THE WISE JAPANESE

Admire the ability of our courteous
friends, the japanese. They have
Asiatic patience in waiting. Euro
pean swiftness in striking.
They were in no hurry in Paris.
They waited until Italy, France,
England and America were quarreling
and Italy had withdrawn. Then the
high ENJOYS of the Mikado said, "We
wish so and so; please give it to us.
We take it for granted that you would
not like to scandalize the world by
having another one of the allies with
draw"
They got it.
