NO TIME FOR AMATEUR sTRATEGIsTs.

The news of the day indicates that there are
breakers ahead in our relations with Japan The
senate has held secret session to debate the mat
ter and British statesmen openly discussing
"eventualities."
According to an Associated Press dispatch re-
ceved Tuesday night the British under-secretary for
foreign affairs in reply to a question, said that
British relations with Japan had so arranged them
selves that Great Britain would not be involved" in
struggle between the United States and Japan.
Nevertheless the United States can be sure OF
only one powerful ay-her own navy. Therefore it
behooves us to listen the advice of best states
men as to the need for larger navy, and to the
counsel of naval experts to how the fleet can
best be strengthened In the past, this nation has
been ready to pay specialists to find out what is
best, and then to disregard their advice.
This is time for amateur statesmen and anna
teur srategiss By prompt decisive and effective ac-
ton the United States avert war. Weakness is
dangerous at a time like this.
