AMERICAN
SHANGHAI WIRELESS.

1t is a matter of congratulation
in the interest OF the worlds COM
munication that America has estab-
Iished a wireless station at Shang-
hal to facilitate communication
with China. There may be some
thing wrong n the American pro
cedure but japan had better try 10
share in the benefits OF the service
instead of opposing it, II Japan
maintains a similar service it will
be beneficial not only to Japan but
to China. The fact that the Ameri-
can enterprise has been undertaken
almost entirely with the donations
Of American business men in China
points to the greatness OF tho am
bitions of American merchants. The
Japanese merchants can do moth
ing except with the assistance Of
the government ought to take a les
son from the attitude of the Ameri.
can business men. 1t goes without
saying that promotion OF communi-
cation between Japan aud China IS
a means Of furthering the friendship
of the two countries.-Osaka Asahi

ERicAS
LARGEST NAVY"

Americans are fond of having the
biggest things in the world. We
nave no objection to this inclina-
ton; Oh the contrary, we welcome
it as indicative of the spirit of a
new and progressive people, but if
they propose to have the biggest
navy in the world we cannot but be
concerned.
For an extension OF ornaments
there ought to be valid reasons.
what Is responsible for the propos-
al TO extend the American navy?
America finds no meance in Europe
1t is true that the position of the
British navy has been made strong
er through the destruction OF the
Gelmnn navy, but the preservation
OF naval supremacy Is a geographi-
cal and traditional policy of Great
Britain and there is nothing new in
II. Some say that the objective Of
the naval extension of America is
the British navy. We do not know
whether this is true or not, but If it
IS true Great Britain could not al
ford to sit idle; If America built
one ship, Great Britain would build
as many or more ships. There
would thus ensue similar competi-
ton between. the two countries to
that between Great Bvitain and Ger.
many before the world war. There
were various reasons for the war,
but no one can deny that one of the
principal causes was glo-German
competition in naval extension. Be
fore the war the world had only an
armed peace which was chiefly due
to the extension OF German arma-
ment. In a sense 1t may be said
that the war was waged to bring
down the prime mover in armament
extension. If America now takes
the lead in extending ornaments.
the world will again be turned back
TO the days of armed peace. We
do not necessarily urge that Amer
lea should join the League of Ma.
ton, but we cannot help wishing
that she will not open the ball for
competition in armament extension.
Some time ago, speaking in the
House of Representatives Admiral
Rodgers emphasized the necessity
Of Americas having the worlds
largest navy. It is to be hoped that
such an opinion will not gain
ground in Yamato CTok.

friendly relations with Italy and
France" This is practically ven
tilation of the wishes and inten-
tons of the Japanese, and it reveals
an optimistic view OF the relations
Of America toward the AngloJapan-
csc Alliance.
No sensible japanese or American
thinks OF war between Japan and
America; If complications should
ever occur between the two coun-
tries they will surely be settled by
primary methods In a manner sat
isfactory to both parties. There are
not wanting men in England, how
ever, who dream of a Japanese
American war. and it is hoped that
the views of the Italian paper will
disillusion them. The world war
has not made the position Of Great
Britain in the Orient any the safer,
nor has 1t caused any noticeable
change in. Japan's position. Both
japan and Great Britain will have
to feel the menace of Russo-Ger-
man alliance. Besides safeguard
ing the interests of the two coun-
tries, the Anglo-Japanese Alliance
will serve the purpose of preserv-
ing the peace of the world The re-
uewal of the Alliance will mean the
continuance Of Japan's cooperation
with the Anglo-Saxon race and
friendship between Japan. Great
britain and America will be univers-
ally recognized In other words, it
will practically be triple alliance
designed to preserve the peace of
the world Jill (Tokyo.).

THE RAILROAD
STRIKERS

What is now known as the ."out-
law" railroad strike is spreading out
widely. 1t began with the yardmen
in Chicago. It has extended east
ward to our own shores and as far
westward as Los Angeles on the Pa
cific Coast 1t is occupying such
strategic railroad points as Kansas
City and Buffalo. Within the ranks
OF the brotherhoods the strike Is
widening out from the yaTdmen,
who belong to the Brotherhood OF
Railroad Trainmen, to include fire
men and engineers belonging to
those two brotherhoods.
The damage so far done to the
public and general labor interests
is considerable Tens Of thousands
of stock yard and other workers
have been forced into idleness and
loss of pay: food and fuel shortage
threaten. and their prices are rising
in consequence. Similar results
must follow In all affected places
ard react with costly effect upon
the strikers themselves.
But far greater than this is the
CdmdRe Which tuS Sllihelo are uo
ing to their own cause of organic
ed labor and its policy Of collective
bargaining. They are in rebellion
against their own leaders. They are
repudiating their own contracts
and demonstrating by their present
faithlessness that it would be idle
for any employer hereafter to deal
/ with them collectively. They are
even organizing into Independent
unions against the old brotherhoods
and so are trying to destroy the
great power acquired for their
members through years Of compre'
hensiye solidarity.
From their own standpoint the
folly Of il all is unsurpassed. The
railroads could not possibly have
done so well in recovery of their
old grip on the railroad labor situa.
ton as these rebellious brother
hood men are doing for them.-NeW
