compare
lively short time. This will demand the return
to civil life of the men now held in the army.
Most of these men have jobs to go to; many of
them have business or professional engage
ments to- renew on being discharged from the
AMY, while The Bee is in receipt of many let
tiers from farmers, inquiring as to whether their
sons can not be released in time to help in the
spring work
All these are good reasons why the bust
ness of rehabilitation should be carried on
with greater speed. 1t was announced once
that discharge would be granted any soldier
who had an application from his former en-
ployer or for other good industrial reasons
4hS Feu tape tnat mas surrounded TINS has al
most nullifed the process.
Unemployment is not so serious a matter
that men actually needed at home should be
kept in the service if discharge is impending.
Should the government have graver reason,
it ought to let the people know. The public
was kept in ignorance prior to the war of many
things it might have been told, and which after
wards were disclosed. 1t ought to have full in
formation now.

DANCE IN FuRrHER IMITATION.

Secretary Glass has proposed a fiscal policy
for the United States that deserves to be care
fully scanned. Instead of contemplating any
pploach to retrenchment he suggests further
imitation. This is to be accomplished by sale of
the authorized Liberty bond issue several bill
lions of which have not as yet been marketed;
a Victory loan OF at least ten billions and the
issuance of interest-bearing circulating notes,
to the tune Of ten billions. Such a program
ought to meet the appreciation of the bolshe-
wiki. for it will bring the United States up to
the Russians in volume of money We will
have the advantage, though for our printing
presses will not be worn out and we can, 60
right on. To be sure, Secretary Glass bases
his calculations on the outlined expenditure of
Sl8O00000000 for the first year of peace and
another $l0,00O,0O0,0OO the following year. and
the continuance of loans to allies and similar
philanthropic undertakings. While this is
going on, wonderment is expressed in admins
tration circles that business is not Immediately
resumed and all industrial activities carried on
as in normal times. Something must be done

Labor Laws and States Rights.

Walker D. Hines, federal railroad director,
advises labor unions not to bother with state
legislators. but to come direct to Washington
when looking for legislation. This view is
shared in by some labor leaders. For the
present it is easy enough to get almost any
sort of labor law out of congress. But when
it comes to experience, the case is rather against
congress. Labor was compelled to resort to
the states to secure adequate compensation
laws and other relief The child labor law
passed by congress was knocked out by the
courts on states right point Very recently
the migratory bird law was held invalid because
it intereferes with the right of Arkansas to
govern things within its boundaries. This
principle has held good on many other &C.
essions When It comes to fundamentals, labor
Will do well to cease trying to gain relief from

Public Market on South Side.

HuDl1c Market on SOuIn SIDE.
Omaha, Feb. 10.-To the Editor
of The Bee: Why can't we have
more than one public market? If
$4,000 is to be spent, why not
spread it out a little? A general
market in the wholesale district is
all right, but why not other markets
close to the consumer? Where the
housewife can take her market
basket and walk to the market
AS it now stands, how will the
average woman in South Omaha
profit by market at Fifteenth ana
Davenport streets unless she has
an automobile? Why can't we
scatter the markets like the mu-
nicipal ice stations? There is no
more sense in one market than in
one park or one public playground.
I want real public market in
South Omaha. A piece of vacant
ground could be leased near the ter
minal of the Fort Crook car line;
that would make it convenient for
the small gardener to bring in his
few baskets and several miles closer
for the big gardener with his heavy
loads.
If we are afraid to go in heavy,
just a big long shed, as has been
used in other cities and market days
three times a week, say Monday,
Wednesday and Saturday. One po-
liceman or one of the many welfare
employees could do duty those days.
See how little the expense really is,
and yet it will be of the greatest
benefit to the people that really need
it.
I think 1t will increase and en-
courage production, as the hundreds
of small home owners in the north
ern part of Sarpy county will make

An Obnoxious Tar

It seems that the conferees have retained in
the general revenue bill as a so-called tax on
luxuries the house levy on wearing apparel 1t
is a consumption tax OF the most nagging sort
falling, not on the rich alone, but on average
persons. The prices of clothing, for example
are very high, as a result of war conditions and
there is no apparent reason why buyers of cloth
ing should be penalized by imposition of a per-
centage tax. Many find it difficult to buy cloth
ing at existing prices. The tax would reach even
much 'shoddy" goods while it would fall on
practically all good merchandise
The unpopularity Of this obnoxious tax will
not be restricted to the consumers. Nothing
could have been devised that would have proved
a greater annoyance to merchants, It is not
like 2 gross sales tax or a general Consumption
tax that could be figured at stated intervals. Ii
