'Nation Must Bear Odium
Of Japanese Acts in
China,'' Says Far
East Editor
People and Press Aware of JAP
anese Exploitation
in Chinese
Provinces

Tokyo-That the Japanese people
as a whole must bear the odium at
taching to Japan's policy in China is
the viewpoint of the Far East, an in
fluential Tokyo weekly. 1t is point
ed out that. while there are sections
OF Japanese public opinion which do
not approve of Japan's activities in
China, there is no concerted cry to
bring to book those statesmen who
cause Japan to become discredited in
the eyes of the world.
"The Japanese Press" goes on the
Far East, ARE not ignorant of the
character of the men who have been
sent over to that country in recent
years for the sole purpose of exploit
tation by statesmen who, it is char
liable to assume, believe they are
serving the interests OF their country
but who act on their own initiative
and are not subject to any sort of
control A parallel to recent Japa-
nese acts in China may be found in
the early activities of the East India
Company, in the activities of War
rem Hastings and other exploiters of
India in the eighteenth century-and
our point is that public opinion in
distant England was alive and alert
to the mischief it was possible for
these uncontrolled agencies to cause,
and they were brought to account.
"The Japanese should also be on
the watch. The Japanese press is al
ways ready to discuss the activities
of the Nishiharas and others in Chi
ma, who may or may not be guilty of
great political crimes, but no Japa-
nese has called for a commission to
investigate these charges and no
commission would be appointed if
they called for same The whole ma
tion must bear the odium to the acts
of small group of men whose work
in China avoids the light of day. Let
the people rule"

day at 1880. Mr.. Hebert gave the
workers few seconds to dispose OF
their lunches, then launched upon his
subject tc convince them that they
should not renig now when their
country needed them mostly He
told of what the consequences would
have been had the war lasted two
months longer, and what it would
have cost Uncle Sam to continue its
prosecution. This would have neces-
STATED much larger bond issue, he
said, and instead of paying for the
final cost of the war with the Fifth
Liberty Loan, the money would have
been spent for carrying it on further.
"They have<named it thelVictory
Loan" said Mn>Hebert, but in real
ity it is losH Of thanksgiving. I
believe that yuHeople of Morgan
City are.just patriotic now as
when the honor Of America was first
challenged by the Hun. I believe
that you stand as ready to back Uncle
Sam as when he first called upon you
to givetup your sons and brothers TO
defend the glory of the stars and
stripes! l believe that you are go
ing to unite for the success of the
Fifth liberty the same as you united
for the other loans, when you put

true, but the cost of taking them ou.

our right of freedom is staring Us in

that we are ready to plank down

tail has proved stumbling block tc

Immense sums of money, il has
been Elearned, can be raised by auto

This was not new method, but its
possibilities had never been learned
that large sums in the aggregate can

less, suppose, upon the payment Of
dues. In one place-Bucyrus, Ohio
this method of raising money for
Liberty Loans and other similar OBJ

extensive scale that it is now pro-
posed by similar means to put up
several new club buildings and a con-
