TOXIC, April 16-There will be
no war between the United States
and Japan unless the United States
starts it.
After a careful study of the sit
uatiOn here, covering period of
several weeks, during which | talked
with representative Japanese as well
as with American of many differ
ent types, am convinced the Jap
anese are sincere when they say any
war with America will be a ode
fensive war"
But there is a catch in this state
ment. And here it is: Japan has,
or is formulating her own policy
in the Far East-in China, Siberia
and eIseWhere-and there will be no
trouble between America and Japan
so long as the latter country is not
molested in the execution of this pol
ICY
There is not the slightest danger
of a war over the japanese problem
in California and other Pacific
coast or western states.
The United States will do the just
thing by Japan in this matter and
though there will be an outcry rails
ed by the jingoes over the terms of
the settlement, there will be no trou-
Bile.
While the leading japanese here
express the opinion that the agitation
in the United States is to a certain
extent racial, they admit at the same
time that it is largely economical and
that similar conditions obtain in
Canada, Australia and New Zealand
dependencies of England, her ally
So she could scarcely go to war with
one country for doing what another
country is doing without protest
from Japan.
Asia the battle-ground.
If President Harding and Secre~
tary of State Hughes hew to the line
of absolute justice in dealing with
Tokyo in the matter of immigration,
and they undoubtedly will, remem-
bering japanese susceptibilities as
they would have American suscepti-
bilities remembered, the entire ques-
tion can be settled once and for all
to the satisfaction of everybody save
a''few extremists in both countries.
The real danger does not lie in
California, but in the, Far East. -s
Asia is the new Balkans of the
world, the new breeding-ground of
international strife. And in Asia,
China.
China, iwth. her four hundred mil
lions of people, rich in natural re-
sources almost beyond conception
and scarcely touched, as yet, by eX-
ploiters, is about to become an III,
ternational Klondike.
Just as soon as the business eft
over from the peace conference can
be adjusted, the nations of the world
will begin stalking out their claims
in the celestial republic.
Great Britain, the United States,
Japan and all the sea-faring coun-
tries of the earth, will be on hand,
seeking concessions and looking for
trade. Some will deal justly with
China, some will try to take advan-

By tests made in the Carnegie in
stitution for experimental evolution,
it has been discovered that the off
spring of parents nurtured on whis-
ky, are "sturdier, stronger and nearer
immune to ordinary ills than the pro-
geny of those fed on legal food
stuffs."
They haven't gone so far as to use
humans i'll this experiment. Just
now they are trying it out on mice,
and DR.. T. C. Mcdowell, the expert
menter, is sponsor for the statement
that any one OF the alcoholically
treated mice can lick any prohibition
mouse at the station.
Mcdowell finds that tine progeny
are fewer-but better. But he tent
pers his statement by declaring that
the strain may weaken latter sixty
or seventy generations"
