Too Many Republics, Thinks

One worried governing class at this resides in
Japan,
Mikado word that in Japanese 'exalted gate" "

person. declares war; makes peace and treaties All things
are done "by virtue of the Mikado."
Since the accession in 1868 of Mutsu Hito supposed
to be the hundred and twenty first Mkado in straight
ne Japan has not taken too seriously the Mkados jap
title which is TenShi meaning Son of Heaven.
But Japan, leaving out the haf-fed half asphyXiated
Sultan of Turkey possesses the only real and important
ruler LEFT ON THE EARTH
The British King and Emperor highly respected is
convenience remaining at the will Of his people and ruling
what is in reality an admirably managed republic
Consequently Japan which finds herself the only old
fashioned monarchy with Russia Germany and Austria
wiped out is undoubtedly worrying about the spread Of
republican ideas on the earth.
Her next-door neghbor, China, is republic. That of
itself is irritating And irritating is the mpertinent
way in which China, hitherto at the mercy of Japan
demands her rights Paris and denounces japanese meth
DDS China evidently takes the League of Nations seriously
and believes Japan would need than a convenient
excuse to start fight.
Japanese anxiety about too much repubcanism in this
world and too little autocracy is reflected in the published
and very interesting that Japan will fight
the Reds in Siberia and supply men, money and
in return for mining concessions
To fight the revolutionary government Siberia means
of to help the element that would restore the Russian
monarchy, the Romanofs other family

cratic he may be at heart.
This indicates interesting times coming in the East
For the Chinese Empire, great elyfsh unable to con-

produces statesmen least intelligent the Japanese
and merchants intelligent.
And from on the attitude of China will be very
different from what it has been the past since civilization
has officially announced that nations must not butcher each
other without permission from headquarters
In other words China looks at and talks Japan
as Independently Chinese laundryman would talk to
Japanese sword gentleman in the Chinese quarter with

marriages being unhappy. l am an

self and the said foreigner. We are
