Japan ON Mexico

nexation Of the whole of Mexico It
Is said that the American government
will shortly decide on its policy tow
ard Mexico, Is this not a startling
state of affairs?
The Ydmato refers to the fact thot
America has acquired the Philip
pines and Cuba from Span and
California from Mer,co, and con-
tinues::
American capitalists are increasing
their activities in Mexico; there are
even indications to show that their
activities accentuate the complication
OF the situation in Mexico. They now
propose 20 rob Mexico Of her lnde-
pendence. This is casting off the
clergyman's garb to reveal the wolf.
If America is charged with prosecut-
ing a policy of aggression against q
neighbor, much in the same way as
Germany did, 1t will be difficult for
America 20 explain away the situation
effectively.
Do not say that, as there is the Mon
roe Doctrine, Asiatics should lock on
and allow America to dc as she pleases.
Fortunately. we have the league of ma
lions, and the powers should conquer
the aggressiveness of America in the
same way as they defeated Germany.

The clashes between the negroes and

Yorodzu (Tokio):

by the differences between the standards
of living and civilizations and by eco

ton Of his audience to the possibility
of a war breaking out in the Orient.
Sir Douglas Haig is not q statesman,
and it may be assumed that in making
the address he was speaking soberly
as an honorable soldier. 1t does not
seem that the Field Marshal is aware

of racial strife. What races have been

Africa such as is becoming human be-
ings; they are not permitted to enter
Australia. This alone suffices to cause
racial war.

reports of "The Times" at the end of
last year 100000 died from influenza

food for thought in the racial troubles

and set about amending their own at

hope for the maintenance Of future
peace.
Yomiuri (Tokio):
IFTER describing at great length
1 1 the treatment of negroes IN
america the "Yomiuyl" says:
Some attribute the fact that Japa-
nese immigrants in America are not
treated fairly, because Of their rude
manners and low standard of living
and to the fact that they do not know
the language of their adopted land.
1t is pointed out tina, the Japanese
immigrants cannot be naturalized in
America without remaining Japanese
in spirit.
The negroes have no fatherland
their forefathers have lived in America.
and they are as conversant in English
as whites; their manners and customs
are not so different from those of
whites as In the case Of immigrants
from the Orient.
The negroes publish several dailies

There IS something decidedly ia
miliar about that paragraph. 1t reads
like reprint from American papers
in the days before this country went
dry. Even more familiar is the song
of the secretary Of the Brewers AS
ISOLATION:
"Opposition in plenty is expected by
the prohibitionists. They recall the
scenes that were witnessed IN recent
years when radical changes in the
licensing laws were proposed. Now it
is assumed that in the counter cam
paign the liquor trade will take an
active part. But the secretary of the
Brewers Society said yesterday that
he considered it unlikely that it would
be necessary to organize any opposi-
ton. No worse time, from the tee
total point of view, could have been
chosen. 1T would be unwisc,' he said,
to underestimate the effort which is
about to be made to induce this coun-
try to vote for prohibition. Yet. as
far as can be seen. at no previous
time has the popular feeling against
1t been more pronounced, as will at
once become unpleasantly clear to any
speakers who organize an open meet
ing. 1t is not practical politics, and if
Mr.. 'Pussyfoot' Johnson foods the coun-
try with posters, cinema and other
pictures and speakers and tries to
adopt every possible means Of 'un-
derground' influence, and goes on do
ing it, as he has said he is ready to
do for years, he won't meet with much
success. He might as we'll attempt
to get the Frenchman to vote for a
wineless France"
