Exaggerating Differences.

A USTRALIAS attitude toward Japan is pract-
~ cally identical with that Of the United States.
So is that of New Zealand and Of Canada. These
with South Africa from the dominion governments
of the empire, or of its great commonwealths. But
Australia is openly disturbed at the seemingly in
creasing friction between this country and Japan,
fearing that it may involve the empire.
1t understands the intent OF this country to
have the greatest navy in the world" aimed
straight at Japan. Premier Hughes-who spells
his name the same as does our Secretary of State
frankly says So He frankly counses that while
the British Japanese treaty is essential it can and
should be framed to bee acceptable to the
United States But more significant to Americans
is his statement of his judgment that "the
alleged of disputes and of difficulties between
Japan and America, form differences which appear
to be trivial compared to the tremendous evil which
war would inhict both nations"
This comes from the head OF the government of
country which openly totally and finally excludes
all Japanese from settlement there. Australia and
New Zealand have gone further in this than has
our government without sacrificing friendly rela-
tions. Nor, Premier Hughes says, will Australia
for Japan make an enemy of the United States!
nor can Britain do So" This is the attitude of all
the British dominions, without question.
Is not, indeed, the United States exaggerating
its differences with Japan? Is not this people, if
not making mountain OF molehill, at least mag
nifying it? Is the best way to agree with your
neighbor quickly, to first go out and cut club?
Why not first try to settle the differences, all of
them, not only that his chickens disregardng
the fence line, but the easement in common high
ways with the of facilities along the way, and
so change the spirit of suspicion to one of under
standing?
Premier Hughes knows the Japanese; he has
had to deal with them; it was he who refused them
the clause of equality in the treaty and he finds
that frankness, straight talking, II will" and 81 will

Prussian Propaganda.

HNEs Of the most important results of the war
~ is the disclosure Of Prussian character and
its methods of expression Whether or not the dis
tinctive character of the Prussians has come from
an early admixture of Slavic blood in the time of
the Teutonic knights, is not known. But it is In
sharp contrast of the South and West Germans.
No other people have methodcaly used the
agency of propaganda to the seeds of dssen-
sion to promote their selfish interests and to reach
rivals to their own benefit Bismark developed this
to perfection. He used newspaper publicity,
regardless of fact, create suspicion where it was
suspicion he wanted, insinuate evil motives and
to misrepresent situation he wished falsely pre-
sented. He made it an art
All during the this system of propa-
ganda was distinct German government agency
1t was used by other governments, but not with
Prussian perfection, nor Prussian stupidity. 1t
demonstrated that it is true as said that the Ger
mans know more of psychology and less of human
nature than any other people on earth 1t was this
inability to realize the human nature, the mental
viewpoint and the moral balance of other peoples
which made German propaganda such boomerang

transparent vindictveness.
1t comes now in the form of books, of which
nearly everyone of the leading figures in the old
Junker regime, has written at least one These

OF Germany The favorite theme for some time has
been Japan and the United States with Great Brit

nifty that she may be rid Of them as commercial
and financial rivals.
They would inject German hate into American
blood. They would use this country as a cat's-paw
to save German chestnuts. They boldly assert that
Great Britain started the war to ruin Germany.
They do not explain why since the war. the great
est problem of France has been to gain Great Brit
aims consent to enforce reparations against Ger
many.
They declare. as badly, that the British treaty
with Japan Is aimed at fomenting war from which
British supremacy may be conclusively re-estab-
lished. They fail to realize that il this is so, the
American game is peaceful settlement of differ

Britain for mutual benefit.
What the Prussian mind cannot understand is
that business rivalry does not mean enniy and that
commercial rivalry does not lead inevitably to
They forget that American business men have
learned that such rivalry may be wholesome in ex-

During the business hours of this
day sinister stars prevail. according
to astrology. Mars. Uranus, Jupiter
and the Sun are all in malehc as

This is a day in which nothing

judgment.
Suspicious are easily aroused and
quarrels readily precipitated while
Mars is adverse, and for this reason
it is well to avoid all arguments or
controversies.
Uranus continues in a place said to

There will be an increase Of crimes

Misrepresentation while this aspect
prevails, the seers announce.
Owing to the menscing conngura-

Floods in the Middle West may
cause some losses to crops and may
ruin certain roads.
Al the signs seem to presage,many
acute problems Tor the nation, and
through these there will be a quick

prophesied.
Again race questions are to be

The Cut in Steel.

A T LAST the United States Steel Corporation
~ has made cut in the price of steel. This
is what industry has been waiting for 1t is what
the building industry has waited for 1t leaves only
rents at the peak and will be the effective in
lowering them. For some reason best known to its
management, United States Steel refused to cut
while all other prices have been tumbling around it.
Judge Gary not long ago announced that the
poration would reduce neither the price Of steel
nor the wages of its men, Later it announced
that its bonus system had been extended to all its
employees. Heretofore, this was restricted to only
the high salared Of its office and managerial forces
The present reduction of prices ranges from
$I.5o to SIS per ton staple list, aver
age, 81 ton. Whether this is to be followed by
wage reductions is not known, but probably not for
some time. That is more apt to come after further
price reduction. The relations of the corporation
and labor are not something with which to be
hasty in readjustment, and the loss, whatever it
may be, from the present lower prices can readily
be absorbed
But the present action is most important 1t
will hasten industrial readjustment. 1t will give
new impulse to building. 1t will have a marked
psychological effect, and it will point the way az
steel always does, to a resumption of activities.

URGES EARLY CURE FOR

A striking analogy between the
number OF physically defective
children as shown by the survey
OF public school pupils made here
in 1905 and the number Of reflections
by the physical examinations for
the draft during the war was drawn
by DR.. George NJ. Kober in his Ad-
dress as retiring president Of ths
AnthropologicSl Society at The
meeting held Jointly with the Med
ical Society.
The school survey showed thaf
35-5 per cent of the children were
physically defective, and the rejec-
ton from military service totsied
3t.s per cent. for the whole coun-
try. The percentage Of draft rejec-
tions in the District was 27s. how

To the Editor. The Washington Herald:
These are exciting times indeed"
so say the employees of the Audi
tor for the Navy Department, cor
ner OF Seventeenth and r streets.
One may pass along the lengthy
dingy corridors of the old struc-
ture and occasionally see small
groups of employees in whispered
conversation; here, perhaps, are a
few colored people. whispering
amongst themselves, their faces be-
traying the fact that some great
Joy is on their horizon. On an
other floor one might come across
party of white employees. their
faces not registering the glee that
their darker-hued co-workers SO
plainly evidenced.
Since the Republicans resumed
operations. the negro is expecting
to come into power at this bureau
where are employed less than thirty
colored clerks-this is about 10 per
cent of the ONCE force. The pres
ent auditor for the navy is Edward
l. Luckow. still serving until Pres
ident Harding shall have made an
appointment Twice, before have
coIored men served in this capacity,
the last time was during the Roose-
welt regime.
Naturally the white people who
daily toll over the psyrolls and ac-
counts of the navy do not look upon
this impending change with favor;
they feel sure. however, that a col
ored man will be given the plum.
They say II Is the one appointment
that the colored race expects TO be
favored with when the Republicans
are in power, so what can you do
The older employees in point OF
service there-and there are but a
very few-seemed disposed to sit
back serenely and let the rest OF
the world go BY" but remarks ot
the younger ones are not indica-
tive OF satisfaction. There has
been some thought Of raising a
protest. but no one seems TO want
to sacrifice his position by start
ing anything that might not be
successfully terminated This is an
unfortunate state-that a govern
msht clerk cannot speak in his be-
half without getting into mess.
It seems that a bureau employing
about 30 per cent Of white clerks
to carry forward its work would
have at its head a man Of the same
color.
