SHALL JAPAN FIGHT THE
UNITED STATES?

The attention of pacifsts who ad-
vocate unpreparedness, and of all
citizens who are doubtful about the
wisdom of Washington and Rooseve-
velt, is directed to the interesting de-
bate at Tokyo before 1000 university
students. "Shall Japan Fight the
United States?" was the question.
There was unanimity of opinion that
Japan would be justified in declaring
war because of the attitude of the
California people, but naive intima-
tons that American preparedness
would make the performance both
difficult and dangerous.
Japanese statesmen are not so in
genuous as these young college de-
baters of Nippon, but we may be as
sured that the same lettering con-
siderations are running through their
sagaciou. minds. If the United
States had no army or navy, if paci-
fists outnumbered the advocates of
this moment with public demonstra-
tons for war.
No one in the United States wants
war with Japan. The war talk, the
clustering, is all across the Pacific.
W biiy ndil bHt IlSUI 10 OTueF our
national family life and distribute our
land titles in ways that will best
serve the national welfare and safety.
That right we freely concede to ia
pan and other countries. We readily
sec the wisdom and justice of the
japanese law prohibiting alien own
ership of land, and of the japanese
laws excluding Chinese and Korean
immigration.
But the japanese want double
action state of affairs, under which
Japan will be held exclusively for the
Japanese. while the United States
will be open to Japanese invasion and
the Pacific coast to Japanese exploit
tation.
These are matters of purely domes
tic concern and regulation. The Jap
anese now here must be treated with
civility and protected in all their
rights of person and property. Blu
shut the door against further Japan,
csc immigration, and guard our sol
against further japanese ownership.
that will be our affair. American ma
tional policy must be formulated at
Washington, not at Tokyo.-Spokes

Plenty of writers before 1914 had

them, would have caused his fiction
to be rejected as irrational and i'm

world being dragged into the war or

Such an instance occurred as all
the world knows, when this country
went into the big war. Never was
there a more impressive outburst of
sincere idealisfh. And what has be-
come of that now? The author seems
to suggest the answer to that ques-
ton, when he says that "Idealism is
an expensive luxury. The richest of
nations cannot afford to indulge in it
too often. 1t costs money; it wastes
energy and it involves danger. After
one idealistc debauch, a nation must
rest and sleep it off, so to speak. and
store up strength and enthusiasm for
the next one. Nor are rest and re-
cuperation the only thing required.

There is much truth in this, too. II
goes far to explain the present re-
lapse, which makes the nation seem
to many people oblivious of the things
that recently inspired it, or if it
thinks of them at all, resentful that it
ever professed and followed such high
purposes.

work in his home state and in Mis-
souri, during the campaign. Conse-
quently he will seek a speech in either
Kansas or Missouri-with Kansas City
as a one speech compromise.
The plan to provide for a western
swing by Senator Harding was APP
proved both by Senator New and
Adams. Both are active in directing
the work of the national committee
from the central offices in Chicago.
In few days the proposal will doubt
less be discussed by Will H. Hays, ma
tional chairman, and by Senator Hard
ing. The matter will be presented
when Chairman Hays meets the presi-
dental nominee for another confer
ence.
The fact that a hard fight is to be
made turnout all of the middle states
indicates that Chairman Hays will
back the Mulvane plan and will use
his influence to induce Harding to
make the trip. Under no circum-
stances, tho, will a rear platform cam
paign be INDUCED in by the candidate
Mulvane himself disapproved such a
plan, altho he was strong in urging
that the Harding message to the crop
growers, stockmen and shippers of the
west be taken to the voters in per-
sona1 appeal by Harding.
In event a series of Harding
speeches are made on the western
trip, Kansas is virtually certain to Sc
cure at least one date.

John Adams, exofficio chairman of the
national committee, it was agreed that
an effort would be made to induce
Senator H-rding to make at least one
swing into the middle west country.
The plan was submitted by Mulvane
during a conference in which numer-
Gus matters relative to national cam
paign policies were discussed.
To Visit Rural Districts.
There is a strong possibility that
Senator Harding's trip may call for
speeches in several states In any
event, tho. there is a practical GER
tainty that the nominee is to visit the
rural districts at least once during
the campaign.
The purpose of the Harding inva-
sion lis to define most clearly
and positively his views regarding
agriculture, the railroad transporta-
ton and labor issues. These questions
were clearly set forth in the Harding
speech of acceptance, it is believed by
headquarters chiefs. but an emphasis
of the nominees position would be
given by a personal trip to the big
crop growing districts.
