Sounding a note that the
next war NAV be fought between
Japan and the United States. and
declaring that war is an anachron-
ism-that it is the vermiform ap-
pendix of civilization, and that its
function is lost" Henry r. Rath-
bone of Chicago. former president
of the Hamilton club, addressed the
Rotary club in the Rock Island
club today on the disarmament con-
ference at Washington, evoking
outbursts of applause at his refer
ence to the stand taken at the con-
ference by the United States, and
particularly in his peroration, Il
want to see my country not only
the economic. the commercial, the
financial leader. but the moral
leader of the world as we'll"
Picturing in a most vivid man
ner the dire consequences to hui
mainly in case another world war
should break out, Mr.. Rathbone
warned his hearers that Japan is
at present situated such as Ger
many was before the outbreak of
the last conflict, and that the vel
low peril might become a reality
at any time, unless something was
done, and done now, to bring about
world peace.
The open door policy enunci-
ated by Secretary of State John
Hay in regard to the Chinese stu
alton was a direct blow at Japan s
ambitions, as China has everything
which Japan has not and must
have" continued the speaker. And
the attitude of the United States
since the proclamation of that pol
icy has irritated Japan; our Cali
fornia exclusion law, our protest
against Japan's acts in Korea. our
insistence that Japanese troops
evacuate Siberia, our dominance in
the Hawaiian islands with Homo
lul at the cross roads of the Pa
cific, all these things have created
AN anti-American feeling in Japan"

safest place, he affirmed would be
in the dugouts with the soldiers,
because of the progress made in
the invention of instruments OF de-
struction- In war, nothing is GER
tain. except the expense, said Mr..
Rathbone.
Some pessimists believe the con-
ference will fail" he said, but even
if it does, it will have accomplished
good. for the United States will at
least know the lineup of the ma
tons, and what to expect.

THE conference is wrongly call

total but limited disarmament, and
its second great purpose is to eradi-
