these are now entirely without opposi-

carrying out disarmament, but this is
not permitted by her geographical po-
sition and By International relations.
From this point of view, the naval poll

having an important bearing on Japan,
fut it goes without saving that our

ONE HALF OF lAPANS

! TOKYO, Jan. 21.-(By Henry w

Empires revenues was begun some

cial and economic prospects.
Today the program is still in process
Of being carried on and no one thinks
OF seriously combating it, as long as
the great fleet proposed is considered
necessary for the defense Of the coun-
itry, but enthusiasm on the part Of the
people IN general was waned. The
prosperity which fell to the lot Of Ja-
pan during the war, until last March,
have given way to hard times. Japans
great export trade is disappearing and
with that her profits. Taxes are get
lt.ng higher and the profits with which
t. pay them are dwindling. Every
cent to be given the tax gatherer must
be ground out Of business which is oft
en- barely able TO keep from bankrupt
cy. The glamor of the prospective
great fleet Of warships has gone, and
while the Japanese people will con-
tinue.to bear the burden involved, they
are looking upon proposals for disarm-
ament with an interest such as could
not have been imagined few years
ago.
It is very plain that in preparing her
naval armament, Japan is frankly
sharpening a weapon against the
United States. The time has gone,
however where She expected to be
reckoned as a formidable aggressor-- I

great war put an end 10 that dream
