JAPAN'S ATTITUDE

Japans statement of reasons Tor not discussing
the eastern question in the proposed disarmament
conference would make good basis for talk if
it were a Justices court proceeding. zap and
Shantung she says in effect are res judicata. They
have been passed upon by court of competent
jurisdiction. lo-Nvil, the League of Nations, and
duly certified copy of the judgment turned over
Japan, This jud gment can not be attacked in any
collateral proceeding. If Uncle Sam not
present 10 defend his interests and present his
views, it was his fault. as he had legal notice
Thus it runs, through the whole gamut Of falacous
FEASIBILITY.
Overriding this view is the fact, which every
American will stand by, that this country never
ratified the league covenant, never yielded to the
league of nations any of its rights acquired by the
war, and could not become legally morally
bound by any of the leagues proceedings. This
country views regarding zap. Shantung, Siberia
the open doc" in China or any other eastern
question, stand exactly upon the basis if
the league of nations had never existed. 7 his is
plain, and absolutely beyond controversy by any
authority OIL law IL 10 dullucN ny
France, England, Italy, and, we believe, by all
the minor powers concerned. Japan, alone, prefers
to stand as an International petfogger and obstruct
the course. and the only possible course, of dis
armament and world peace
One has to revert to the history of Germany in
the period just preceding the world war 10 find
parallel instances of national egotism and wilful-
ness. And even Germany, disregardng the rights
of others and trampling on the laws of nations,
usually managed to clothe her attitude in less re-
pulsively aggressive declarations
What is to be done when a nation takes that
stand? Shall this country yield? Shall the other
nations, though disagreeng in toto with her posi-
ton, concede the point for the sake of harmony?
Shall international law, in the future, SO far as
it affects Japan, be just what Japan pleases?
The fact that such questions can arise now,
after world war fought against an exactly sim
liar assumption by another bigoted power, is
ominous. Anarchy among nations is no safer
than anarchy within nations War is not the proper
remedy because war costs much and settles little;
but the nation which tries to substitute its own self
J.. interest for the deliberate judgment and will of
the world, should be made to feel the weight of
the world resentment in some effective way.

trade with south Florida thing Of history.
That's plain talk, with no forced optimism OBJ
scuring its unpleasant details. 1t is a condition
and not theory. and the only option before the
people of Tampa-and of south Florida gener-
ally--s either to die. in business sense, like rats
in trap, or fight like men for their rights and
their prosperity.
The remedy. which the Telegram has frequent
y named, is clearly described by the Times. We
must arrange for ships into Tampa and motor
transport lines radiating out of Tampa"
That is the remedy, and the only one worth
considering. The diagnosis of the situation by
the l ampa paper is entirely correct, except in one
important detail That is that Inc souh Florida
counties and cities are effected to exactly the same
extent as ampa. Lakeland. in particular, would
be ruined by the ruin of Tampa So would
score OF other cities, whose welfare is knit together
in hundred different ways, and whose future is
dependent upon the growth Of this great and poten-
TALLY high productive region, of which Tampa is
the natural outlet.
Ships and motor transport lines afford the
only possible relief as the elegram has more than
once pointed out. And a corporation with suf-
fcient capital to operate all the needed SHIPS and
another to operate the transport lines which should
include passengers as we'll as freight and be kept
down to basis CT rates not much over fifty per
cent of those now prevailing should be organized
1t is a matter of life CT DEATH
And it can be done. Florida is not inhabited by
paupers. lis citizens have the intelligence to rec
ognize their rights and the means to defend Them
If it takes FIVE molten dollars to put this system into
operation, that sum can be raised. If it requires
ten millions we need not despair. Just let the peo-
pie understand its Importance. Let them see that
we have reached The point, as the I lines so able
shows when we must either go forward or back
ward, and there is no danger that they will fail to
meet the occasion 1t is no time for false OPTIMISM
fer CLOSING over unpleasant facts; no time for re-
framing from telling the whole truth and pointing
out remorselessly the consequences which the pres
ent system, if not altered, will inevitably produce
Florida can meet this emergency, and in doing
SO ii can put its future prosperity upon basis
which earthly power can shake.

VICTORIAN DAYS

The age Victorian, methinks, produced some
able writing ginks although they're jeered at now
the modern welders of the pen insist that pru-
derry then behind each bullying brow The
authors of that bygone time wrote tales of love,
intrigue and crime, in palace and in hut; and
all their tales were good and clean, they wrote
up life, both high and mean, but left out all the
smut. The beastliness of life gadzooks! Why
write it up in mighty books, in language coarse
and curt? Why overlook the blooming rose to
show that soil from which it grows is largely
made of dirt? Our later scribes resolved to
strike against convention and the like and show
life it is; and when | read their stirring tales
of gas the sewer pipe exhales. / weep and cry
Gee Whit" They show up every morbid phase
of life lived these sordid days in slum and
den and sty, and If the tales they tell are
true, and life is such beastly stew, the world
had better die The prudes Victorian were wise;
they wrote of mirth and shining skies, clean
DANES and decent men; they knew the world had
filth and vice but figured that it wasn't nice with
such to soil the pen.

Wilbur Glenn Noliva, overseer of

day night address in Shiloh Taber-

"They write books on the law
