~ all the ridiculous claims put
forth by japan in her settled
purpose to dominate Asia and
the Pacific Ocean the most ridicu-
lous is the issue which she brings
to the disarmament conference and
which will rank second to the vital
question of the open door In China
that is her plea that she must be
permitted room for expansion due to
the overcrowding Of her population
She is less crowded than England
or Holland, or Belgium. or France,
or Germany.
Even II Japan Is overcrowded, that
is no reason why we should turn
over to her fast-prOpOgating emil
grants the fairest valleys in Call
fornia, Oregon and Washington. We
want these valleys for our white
race. This is sufficient reason for
all, save towards and Iunatics, for
retaining them. Japan wants them
butts that any reason why she
should have them?
Let us review the situation as 1t
really is. AS a matter of fact,
Japan is not overcrowded, although
with an increase in her population
of from 500, 900 to 700. 900 annually
there is no doubt that she must
have an outlet for her surplus popu-
lation. She has ample foom at
home and in her possessions on the
mainland of Asia, for since she con-
trols 'Manchuria and Siberia at pres
ent and has swallowed Korea IN Its
entirety, it may be stated that she
HAS possessions on the mainland
Of Asia. But what she wants is not
land for settlement SO much az
riches to develop.
Japan does not raise sufficient
food to sustain her population.
Agriculture has languished there for
much the same reason that 1t has
declined in our own country. There
has been a movement toward the
cities due to Industrial expansion.

set out for Germany without
any predisposition In favor Of
either Of tho theories in England
that Germans are proverty-
stricken people. living on tho edge
Of extreme hardships and unable
to pay the reparatisns, or, on the
contrary. that they are making
such prodigious Industrial strides
forward that they are about to
conquer the commercial world.
Tho true facts seem to have little
relation to either Of these notions,
but I must give my impressions
and opinions as l form them.
SAW CULTIVATED PLAINS.
The first thing which strikes
the traveller is the immense agri-
cultural strength Of the country.
The long, closely cultivated plain
OF North Germany stretches out
mile after mile-and everywhere
It Is being worked to the full.
Round Minden. Of glorious memory.
tho second hay crop. and - good
ono at that. was being gathered in.
and on tho lightest soil the pine
woods are carefully forested.
This is the source OF strength
which enabled Germany to endure
four and a half years OF practical
tlockade-hence all the produce
which is now being pushed in
masses into the German towns.
The Germans say that they are
short of fertilizers for the land. I
could not see no sign of it. One
thing at least Is certain. Germany
is not starving. 1t Is probably
better supplied with foodstuffs OF
its own growth than any country
In Europe.
The German answer, as made to
me the other day, was:
How can this be? We were
not able to supply ourselves
adequately under the blockade, and
we lost the fertile agricultural
area of Posen."
THE STARVING ALLIES.
n answer is that all but the
hoys and the old men were away
from the farms at the war and that
the women alone could not do the
work. Even so, great quantities
OF foodstuffs were exported during
the war to save her starving allies
in the south and east.

Demands Made on China.

In 1915 Japan realized that area.
Britain. bound to her By Q formal
alliance and too busy with the
world war to bother with Asiatic
affairs. would offer no serious or
lection to the exploitation Of China
japan also realized that the Unitod
States. on the brink Of war with
Germany and without any definite
foreign policy applying to tho Pa-
cific. might be counted upon not to
interfere. She had been blutfed b.
fore and could be bluffed again.
The other countries were not worth
considering.
So japan made her famous TWEEN
ty-one demands on China, knowing
that she had the army and navy
to back up those demands, and that
Europe and America were too pre-
occupied with the world war to in
terfere. China was and Is helpless
and cannot resist. This attempted
economic conquest or China was,
essentially. as ruthless and brutal
as was the sack Of Corea-
Japan aspires to dominate north

Ereatest Asistic power. to be su-
