JAPAN FEARS THAT RESTRAINT COMING
Press Discusses Rumors That England and United States
 Will Take a Hand
By Associated Prsss

|s Tokio, September LA belief prevail
 ing in Japan that the United States and
 England may join hands in restraining Japan in her far eastern policy has been
 the basis of much comment in the press Japan's brilliant writer, Iichro Tokuto-
 mi, the editor of the military organ, the
 kokumin. wrote special article on 4 American-En glish relations, in which he called the United States the "enfant ter rIble' of the world. Mir. Tokutomi re-
 gards the prospect of cooperation be- tween England and America with some anxiety. The world will be obliged to agree
 with what they agree, he observes, but he consoles himself with the thought that such cooperation is unlikely, owning to American suspicious of England and lack |of world knowledge.
 to the position Of England as arbiter of
 the world, Mir. Tokutomi says:
 But there comes England's competitor
 whom England at least in her heart fears
 as formidable power. America may be
 called an exposition of the worlds dif-
 ferent races. But the mainstay of the
 American people is the Anglo-Saxons. England and America are brother na- |tions with the Atlantic between them. The destiny of the world is now en- trusted to these brother nations.
 'Tf they should cooperate in the work |of solving the problems of the world however unreasonable the result of such |solution may be, the world will be obliged Ito agree" thinks MT. Tokutomi. But he asks: 'Is America willing to act the role |of younger brother and follow England g

 TO think that America will follow the lead of England as younger brother dutifully obeying orders in the solution of the world problems and will be the unique supporter of England is the ob- servation of blind man.
 MT. Tokutomi describes the Americans in this way. Tn a word, the American IS rustic person. who does not know anything about the world He enjoys globe-trotting and Europe is his pleasure ground where he dumps his money. But on alf occasions he carries his own travelling bag. Consequently, aside from satisfying his own desires for pleasure he does not enlighten himself very much by his observations Of the world.
 In short, Mir Tokutorni observes, the war has Americanized the world rather than influenced America. Mir. Wilson 5 advocacy of the characterization of the world was, in his opinion, an illustration of how the American tries to measure the world with the rule he applies to his own country The American considers that it is his mission to force American. ism upon other nations.

 In the center stands the Crosse Deutsche party. Broadly. 1t is grouped with the conservatives. hut it's course in the present assem bly, has been to vote this way and that on vital measures ob- viously to preserve it's strong balance of power in the house and to strengthen it's hand in the coming elections by an ap- peal to both factions.
 The assembly now stands seventy nine Christian socialists, eighty-one social democrats and twenty-siS Crosse Deutsche deputies.
 Political observers generally agree that the complexion of the next assembly will not be materially altered and that an- ether coalition ministry must be looked for. They predict that both the big par ties will lose slightly to the Crosse Deutsche, giving it position of greater advantage and strength in a new coali- tion ministry than 1t has yet enjoyed.
 General opinion is that in such an event the Crosse Deutsche group will ally itself wholly with the right in all important measures and issues This is conceded by the election appeal of the socialists, which joins the Christian so- cialist and Crosse Deutsche parties in blame for the failure of the present gov ernment to put through the reforms the socialists advocated.

By Associated Press

Dublin, September 16.-No attempt has yet been made by the government to sup press effectively the sim Fein civil courts. Where the Sim Feiners arrest and try prisoners for criminal offenses the police interfere, release the men charged and break up the courts where they can be discovered. But civil trials, in the nature of arbtrations between willing parties, are openly held every day. In many districts they have com pletely superseded the Kings courts and the litigants appearing before them in- clude members of every class in the com munity, unionists as well as national ists.

! fore 1t sets in. and closes down all opera

| The negotiations for an armistice bo.
! tween the Poles and Russians preliminary
10 peace has Jagged for many weeks. with
| the Poles accused by tho Russians Of pur-
! posely delaying them with the Wow of con-
tinung aggressive operations in order to
! achieve more decisive military advantage.
Doubtless there is II good deal of truth in
this accusation. But with the series OF vic
tories recently achieved by the Polish
forces. eliminating this week in tho capture
OF the Fourth Red Army, with all of It's
war equipment. there would seem to be
reasonable grounds for expecting the Polish
government to instruct its peace conference
representatives to hasten negotiations for
concluding armstice. and for definite
terms of peace TO which the respective
sides are willing TO subscribe TO end the
war
With the military position OF Poland re-
versed from what it was when the armisticc
was first undertaken. it is easily foreseen
that it will be able to dictate such terms
as will fully protect its sovereignty aud Sc
cure all OF the territorial rights awarded to
it by the Paris peace conference. If Rus
STA comedies these demands Poland would
be foolish to amplify them to include con-
cessons that would encroach upon Russas
rightful territorial claims, as ultimately it
would mean a renewal Of war between the
two countries, with the outcome, in all
probability, seriously adverse to Polish in
terests.
In the event that 4 peace is concluded
ut this time, it will likely be blow TO
the prestige OF the present Bolshevist
regime that will bring it into such disfavor
with the Russian people that ere many
more weeks they will rise up and hurl it

Of its autocratic misruc thus undermined

fcnsive campaign against Poland the Rus
sian people can be depended on to defy
1t at home, and from defiance they will
soon become emboldened to hurl it alto
ge,her from power and to substitute for
il government OF their own choice and
creation.
Altogether. the signs point TO speedy
decline of Bolshevistic rule in the land OF
it's origination and IT'S permanent disap-
pearance from power as reproach to
twentieth century civilization. God speed its
quick exit. II is stencil in the nostrils
