Presidential election until the next that approx mately fifty per cent. of the American dictorate would vote the Democratic ticket and about fifty per the Republican. Elections turned very limited num- Der of votes in a few very close States.
 The figures here quoted resulted from far different conditions than those which existed in the old days of violent party opinions and devoted party attach ments. The people have become independent of parties. The Democratic Party responded first to the independence that now prevails when it submitted complete change of policy in the acceptance of Bryan leadership in 1896.

JAPLABOR, HUNGRY

Suziki, FIowery Kingdoms
Gqmpers, Now Losing
-. His Hold.

TOXIC, Aug. 1O.-The Japanese
Aiaborer no longer enjoys the oppor-
tunity> to make his voice felt, which
was his during the golden days OF
the boom war years, when the sup
ply of labor fell short of the de-
mand As the army of unemployed
increases, the man with job is will
ing to sing very small for fear that
he may BE- dismissed. The result
has been that whereas strikes re-
Gently were common. but very lit
tie is heard of such today.
On thetother hand, the workmen'
realizing their poweriessness, have
grown bitter, and while the unions
are losing in membership, owing
largely to inability to pay even
their modest dues. the ORGANIZATIONS
which survive are getting closer TO-
gether and are becoming more rad
ical in their views.
"The laborers are becoming more
and more in favor of direct action
says NJ Suzuki, the leader Of the
Japanese Federation Of Labor. Per
sonally Suzuki is against this. ana
as a result it is reported that he will
soon cease to be the leader. while
some one else who is more in har-
mony with the radical element Will
take his place.
The police, are resorting to their
usual tactics of suppressing anti
capitalistic speech wherever il crops
up. A recent meeting in Tokyo
wherein workmen attacked the mon
eyed classes and demanded their
rights" resulted in several arrests.
and the leaders of the various labor
societies are known to be closely
watched.
In the meantime the laborers are
getting closer together, making
common cause in times of adversely.
Thus the various associations of sea =
men of various classes recently
formed a great union uniting the
scattered organizations. and ii
seems quite likely that the workme
will emerge from their period of
adversely stronger and more deter

MAKES DEFENSE OF
DOLLAR DIPLOMACY
Declares Policy Is Neces
sary in Establishing
Trade Relations.

WILLIAMSBURG, Mass, Aug. 10.
-"Dollar diplomacy" is open only
to such criticism as may be made
against 1t when it unjustifiably
mixes economic and political inter-
ests, declared Prof. Achille vialatte,
Of Paris, in a lecture before the In
stitute Of Politics tonight.
Prof. Vialatte. considered by
many the foremost economist of
France, also said that although this
so-called dollar diplomacy" is in
defensible when it employs dishon-
est relationships between polite
ians and business men. nevertheless
governmental assistance of citizens
in establishing trade relations with
another country is necessary part
or a nations growth.
Defends Dollar Diplomacy.
After speaking of the manner in
which young and backward nations
have been developed by richer
countries through loans often made
on the basis of political expediency.
Vialatte said:
I am aware that dollar diplomacy
stands in bad repute. The very
mention of its name seems to sug
gest to people IN general an idea of
dishonest relationships between poll
ticians and business and feeling
that often business men ask for the
help of their own government to en-
force upon a foreign country the ac-
complishment of contracts obtained
by fraudulent means. In this case
dollar diplomacy is Irdefensible.
But is it not natural for a gov
ernment to help its citizens in their
efforts to open new avenues for the
trade and industry of their country :?
Is it not natural for a country to
endeavor to make an iil-goyerned
foreign state respect its bona ffde
contracts?"
Discusses Hays Policy.
Prof. Nialatte then turned to a
detailed consideration Of the events
marking economical and political
relations between the, great powers
and China during the war. He DIS
cussed in particular John Hays.
open-door policy and the adhesion
Of the UnitedStates in 1911 to the
tri-partite loan syndicate consisting
of Great Britain. France and Ger
many, in the terms then agreed
upon for the governancy Of rela-

As statement of the fundamental
factors justifying and even requir-
ing the employment of so-called
dollar dip cmacy" when that di-
plomacy is SO used as to make It
