look like a small event.
There is nothing in the Industrial
condition Of a Germany. beaten and
impoverished by a great war to
justify the rate at which she is liv-
ing. AS the initiation increases and
the value OF the mark declines the
spending intensifies. A man throws
a 1,000-mark note about because he
knows that the rise in the cost OF
commodities never catches UP with
an inflated currency. Tho reckless
ness OF the whole proceeding is be-
yond belief.
After the boom the deluge. and IL
had any commercial interest in
Germany 1 should get out before the
storm broke. but I would not take
marks as the price Of getting out.
REAL FANTASTIC FINANCE.
Take a single striking instance of
what this initiation means The Ad-
lon Hotel was mortgaged before the
war for 100000 marks (tfien 49,
100000, which represented the
greater part of the cost Of building
it. Since the mark is worth today
less than a fifteenth of its value in
1914 this mortgage IL worth no
more in 1921 than a million pre-war
marks $3.50. 000). The happy proprie-
tor might expect to pay 1t off easily
in . year out Of the paper currency
passing across the counter Of his
American cocktail bar. He IL in
clover. but multiply this transaction
a thousand times and one may form
some idea Of the financial instabil-
ity Of business In this country.
These booms inevitably breed dis
content as dirty huts breed vermin.
The profiteers. real or supposed,
were an object of dislike and a cause
Of class unrest in Great Britain
after the war. In Germany they
call them even more unpleasant
names.
watched the usual flow Of cars
drive down a Berlin main street,
and the small boys in the gutter
shouted out to the passing line
"Schieberr' which means a profiteer
who traffics illegally in forbidden
goods. and then Pig Of a Jewr'
These two terms they obviously re-
garded as synonymous. Such are
some of the penalties of initiation.
Whether at a future date hard
work and the difference in the ex-
change will enable a sane Germany
so to dominate the worlds market
with it's exports as to save the situa-
ton is a subject I must reserve for
another dispatch.
Enough that the present FOOLS
pa-adise in which this country is liv-
Ing is a domestic one and has moth
ing to do with the export trade at

although as yet unable to enforce
her views.
Is there any ground for hoping
that this world war may be avert
cdr I think there is. though not a
great deal. Japan sees that IL she
strikes she will be alone in the
world. and she will not like the pros
pect. 1t is hardly necessary to say
that Great Britain would give no
countenance to Japan In SUCH an
issue.
A war In which japan sought en-
try into China would instantly rup-
ture the alliance, the principal OBJ
Ject Of which. be 1t remembered, Ia
to preserve 1.-THE independence and
integrity" Of the Chinese Empire.
The American public, however,
expect us go a good deal farther
at Washington, and there comes
the difficulty. They will not listen
to any proposal for a Joint agree
ment between Great Britain, Japan
and the United States, which to
them would be ar ENHANCEMENT"
They do not want US to act as peace
makers. They simply look to us to
back them Internationally while
they warn Japan off. and they are
likely to say in effect: IF you arc
not with us. you are against U.S."
1t does not occur to them that we
have not a shilling to spare for an
other war. and that the British tax
payer would be Mortified at the mere
thought Of a war about the Pacific.
Japan's projects attn at conquest
and will not bear discussion. The
United States is absolutely right
upon this issue. She stands for the
open door. and 30 do we; but II
japan decides to shut the door six
months hence neither Of US can stop
her.
Clearly the next move lies with
japan. Should she defy both the
United States and Great Britain she
will set in motion O. war which will
shake the world. Japan has the
huge temptation Of certain I'm
mediate advantages II she goes to
war. and she may not BE- wise
enough to restrain herself.
The Washington times., 1921-12-04
Crown Held Lands.

The real reason why Japan needs
an outlet for her surplus population
Il not that the island is unable to
support its population, but because
much of the agricultural land is
held by the crown.
In 1910 there were but 35,0o0,000
acres of land held by private own
ership, while 53,O00.000 were held
by the crown. A great deal Of the
privately owned land is held by the
nobility and not available for the
use of the proletariat.
Between 1910 and 1917 but 1.500.-
900 acres were transferred to pri-
waite ownership, and In the year
1919 the Japanese government
agreed to ALLEVIATE 100000 acres
more of the crown lands and, after
reclamation, throw them open to
sale and settlement. It II . signifi-
cant fact that OF . total acreage Of
land in the japanese Empire, say
90, 600, 900 acres pay taxes!
Hence. we have been treated to
tho spectacle of poor little japan
entreating the world for sympathy
because of her lack of space for her
population, while at the same time
she reserves from her own people
: sixty per cent Of her lands.
Opposed to this. the japanese Of

World Domination Is Aim.

As fast as they can leave Hawaii
the japanese are betaking them
selves to continental United States,
where the opportunities are Greater.
1t is worthy Of remark that. after
the gentlemen's agreement to limit
emigration to America, Japan, upon
one pretext after another, delayed
putting 1t into effect for ono year.
and during that year sent $4,000
coolies to our shores. OF this num-
Der 20 900 came to continental United
States and 10000 came to Hawaii.
However, the question Of emixrs.
ton Is not 80 vital to Japan's ma.
iional existence as 1t is to her deem
laid plan for world domination.

No Naval Base at Guam.

Guam we face today the question
Of the balance Of power In the Paci-

their country out Of barbarian with

their unbOundod ambition, conceit,
and vanity, send her TO crushing
defeat.
Despite the well organized propa-
ganda In the japanese press. calcu-
lated to stimulate hostility against
the United States. there are evil
dsnces that the japanese people are
not 'shUle-heartedly behind their
government In its plans.
The tax burden for the support of
the army and navy is so onerous
that much complaint is heard. Near
ly one-half the national revenue Is
now spent on the army and navy.
Bolshevism is spreading and the one
real danger to be feared from Japan
Is that Genro, or elder statesmen"

become alarmed at the spread of
Bolshevistic doctrine and feel the ex-
IRENE national need Of saving them

Congress at Paris. are perfected.
Experts who have given careful
study to the matter state that with

Another way to perform the Jour
ney will be from San Francisco via

The last tour, .totaling 1900
miles, will be made, II IL estimated,
in <0s hours. or seventeen days.
Through tickets will be sold permit
ting stop-overs anywhere en- route.
Travel will be by airplane and d.
rigible-the latter for the long ocean
and desert stretches.
This remarkable result, which Will
seem like the zenith in air progress,
will be attained by co-ordinating all
existing air lines and establishing
others as connecting links.
Two rival companies are said to
be perfecting plans for regular air
ship fights across the Pacific-one
English, which proposes to make
its base at Shanghai and the other
American, with headquarters at
San Francisco.
No less than eight companies are
getting ready 10 start Atlantic air
lines, one by airplane and tho others
by dirigible. OF these, two are Ital-
ian. one is English, three are
French, one is Belgian and one Ger
man. So far as is known no Amer

ed for Atlantic aerial exploitation.

will be established As soon a. condi-

m HE impression unfortunately
prevails that the ciean-cut
proposition for a reduction Of
dreacnaughts and other fighting
naval craft represents the chief de-
sire Of the Harding Administration
in the matter of the sweeping reduc-
ton in the cost Of preparation for
war. Almost daily limitations go
out from Washington that II the ma
val competition is ended there IL not
80 much necessity for reducing land
forces.
Some people think these widely
disseminated limitations are In
spired, and are seized with the fear
that the disarmament conferences
will come to a lame and irnpotent
conclusion because armies will still
remain large and burdensome.
do not 50 regard the attitude OF
Mr.. Harding aud Mr.. Hughes and
the America, commission. II would
be unthinkable that the conference
would reduce naval strength. which
has rarely menaced world peace, and
leave big armies. which have ever
been the instruments Of autocracy
and the provocatives Of war. Mr..
Hughes has rather shown himself to
be the good lawyer he IL reputed to
be by not multiplying issues. and
concentrating first upon the simplest
issue. 1t is easier to reduce the
number Of fighting ships than to
deal with the more menacing army
problem.
Moreover, only a few nations have
big navies, and the agreement OF
three IL easier to secure than at first
to secure the score which still main
tain large armies. President Wilson
often said he had q single track

agreement to reduce the burden and
menace of big armies.
To my way Of thinking the two de-
fects in the plan Of naval reduction.
aside from the debate as to whether
the dreadnaught 10 still the back
bone of naval power. are these:
1. No provision is made for end
ing submarine warfare. II the war
on the sea taught US anything. 1t
was the effectiveness and danger OF
these undersea assassins. They
were never curbed until tho mine
barrage was constructed across the
North sea. Depth charges. detec-
ton devices, experience. skill In
navigation, mining and the employ
ment Of the convoy had all operated
to reduce tho number of sinkings,
but the barrage was the only effec-
tive weapon. Shutting tho hornets
in their nest can alone destroy their
destructive power. Mr.. Balfour was
right when he 10 reported to have de-
clared that the submarines of long
cruising radius should all be sunk
and no more constructed by civilized
nations.
But he did not go far enough. Sub
marine warfare in any aspect Is
stiletto warfare. It II not honor
able fighting. 1t stabs in tho back.
1t strikes from tho dark. 1t should
be outlawed along with poison gas.
The conference will fail In q mate
rial point II It does not agree to sink
every submarine in existence. de-
cree that no more, Of long or short
radius, shall be built. and regard any
nation a pariah which attempts to
use these weapons of the assassin.
