JAPANESE WOULD
BUY PHILIPPINES
FROM UNCLE SAM

| TOXIC. - The suggestion thai
Japan purchase the Philippine is
lands from the United States and
the Dutch East Indies from Holland
as a means of solving the problem
| of Japan's ever growing population
| is made by a writer in the Herald
of Asia, a conservative japanese
weekly journal. The writer cob
tends Japan is bound TO expand
Iterritorially as she is expanding in
population. Pointing out that the
population has more than doubled
in the last fifty years, being now
lover 57,O000,O0O, he estimates that
at the same rate of increase the
population will in another fifty years
have reached 100000.
sit is not too much to hope" he
Iargues, that some day justice and
destiny will decide that all the is
lands on this side of the Pacific,
north of the equator, will come
under the jurisdiction of Japan"
He asks the question whether Am
erica intends to keep out Japanese
emigrants and still hold the Philip
pines permanently. If not, why
should she not some day sell them
to Japan? He adds: Having closed
her own doors to the japanese, this
would be a gracious act on her part
and one that would be but naturally
expected from a country Boosting of
so much philanthropy and Christian
altruism."
AS for the Dutch East Indies,
the article contends the inhabitants
are more akin to the japanese than
to Holland, and that Japan could
administer the islands with greater
benefit on the whole to the people
and to herself than could Holland,
which, moreover, is a small country
Iuntroubled with surplus population.
1t is pointed out also that the
Dutch East Indies form the southern
line of Japan's defenses, and that
more than once the independence of
these islands has made them a men
ace to her safety.
After remarking that the Japan
csc do not like to settle in cold
tclimates like Hokkaido or Siberia,
the writer concludes: "Certainly it
would be better to let Japan have
them than to let them pass into
other hands, a contingency that
Japan could not contemplate. There
was no surprise when America pur-
chased the Danish West Indies.
There should be no surprise if
Japan should purchase the Dutch
East Indies. Were Japan once in
cono-opd IF tho Sup6a straits she
could slacken her naval program and
feel at ease both as to defenses and
population for all time to come"

SELECTIVE IMMIGRATION.

1t is refreshing idea which
Mayor Ole Hanson has thrown into
the melting-pot, as refreshing as it
is common-sensible, comments the
New York Times, in a discussion
of the immigration problem. If ma
tional service is to be selective, why
not also immigration? Hitherto we
have regarded immigrants merely as
laborers-so many hands to build
our railways, operate our factories.
It is the fault of the entire eco
nomic thought of the nineteenth
century, with the solitary exception
of a few sentences from John Rus
kin, which sufficiently amazed his
generation. Today those sentences
are faring up from the past in
letters of fire. The wealth of
nation is not a homogeneous thing;
it has two elements. "the possession
and the possessor" The men who
come to live among US are not
merely workers; they are also pros
pective citizens. In very few
years they will have at least an
equal voice with the most ingrained
American in determining our laws
and the spirit of their administra-
ton. What will it profit how great
the national possessions are if they
lapse into the hands Of unworthy
possesors?
In our easy optimism, facilitated
by the glad prospect of exploiting
a continent, we have offered our
freedom to the Oppressed" of all
nations, our wealth to all who are
'gTound down" in European power
ty. 1t has been our confident as
sumption that those who came TO
us were, like the leading pilgrims
Of yore, the more independent minds
and the harder spirits of the Old
World That idea has been pretty
thoroughly exploded. In the period
of greatest immigration, many came
simply to escape military service at
home. Many more were agitators
who sowed broadcast the doctrines
of Marx and Bakunin. Even in
Colonial days, many immigrants had
been forced out of Europe by ina
bility to survive in the keener
struggle for existence, and not a
few were of the criminal classes.
Today as never before we face the
problem of the nation possession and
its possessors The middle classes,
who have sojourned long enough
among US to be trained in American
ism, and to live by the labor of their
brains, see their earnings, with all
that makes life worth living and
useful to the State, dwindle day by
day, while the earnings and the
power of the hand laborers mount
and soar
Mayor Hanson is amazed at our
"haphazard" methods of admitting
newcomers. He would have repre-
sentatives in every foreign land,
whose business it would be to in
form themselves fully as to ''the
record, training, and character" of
prospective citizens of the United
States. And he would have the
prospective citizen pay for the pro-
cess, though it averaged $50 a per-
son. This fee would include a fur
Their and only less important SER
vice TO the immigrant and to this
ccuntry-a selective distribution of
the immigrants when they arrived.
In the past, thousands of expert
enced, skillful farmers" never got

Recently American manufacturers of underwear have thought so well of their achievements that they have pro claimed themselves as the designers of the styles now favored in lingerie. They certainly are justified in taking pride in the daiutiness and attractive ness of the garments they make in such quantities and they find if easy to cultivate q taste for fine undermus- llns. American women are appreci- atiVe. but they are also practical and they demand pretty but not too fragile extreme of wearing chiffon or georg. cite in undieS. or care for bizarre de- signing. In the main they like fine weayeS in cotton or crepe de chine for materials. not too much trimmed with fine and durable laees, hand embroid- cry and other needlewOrk. Hand crochet ill laces holds it's own with them. and has everything to recon mend 1t.
 Of course not much handwork Is to be found on manufactured undernus- linS. but machinery has been made 10 do wonderful work and sometimes so effectively that comparisons with hand work are not by any means odious to the machine-made garment. Some times the plain sewing on undermus- lins is done by machinery and the decoration by hand But however they may be put together and finished. the styles are about the same In under garmefffs.
