CHINA IS BONE OF CONTENTION
 IS JAP BELIEF

TOKYO (P) Belief that, if Japan's diplomacy towards China were con ducted so as to really promote the friendly relations between these two countries all troublesome questions between Japan and the United States would disappear, is expressed by Baron Kogoro Takahira, one of the authors of the famous Takahira-Root agreement. The baron, who formerly was ambassador to the United States gave his opinion in an interview to the Teikoku News agency, one of the important news gathering insti- tutiOns of Japan.
 Referring to the agreement he made with Elihu Root, the baron said:
 The object of the agreement, which was proposed at Japans in stance, was to avert collision of in terest in China of the high contract ing parties and to cement the bond of permanent amity and cordiality between them. At that time there were evident indications of the growth of anti-Japanese sentiments pervading China, while on the Pa cific many problems threatening the interests of Japan and the Japanese were brewing in Hawaii and the Philippines The situation and gloomy outlook gave rise to wild rumors calculated to be detrimental to the interests of and friendly relations between the two countries.
 The imperial government thereon proposed to America to enter upon negotiations for the conclusion of an agreement which resulted in the coming into existence of the Taka- hira-RoOt agreement with a view to sweep away all such injurious sensa- tional rumors. The agreement is sincere and candid in itself, and it is tantamount to attempt to break a sealed bond to question the virtue of the agreement or it's power to control international relations.
 Every country has a number of men of jingoistic type, who from their different standpoints make it their business to work against the interests of other countries With regard to the Amerfcan-Japanese questions which have come to arrest the keen attention of the public of late, l must warn the Japanese peO- pie not to give credit to what is re ported from time to time by des- patches but to wait and see the de yelopment of the situation maintain ing calm and magnanimous atti- tude.
 At the same time I must call the attention of my countrymen to the fact that most of the disputes and dissensions between Japan and Amer ica invariably arise from Chinese questions and if Japans diplomacy towards China be guided and con ducted in proper way so as to really promote the friendship between the two countries, all troublesome questions or complications between Japan and America will disappear. And yet l must admit that the set clement of the pending Sino-Japanese questions is the hardest of all diff ficult tasks"

CT and little harder, and produce more.
 That's all.
 It is so simple it iS almost funny.
 When we look over this broad land Gas the high school yalcdictorian says) and observe how every group of workers is striking for shorter hours. easier labor and more pay, we are forced to think that the above editorial suggestion will be about as welcome as a burglar.
 Still. why not!
 We worked hard enough during the war. to carry on the war, why not work now, 10 pay for the war!
 The Iaborcrs complain at the high prices, yet they are striking right and left and every strike helps boost the cost of things.
 That unions have improved the condi- tion of the workers there can be no doubt as the typical employer has been insensible to any argument but club. But the bad always comes along with the good, even as the tail goes with the hide, and in the ac- tuaI working out of labor unions they have operated to keep lazy and inefficient hands on the payroll
 In free competition the good workman gets more pay and better treatment than the shiftlcss. but the tendency of the union is to bring them to a level
 This is neither pleasant nor popular talk, but it is true.
 Why not start movement to do better work all around, and more of it!
 While we are swatting the profiteers and trusts, why not hand few we'll di rected kicks to the Ioafer?
 Why not abolish the Saturday half holiday for six months, till we catch up?
 Why not suspend the labor laws for g period and allow a man, if he wants to work ten hours instead of eight?
 Why cannot the American Federation of Labor declare a six months truce dur ing which no one shall strike? It would bring prices down more surely than any other measure, and to reduce prices does the worker as much good as to raise wages
 At the end of the six months we could go at cutting one another's throats again with renewed vigor.
 The only people who would be injured by such a truce are they that earn then money and get their power and prominence by their activities as trouble makers,
