Jap ImgOes Blamed for Prejudice
Against Land in Other Countries

''The Anglo Saxons are a lovable
race of people, but speaking candidly
they are a people of excessive pride,
this being especially the case with
Americans who may be said to have
weakness of being self-centered and
self -willed. The forcing of Japan to
open her doors, the annexation of
Hawaii. the war with Spain, the anti
Japanese campaign in California, the
lynching Of negroes, the audacious
movement in support Of Irish indepen-
dence-all come from self-central-
ization. This trat of the Americans,
in no small measure for the cooling Of
friendship between Japan and Ameri-
ca"
"To do them justice, however,
Americans are unsophisticated, sim
cere and strong-willed and when they
are persuaded TO trust Japan and Eng
lard it will not be 50 very difficult
task for the three powers to work
in concert and maintain the peace of
the world. To coiHe to real good un-
dcrsianding wI.a America, however,
Japan must have right grasp of
Americas China policy"
The United States, the Count be-
lieved, was conquering China by edu-
cation. Twenty years hence, he said,
all the important government posts
in China will be occupied by Chinese
Of American education. Japan should
prepare herself for the peaceful con-
quest of China by America, and to
that end Japan's militarist policy
must be discarded and her entire atti-
tude toward China recast. He add
ed: "Our policy toward China has
been one Of outrageous recklessness.
The Imperial foreign minister. who
caused the p demands to be present
ca to China j. said TO have told "A
foreigner at the time that those were
not the demands Of the ministry, but
of the military cabal. A government
that must bow to the militarists can
never be trusted by the nation"
To him the militarists were the
"canker worm" of Japan. He con-
tinued:
NINETY nine per cent of the Jap
anese people are opposed to aggressi-
vism. They want no more war. The
money Japan spends on her navy Is
the premium she pays for national
insurance. But we can do with a great
deal smaller army than we have at
present Military Germany has gone
to jeaces and military Oussia has col
lapsed. We must not follow in their
footsteps"

AMERICAN COBS
SAVIOURS TO
russ EXILES
Refugees Praise Blujackets
For Their Generosity
In Dalmatia
Try The Associated Press,


RAGUSA, Dalmatia, April 9-The
generosity shown by the Officers and
men Of the American warships in the
Adriatic commanded by Real Admir-
al Andrews will never be forgotten
by more than 10000 Of the Russian
refugees from the Crimea, who, in
fected with typhus, fled from the
Bolshevists and found refuge here
on the Dalmatian coast.
The American sailors tenderness
in keeping the children clothed and
fed and the outpouring of pocket
books and stores on the ships for re-
lief is the chief topic of conversa-
tion in the Russian colony and the
refugees remaining in this district.
"They have saved US. They are
brightest remembrances of our un-
happy existence is the most com
mon sentiment expressed about
here.
The bluejackets of the flagship
Olympia, and the destroyers Alden,
Brooks, Gilmer, Reuben, James and
the Sturtevant have fed 5000 per-
sons daily and have even taken
clothing from their own backs to
give to refugees.
When the refugees landed at Cat
taro Bay and other places and IL was
found that no preparation had been
made for their arrival, the sailors
worked hard to make dwelling plae-
cs for them. They cleaned the old
barracks, and hangers and some
times made up gangs of Russians
who assisted in the general clean
ing up.
Upon an outbreak of typhus later
the sailors brought into use improvis-
ed disinfecting plants, steaming ap-
paratus and bath and eliminated the
dirt and vermin which the Russian
had accumulated in their clothing
through the winter.
With real American generosity,
Admiral Andrews men, when they
saw the destitute children, hungry
and ill-clad mothers, would take
them to the local stores and, from
their own pockets, outfit them from
head to foot.
The Russian women showed the
most grateful appreciation Of the
sailors work, although they were
powerless to repay them. Captain
Wyman of the Olympia received
long note from the Russian women
extolling the sailors, generosity, de-
claring that the American boys had
brought hope to the hopeless wom-
en- and children who had been driv-
en- out of their country.
Colonel w. b. Jackson, the head
Of the American Red Cross mission
here told The Associated Press that
the United States navy did fine work
in nipping the epidemic Of typhus in
the bud.
