JAPAN'S MONROE DOCTRINE

The statement which we have seen repeated
number of times that Japan, in refusing to
slider the far eastern question at the armament
conference, is simply adapting the American Mon
roe doctrine to eastern conditions is a thousand
miles from accuracy. There may be some super
fetal resemblance between the japanese doctrine
of supremacy in the east, and our doctrine of nom
interference of eastern powers in the west but
the underlying principles are Numerically oppo-
site
This country said to The world, more than
hundred years ago, that American territory was no
longer subject to colonization by Europeans. Its
purpose was not only to protect itself from neigh
bors that might prove dangerous, but to protect
the new republics of the west from European ag
grcssicn. The Monroe doctrine was not aimed
at Mexico and South America but at the powers,
whoever and wherever they might be, who might
seek to overthrow and destroy their governments.
1t is not an economic doctrine, at ALL and never
has there been any exclusive or preferred claim
to any commercial advantage made under it by
this country; but it is purely political doctrine
which, IN practice, can be invoked, only when some
foreign power. by force or guile. is seeking to over
throw some of the American sisterhoods of govern
ment.
Japan's policy is differently motived. Its object
is to for Japan the advantages Of trade and
development in China and other countries bordering
the Pacific 1t not for the purpose of protecting
but despoiling those peoples. 1t is not directed
against outsiders but against its neighbors. 1t is
not political. except in SO far as political action
may be made 10 further trade, but economic
1t amounts to an assertion of monopoly of eastern
commerce.
To trace any resemblance between this policy
and our Monroe doctrine is simply TO disregard the
whole purpose and aim of Americas relations with
other western republics.

MORALS AND MACBETH

A thought is a guest of the brain. Before it is
admitted to the inner sanctuary should be scpu-
tinized carefully.
The motive of Shakespeare's great drama of
Macbeth may be said to be this very theme, though
he leaves its elucldaon to the reader.
You have read the first witch scene, when the
three sisters around the bubbling cauldron hailed
Macbeth first as Thane of CLAIMS, then as Thane
of Cawdor and last as King to be- And you have
noted, Of course, that the resolve to commit the
crime which was to put barren sceptre in his
grippe was born of that incident But did you
ever apply the rules of modern PSYCHOLOGY to it
and try to determine exactly what took place?
Macbeth had undoubtedly thought of the crown
as the goal Of his ambition before he met the
witches. He had even visioned the course required
to attain it. But he had accepted those ideas
tentatively. He had taken them into his mind as
casual guests. probably with no serious thought of
permitting them to alter the honorable and patrioc
course of his life.
But those thoughts had worked while he slept
Unconscious cerebraon' had been going on.
The subconscious realm of his mind had been
honeycombed with criminal ambition without his
knowledge The Office of the witches was to trans
form the subconscious into the conscious purpose.
Banquo heard the same dialogue, and the pro-
phecy extended to him as being the father of
line of kings, but his mind was pure 1t affected
him only as bubbles Of the earth. Criminal sug-

PETTEWAY FOR MAYOR

While the Telegram took no sides in the pri-
mares believing the people to be perfectly capable
of choosing between two men both of whom were
conceded to be high class citizens it watched the
Campaign with great deal of interest to see what
qualities the winner would display. 1t is pleased
to note that Mr.. Peteway has shown some of
the traits which enter into the makeup of high
grade city official.
His energy popular strength. ability in discus
sion, equabiy of temper, courage and resource
funess were all broug ht oul strongly by the con-
test. These are valuable qualities If to them he
can add an accurate knowledge of municipal at
fairs, executive ability and that indehnable but IN
dlspensable quality of being able to choose, man
will not only make satisfactory mayor but he
will be good material for the Office OF city manager
which Lakeland must eventually have.
Nobody can expect mayor. at the salary paid
by Lakeland. to give his whole time and devote
his whole attention to city affairs; yet city like
Lakeland needs the undivided attention of a COM
petent executive. Municipal managers arc rare. and
always in demand If MIR. Pctteway shows up as
well as an officer as he does as a candidate,
career of great usefulness is opening up to him.
and he may rest assured that whatever luminosity
may have arisen in the campaign will quickly sub
side when the public sees that he has the purpose
and ability to render progressive and efficient SER
vice.

If normal conditions mean such conditions as

Conditions really nearer normal now, for

An Expose of Sentiment.

Carlyle held the sentimentalist to be
the "barrenest of all mortals;" and
when sentimentalism alone governs the
location of an industry, it, too. is likely
to become the barrenest of businesses,

The day of hurrah campaigns to raise

as obsolete as sentiment. The city.
through its chamber of commerce, as Il

economic basis If it fails to win the
industry it is seeking it fails because
it is not the most advantageous location
for that particular business.
