What the Kaiser Did

The trial of the Kaiser and his asso-
ciates will be more than a proceeding to
ascertain personal guilt and to assess
punishment. These things are impor-
tant, but even more important is some
thing else.
This something else is the uncovering
of all the facts relating to the launch
ing of the war. sThe non-German world
has a fair notion Of the essential facts.
Enough has been revealed to leave no rea-
sonable doubt. But it is doubtful if the
Germans know or ever will know, unless
there is a pitiless exposure---a ransack-
ing of archives and forcing of German
witnesses to tell the story 1t is almost
essential to have the Germans know.
From such knowledge will spring genu-
inc pacifcation.
There is no other way to get at the
full truth except to bring the offenders
to the bar There may be present of
lives which are justly forfeit provided
the future has the instruction derivable
from a complete inquiry. 1t is not vital
what is done to the Kaiser, but it is
vital to ascertain and publish exactly
what was done by the conspiracy which
he headed. The .oncoming generation
must not be vexed by confusing legends
and traditions.

Colorful Statistics

The latest monthly report of the Con-
troller of the Currency opens in the fol-
lowing entertaining manner:
"1he official records show that the
increase in resources since the call of
August 9, 1913, six years ago, has been
nearly $4,000, 100000 This huge
increase has taken place concurrently
with the successful notation and collcc-
tion of about $4,000, 100000 Of govern
ment bonds and short term obligations.
the majority of which, it appears, were
placed through the agency of the ma
tional banks"
The Controllers ecstasy as the VOL
ume Of money increases in the land is
notable. Dollars have increased at a
prodigious rate, and this fact is owing
mainly to the scale on which the gov
ernment has borrowed and spent money.
1t isn't that s25, 900, 100000 have been
"collected," as the Controller puts It,
but that they have been spent as fast
as they were collected that has, to a
certain extent, created the imitation Of
deposits and the imitation of prices.
The Controller extravagantly admires
the initiation of deposits and does not
associate them with imitation of prices.
While the Federal Reserve Board, in its
official statements, appears to seek for
ways and means to combat imitation, the
Controller is registering with satisfac-
ton every new banking expansion as
new and glorious achievement of the
icl,i l.
charge.
His instinct is to popularize his sub
jcct. There is hardly q report that does
rot mention some dazzling basis of COM
parison. At times we find American
banking resources compared with the
combined resources Of the Bank Of Eng
land, the Banque de France, the German
heichbank, and SO on It would not
occur, of course, to the average reader,
that the comparison is not being made
between the Federal Reserve banks and
these foreign government banks, nnd
that our total banking resources are not
being compared with the total banking
resources of these countries; but that
it is a comparison Of our banking re-
sources with only those Of the govern
rnent banks of other countries.
The Controllers statistics are too in
tercsting. We wish he could bring HIM
self to present them in simple vertical
columns, with the increases and de-
creascs marked out at the right, so that
one who cared might be able to deter
mine what banking conditions are. 1t
is not az difficult thing to do. Many
amazing headlines would be lost--but

NegLecting Our Our,
(Stof Correspondence

MIA, asked Manuel Quezon, head of the
mission, what lie thought of the possi-
bility \of Japan's peacefully colonizing the
islands as she is doing in California;:
Mr.. QUEzON-Why, Senator, we can't
prevent that, if Japan desires to do it.
Senator PHELAN--You can't prevent
that!
Mr.. QUEzON-No.
Senator PHELAN-That would be the
easiest way of conquest. wouldn't it?
Mr.. QUEZON-But, Senator, you are
not giving US protection to-day against
that system of conquest. The japanese
are going to the Philippine Islands to-
day and taking land there.
Senator PHELAN-Thc japanese are?
Mr.. QUEZON-Yes. sir. And the
Philippine Legislature enacted a law
limiting the ownership of land to Ameri-
cans and Filipinos, but that law required
approval of the President, and the State
Department was about to recommend the
veto Of the President, SO we had to with
draw it. Therefore we are not getting
any protection on that score from the
United States to-day.
Senator PHELAN-How long has it
been since that law was passed?
Mr.. QUEZON-Nearly two years.
Senator PHELAN-And our State De-
partment has refused it's approval?
Mr.. QUEZON--lt has indicated to the
Philippine Legislature that it could not
approve it,
Senator CHAMBERLAIN--The Senator
vol
State Department undertook to prevent
the California Legislature from passing
just such law
Mr. QUEZON--But California can leg
lslate on these matters, and we cannot
without the approval of the President of
the United States. SO in this respect we
are as badly off to-day as We would be
if we were independent, except that if
we were independent we would have alb
solute right to pass such laws, if we
deemed it necessary
Senator PHELAN-Possiblvi it was duo
in a diplomatic way, to the European
complications that the State Department
withheld it's approval Probably the
time is not ripe.
Mr.. QUEZON--In the mean time thew
are acquiring lands
Senator PHELAN--Are thew aconirinp
lands in large areas, large quantities?
Mr.. QUEZON-Not in any unusual way.
Senator PHELAN--W What is the att;-
tude Of your people toward that? Hav-
ing passed law by your own Congress
or Legislature, what is the attitude of
your people? Have they protested to
the government? Have there been sew
eral sessions Of the Legislature since
then?
Mr.. QUEZONYcs, sir; and the Lcris-
iature. passed that law again. The
Legislature tried to meet the objections
OF the State Department., and thcy
amended the law and passed it again.
Senator PHELAN--The Filipino people
can't acquire lands in Japan, can they?
Mr.. QUEZON-No, sir.

employment!

wv ASHlNCTON, July 3.--Why do our
w foreign traders think eagerly Of
Latin America, of Russia, of Asia,


wv foreign traders think eagerly of
Latin America, of Russia, Of Asia,
of Africa, and practically ignore the Philip
pines? The Philippines are not foreign
country--at least they ought not to be.
There tho American trader has three great
advantages, namely:
Cd The advantage of language and Gus
toms, because tho people speak English and
are adopting American manners and habits
so far as possible.
(2) The advantage Of good will, because
the people ere more favorably disposed tow
ard this country than toward any other.
co The advantage of almost unlimited
opportunity The country is very rich in
natural resources which the United States
needs. 1t directly affords a good market
for American goods. And the Philippines,
geographically, hold strategic trade posi-
ton, for within 900 miles of these islands
is two-thirds Of the entire population Of the
world.
Yet there is no American propaganda for
Philippine trade. Everywhere is indiffer-
ence, except among those who are for giving
up the islands. Meanwhile the Japanese
are embracing one of the great unimproved
opportunities on earth
Accustomed to think that the islands are
soon to be released, still inclined to con-
slider the Filipino head hunter and lack
ing government encouragement to develop
Philippine trade, the American business
man to-day is standing still while others
take advantage Of the unique possibilities
. Of the Philippines which have been created
by twenty years of benevolent American
administration without parallel in his
tory.
The Philippines are admittedly among
the richest of tropical countries. Philip
pine hemp is the standard of the world.
The cocoanut oil industry developed there
since the war has proved vegetable Klon-
dixie. The islands are rich in Oil, coal
OF a fair quality, other minerals, includ-
ing gold and copper, high class timber and
pearl fisheries and afford openings for some
of the greatest rubber and sugar planta-
tions ever projected.
The islands also possess the remarkable
harbor of Manila, situated in a strategic
position at the door Of the trade of the Far
East. Military questions aside, the islands
are the key to the Orient NEARLY half
of the worlds total population resides
within four days steaming of Manila"
Where does the United States stand to-
day in the race for this trade opportunity?
Behind behind both the Chinese and the
Japanese.
The Chinese, thrifty traders, control
about 90 per cent of the retail trade Of
the islands. But more significant is the
fact that the most aggressive commercial
force in the economic development Of the
islands to-day s exerted by the Japanese.
Japanese capital has recognized the oppor-
tunity in the islands and is rapidly getting
in on preferred basis. And 1t ia tho
policy OF the present Democratic adminis-
trntion to assist, indirectly at least, in fur
thering japanese penetration.
An interesting fact in this respect was
brought out in the hearings at which mem
bers OF the Philippine Mission testified
early in June. Senator Phelan, Of Cslifor-

are. But we not sending them. They
don't need to go there.
Mr. NOiAN-About how many Japanese
are there in the Philippine Islands?
Mr.. QuEZON-very few; about 10000
"a little over 10000.
Mr.. NOLAN-What percentage of them
native born born in the Philippines?
Mr.. QUEZON-Of the Japanese?
Mr.. NOLAN-Ycs.
MIR. QUEZON-I don't think there are
any.
Mr.. NOLAN-They don't have any
picture brides" come to the Philippines,
then?
Mr.. NCLAN--You understand what
picture bride" is?
Mr.. QUEzON- Oh, yes; understand
Mr. NCLAN-In other words, the re-
strictions are not so great on the Japan
csc coming into the Philippines as they
a1c coming into this country under Tie
'gentlemens agreement"?
MIR. QUEZCN--l don't think So
Mr. NCLAN-so they don't have to
practise the same deception?
Mr.. QUEZON-No.
1t is true that the Japanese are not as
wv Oi-tSiiLS TIE lSidl.NS Al great nulHDelS.
At present there are about o 600 Japarese
there, an Increase of several thousand 70
the last decade
Bat high percentage OF these are of
the commercial type They are shrcwd
business men. For example:
l. At the present time the japanese have
a monopoly on the coal imports on the
islands, and able despite government
coal company to charge high prices Aus
tralia, which formerly competed, is cut OF
by lack of ships, and the japanese are
pressing their advantage.
2 The japanese dominate the pearl fish
ing industry. The majority Of pearl divers
arc Japanese, and in. 1914 japanese owned
as many pearl fishing boats as all other
nations combined.
8. In October, 1917, japanese million
alre died at Kyoto who went to the Philip
pines sixteen years before as carpenter.
4. At the present time Japan stands sec
ond only to the United States in trade with
the islands. In 1914 only per cent Of
the Philippines imports came from Japan;
in 1917, II per cent In 1914 24 per cent
of all tonnage entering Philippine ports
was japanese; in 1915 "a per cent. and
new SnlpS lor IHlHpplne trade are being
added.
5. IN six months Of 1918 fourteen os six
teen corporations asking to buy land or
the island of Mindanao were financed hv
Japanese and practically all OF twent,.-fo,.~
corporations asking to lease lands were
Japanese.
g. Mindanao, one of the richest Of TIE

Japanese capital takes its own labor along
in the form of immigrants. Several thou
sand such immigrants have recentiv gone
INTO Mindanao, whore Japanese capita ISIS
nave taken up large holdings, particularly
near the Gulf Of Davao in some Of The
most fertile districts Of the islands.
japanese capital is allowed TO bring in
japanese labor without restriction.
7. American importers COMPLAIN that
cheap limitations of American goods are
now being thrown upon the Philippine
market.
These are only a few illustrations. They
are significant because they show the drift
OF things. 1t is all in favor of the
Japanese.
