Information is Needed-And Lacking
The State department is worried.
1t ought to be. 1t has several things
to worry over 1t has Mexico, Ger
many, and the general European tur-
MOL to think about, but apparently it
knows little about any of them. And
now arises a cloud and a rumble in
the East which is Japan. and the
State department knows just as little
about Japan as about it's other
problems.
Before Secretary Lansing was
elected frcm the department he
begged and urged the reorganization
Of the staff and the intelligence serv-
ice to make it adequate to the great
ly enlarged responsibilities which the
war had brought upon it AS far as
can be learned the supply Of informa =
ton as to what is going on in the
several countries mentioned is
meagre and not absolutely reliable.
The department does not know, for
instance, what is going on between
Russia and Japan. but can only sur
mise on the basis of reports that con-
stantiy vary in tone. There are a
few facts, however, that may be
matched up to form the plot of a
plausible and threatening story. We
are not bowling about the yellow
peril but simply looking things in the
eye.
Japan Is at present under the in
fnence and control Of the aggressive
and militaristic party whose slogan
IL expansion now, while the world is
too busy with it's other troubles to
ply much attention to Japan. Not
for parade only is she building up
such a navy as her present program
calls for. Her natural and coveted
field is China first, and other parts Of
Asia later, and she has a bit of a
crouch against the nations which pro-
tested and continue to protest the
Shantung deal incorporated in the
Versailles treaty. This crouch is in
tensif1ed by the fact that the Anglo
Japanese alliance is renewed for one
year only, which is taken to mean
practically the severance of their I'M
ity and to foreshadow the possible CO.
operation of the United States and
the British empire on the Pacific.
Evidences are numerous that as a
means Of popularizing the naval pro-
gram and Of giving the desired slant
regarding these two countries. pro.
paganda is being circulated represent
ing England as about to become ag-
gressive in the Pacific through ac-
QUESTION of the German islands and
East African colonies At the same
time the radical question in America
Is brought to the fore and kept there.
Less than a week ago the japanese
State department ordered an investi-
cation of fire in California town
which burned buildings occupied by
japanese, although the japanese con-
sui gave his opinion that there was
no cause for suspicion of anti-Japan-
csc activity.
so far the administration at Wash
lngton has dealt with Japan much as
IT did with Mexico and with Germany
before we entered the war, so that
Japan hardly knows what to expect.
but has learned not to be much awed
by whatever communications she re.
ceAves. She is now watchfully wait
