YAP AND SHANTUNG.
Japanese foreign policy seems to
have degenerated In a sort Of
comedy Of errors" according to
the views Of many leading Ameri.
cans. 1t seems to have become a
mass of anomalies and contradic-
tons. supported by a small army Of
highly educated apologists.
We have a number of japanese
apologists in the United States
who launch a series of reasons
why" every time Japan makes a
political move in the Far East.
There is one highly educated
Japanese in New York City. who
Is the chief apologist Of them all,
He is a propagandist of no mean
order. He is chiefly concerned
with New York's intellectuals and
with the money. interests. He
well understands the value Of
Americas greatest metropolis as
a publicity distribution center.
The controversy with Japan over
the Island Of zap has gone . long
way toward convincing Americans
Of Japan's real intentions with re.
gard to the Pacific.
Its value to us Is infinitely great
er than Japan's interest In It.
America will not be satisfied until
the zap question Is disposed Of in
such manner rs not to consti-
tute q standing menace to her in.
terests in the Pacific.
No matter what the Washington
Government or the other Powers
agree to do with regard to Shan
tung, the American man In the
street will never be convinced that
Shantung belongs to any other
Power than China He not only
wants Shantung returned uncondi-
tionally to China but maintains
the Japanese have no more bust.
ness there than has the Chinese
government in Tokyo.

GERMANS CAUTIOUS
AS POWERS HINT AT
LEAGUE INVITATION
Berlin EDITOR Sees Pitfalls i'm Organization
Created Under Versailles Treaty that Would
Mean Disaster to Rhine-Would ENTER New
Association that Had American Sanction.

II Is stipulated that at any time thu
League Of Nations may reconsider
any decisions affecting administra-
tive acts. In the same order. IL NAV
be mentioned that in a note adj
dressed to Germany by the Allied
POWERS these have the right to make
changes in the treaty Of peace and
TO insert terms in accordance with
new conditions. Besides these are
Articles 2ss and 376, in which it In
stipulated that in case Of differences
OF Interpretation by the signatories
as to how to apply such-and-such
clause. 1t Is the League of Nations
which will settle the controversy.
All this constitutes facts of the
highest importance. Yet Germany.
judging by her past experience with
the Versailles treaty, cannot place
too much confidence.
Assuming that Germany be effec-
lively asked to Join the league in
the near future, there are those who.
on account Of the above facts. would
declare that 1t can be hardly CT.
pected to turn down coldly such an
invitation.
LIVE UP TO TREATY.
The treaty Of peace has been
signed and must be lived up to. 4,
the opinion Of a majority of the
people. But the execution of II In
left to the decision Of the League of
Nations. So that it could be said
that 1t is not q matter of indiffer-
ence to Germany. whether the DOS.
sibility is offered her or not. to
De represented by some neutral
agency to safeguard her rights.
conceding that minor rights have
been left to the vanquished It is up
10 the latter to make those rights
respected by the victors. So IL il
clear that under present circum.
stances the joining of the. League of
Nations by Germany could only be
makeshift. without prejudice of
future circumstances. Can any ons
think that such provitory course
Is worth all that trouble?
For every one in Germany is look
ing toward America, Eek America
Lux" trom America comes the light
is the slogan. President Harding's
utterance about a new society Of
nations. a modification Of the pres
ent league, has made a strong echo in
Germany although in the mean.
time there still prevails a certain
skepticism. The disappointment Of
the peace endeavors Of President
Wilson was too great to express now
an exaggerated optimism. The Ger.
man republic. owing to the workings
Of the League Of Nations. cannot dis
play any activity in that question.
She was handcuffed at Versailles,
and even those who already before
and during the war advocated .
democratic form Of government
were muzzled and tied up.
II today the German people were
to vote by a referendum on the ques-
ton to join the League Of Nations
as established at Versailles. The
result would be an almost unani-
nous mo" But were the question
put to the German people for the
establishment OF an Association OF
Nations, based on peace, justice and
equality in the shaping Of the new
state Of things. then tire would b
q tremendous majority to say Yes"

Editor Of the Berlin Tageblatt.
Written for Universal Service.

BERLIN. Oct. 8.
NHALL Germany Join the League
- Of Nations?
This question has suddenly
become again one Of Importance.
Reasons for 1t have been assigned
partly to the negative attitude Of
President Harding toward the Or
ganization that has been built at
Versailles. and also on account of a
rumored story that request to that
effect has been made Of Germany
by the League Of Nations, to join
in the League. Here then are the
two factors that will decide the is
sue:
II we look at 1t clearly, It means
that the German viewpoint must
decide on the principle Of an asso-
citation Of nations or on a league
such as was constituted at Yer
sailles by the allied powers. The
entente's League Of Nations cannot
awaken among the German people
any desire to Join In view Of inef-
ficiency II has shown so far.
PERMITTED VIOLATION.
There IL not the least dissention
on that score in Germany.
The League of Nations has per-
mitted a violation of the rights of
the German people in the settlement
OF the Belgo- German border at Eu-
pen and Malmedy, which fact can be
proved by unquestionable German
documents. Wilson's fourteen points
have been shamefully misused in
this instance. The German popu-
lation have been systematically pre-
vented by the Belgian authorities
to affirm their free allegiance to
Germany. and the League of Ma
tons, Notwithstanding legitimate
and well.supported protests, has
sanctioned their violations Of right.
That's the way Germany looks at 1t.
Now then, the real and earnest
question Is. can Germany remain
disinterested in the League Of Ma
tons? ...
The German government is very
preoccupied about this.
It must be borne in mind that
above all else the League Of Ma
lions was granted such powers by
the treaty Of Versailles as to mutt
late the entire future Of Germany.
The decision to melt Germany and
Austria into one nation lies in the
hands Of the League of Nations.
Membership in the League Of Ma
tons would enable Germany to COM
pete in the open market with the
other nations in coleman cvsinnerce,
Of course in a lesser degree than
before. And as concerns the Basin
Of the Saar and the free city Of
Danzig, the danger is that in case
of the collapse of the League Of Ma
tons, France will appoint Poland
as her delegate, who will see to It
that German interests remain
buried.
POWERS RULE LEAGUE.
Besides this present anxiety, there
are other prescriptions Of more
import. In Article 10 Of the Peace
Treaty It is stipulated that from
time to time general assembly Of
the League Of Nations be held with
the object Of examining obligations
which have become obsolete and
whose maintenance might endanger
the peace Of the world.
Not only that, but In Article 372

'We are importing at the rate of About ss0e, ,00o. 600 worth of foreign goods per month into the United States" declares Congressman J. W Fordney, Chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee.

 ''Under free trade we must come to a common level somewhere, if we com pete with all the countries of the world Today German labor Is getting from 60 to 65 cents per day in gold for ten or twelve hours. Japanese and Chinese labor today is from 12 to IS cents per day in gold for twelve hours work.

 Fortunately, however, there can never again be a real milk strike in which the people are absolutely cut off from this food. Science has found a way for preserving all the ex- deE1ent qualities of milk by removing the water and in condensed and evap- orated milk, a product has been pro- duced which will keep indefinitely.
 Since it has also been found that milk is the cheapest of all foods, these condensed and evaporated var ieties are being found by housewives to be the cheapest form of this cheapest of foods. A single can of condensed milk when diluted to the proper proportion, will make three quarts of fluid milk, and a can of evaporated milk will make two quarts.
