There Are Two Japans Frank A. Vander[p F0un
Americas Informal Mission Of Friend
ship Returns With Plea for
aBetter Understanding

st. Louis attorney; Harry Benedict,
n business associate of Mr.. Wander
lip; Julian Street, DR.. Edward Null
ligan and Henry Serenbetz. Be-
sides, these ladies were in the party
Mrs. Fanderlip and Miss Narcissus
Vanderlip; Mrs. Taft, Mrs. Schur-
man, Mrs. Kingsley, Mrs. Street and
daughter; Mrs. Cromwell, Mrs.
Clarke and Miss Clarke, and Mrs.
Davis. The members of the group
were entertained with all the hos
pitality for which Japan is cele-
brated.
Although the American unofficial
delegates conferred with the lead
ing figures in the Japanese govern
ment, the meetings were necessarily
wholly informal and without official
force. To clear up pending misun-
derstandings, Mr.. Vanderlip now ad-
vocates the prompt appointment of
a joint high commission to find a
common ground on disputed mat
ters.
For a Joint Commission
81 believe" said Mr.. Vanderlip,
when asked whether he had any i'm
mediately practical proposal to
make, "a joint high commission
ought to be established and it's find
ings be made as nearly binding as
possible, though, of course, the
treaty-making power could not be
delegated to it. The commission
ought to be composed Of excep-
tionally qualified men on both sides,
and ought to take up not merely
the fresh attempt in California to
limit the rights of Japanese resi-
dents, but also other sources of ir-
rltation. The appointment of such
a commission would require Con-
gressional authorization, and this, Of
course, would mean delay.
"There is no phase of our Japan
ese relations that cannot be ami
cably settled if we use courtesy and
kindliness. The Japanese are great
ly moved by courtesy and tremen-
dously disturbed by the lack of it.
"Our Japanese problem is not an
immigration problem. Japan, through
a gentlemen's agreement, has agreed
that there shall be no more immigra-
tion to the United States, and has,
believe, kept its engagement. The
people of California have the gen.
eral notion that it has not, al
though the criticism has been more
against our own Administration than
against the Japanese, who assert
they have sedulously observed the
agreement.
"My own opinion, in regard to
Japanese immigration, has changed
as a result of my trip. I am now
opposed to opening the door to the
Japanese, not because they are in
ferior, but because they would come

"In this situation, ou~ attitude
ought to be: First, one of sym
pathetic understanding of their
problem, which is primarily a food
problem. Second, we ought to rec
ognize the political situation in
Japan, which has had an amazing
transition from feudal government
under imperial domination toward
democracy.

that Americans ought better 20 un-

problem, with which all Of its con-
duct IS ncccAsarily associated,

New-York tribune., 1920-06-20
How America Can Helm

Prom my observation, think we
Americans can help by being more
sympathetic toward Japan, and un-
derstanding the various forces at
play Then, too, we ought not to
lose faith in Japan when things are
done that can be criticized. More
over, we ought not to lose faith in the
government even when it fails to
carry out all its promises, for it is
still impotent. Lastly, we should have
faith in the growth of the demo-
cratic party of high ideals"
Before leaving Toxic a month ago
Mr.. Vanderlip said to his japanese
hosts:
you are entitled to leadership,
but it must be unselish and right
leadership. No selfish motives, no
plan of reaching out and grasping
and keeping others out can compare
in the final result with policy that
is right-minded and fair to other
people.
"Now we are going home, and we
want to know not how we can repay
this hospitality. for we can never
repay it. but how to do our duty. If
you make mistakes we shall be sorry
and you will be sorry, but we will
have faith because we know the
hearts Of the people"

Most Ambitious People
"The japanese are the most ambi-
tious people in the world. They want
to make of Japan a great nation,
measured by Western standards.
And we ought to be sympathetic,
helpful and cooperative. Their attf-
tude toward us ought to make US feel
the weight Of responsibility. They
want our guidance, approval and
help.
"They understand us in a broad
gauged way-infnitely better than
we understand them. They follow
American developments closely, and
understand, for example, how diff
cult it is for our Federal govern
ment to control the actions of the
State of California.
"In the United States we are sus-
picious of the whole aim of Japan.
"We think the japanese are mill
taristc.
"We think there is no sincerity In
their remarks about the open door
policy.
eve think they want to extend
their territory and their political
power by military means. And there
have been acts enough on the part of
Japan to make a basis for these be-
lefs, but they do not represent the
attitude of the civil government or
Of most Of the people Of Japan. They
are the acts of the military branch
of the government, which has loose
relations with the civil branch. The
tendency, though, is in the direction
Of political control Of the army. If
we get through the next few years |

the civil government will become the

"They must either export manu-
factures and import food, as Eng
land does, or they must export
people.
"My own feeling is that they will
do both.
No Government
"Then consider the background.
One>third Of tho worlds population
in Asia is without any government
worthy Of the name. In. Siberia
there is literally no government.
There IS no money there that is
readily acceptable, although there is
plenty Of paper currency; no bank
ing; nothing necessary for law and
order. The Japnncso say they have
10 600 troops IN Siberia making an
attempt to maintain order. They
originally went there with the
Allies, but the latter and the United
States have no policy in regard to
Siberia and gradually withdrew
their forces. The Japanese went
back alone.

action Of the troops In Siberia, and

are not translated always into the
conduct of the army in the field.
"And in this chaotic situation we
in the United States sit back and
do nothing. We take on no real
responsibility that involves the
spending of effort. We merely lean
back and criticize what the Japa-
nese do. We have no policy of our
own"
"Mr. Vanderlip, you say that it
seems likely that the japanese will
have to export people. Does that
mean that they expect to colonize in
Asia?" was interjected at this point.
"The Japanese say" Mr.. Wander
lip rejoined, "that they have no de-
sire to colonize in China. They have
no desire to invade China, they as
sert, except in limited way; they
want to extend trade and want ac-
cess to raw materials which they
must have to develop.
"They say to Americans, Here is
our problem Our population is in
creasing faster than we can take
care of it. What do you want US to
do?' And we ought to try to help
them solve their problem"
"Have you yourself any solution
! to offer?" was asked.
"Of course" the fnancier replied,
there is at hand a vast potential
market in China, but the japanese
have raised race prejudice there
and as a result there is now a very
effective boycott in China against
japanese goods. The situation is very
difficult, and | can see no easy solu-
ton.
Japan has scant supply of coal
and iron, and there is an unlimited
supply of both in China"
Japan and England
"Can Japan, in your opinion, meet
its economic needs by following the
example of England?" the interview
er inquired.
Japan, of course, is placed much
as England is-a densely populated
series of islands. The population is
greater than the islands themselves
can support. England had a similar
problem, and met it. But England
had three great advantages.
First, it has a great supply of
coal. 1t has more than it needs and
has been able to give coal to ships
that come to its ports with food
stuffs.
"Second, England has huge
supply Of iron, the basic metal for
all industry.
And third, England had the ex-
trenlely important advantage of be-
ing first in the worlds markets. ar
advantage which must not be under.
estimated.
For its part, Japan lacks coal anc
iron, and the markets of the woriC
have been preempted. Moreover
Japan is not trained to mass pro.
duction. Besides, there are obstacles
on the political side which make it
difficult for Japan to follow Eng
lands example of exporting manu-
factures and importing foodstuffs.
"And yet the Japanese have al
ready done much in this direction
Exports in recent years have been
developed prodigiously. The Japa-
nese live with intense frugality and
are people Of great industry. Re

true, for we cannot think of Japan
as a unity. There is in Japan fine
liberal democracy with the best sort
Of aspirations which firmly believes
that Japan has a great destiny to
perform and which has no desire to
accomplish that destiny by military
exploits. 1t neither wants to acquire
territory nor political power through
the use of the army. This move
ment is supported by most of the
business men of Japan and by the
present occupants of the civil offices
Of the government.
"And then opposed to this group
ing is the military party trained in
the ideals of the Prussian school,
which is harsh and brutal in admin
istration. When separated by long
distance and such control as Toxic
can exercise, the military men are
guilty of atrocious methods, and at
best the control of Tokio-that is, the
civil arm of the government-is un-
certain. This military class is AFRO
CANT and viciously ambitious. At
times it displays an independence of
action and contempt of control that
is dangerous, and no one sees that
danger more clearly nor feels
greater apprehension about it than
the .Tapanese themselves.
