WHIP THE JAPS'

Sydney Maddox, Just Re-
turned from China, Says
Yellow Peril is Real.
WAR UNAVOIDABLE

at doesn't happen that way. It's
well enough for premiers to meet in a
mahogany furnished Office in London,
talk over the international situation,
and suggest an alliance between the
. United States, England, Japan and Chi
ma, but in the markets of Shanghai and
Vladivostok, where such a treaty would
have to be enforced, it wouldn't work
On paper the JapS would say %yes.' On
the dock-in uniform, with guns over
their shoulders-they would say mo;
that steel is detective; or it must
clear through Japanese port; or the
bill of lading is not properly signed"
This was Sidney Maddock's comment
on the Pacific Entente, suggested in
recent international dispatches as a
substitute for the Anglo-Japanese2 al
lance, upon his return to. Kehosha on
Friday evening after an extended tour
of the Orient in the interests Of the
International Steel corporation.
"There is only one Solution for the
far eastern problem" he added; "the
United States must whip Japan to give
China a chance to develop her resour-
ces and make her democracy more than
a myth. The yellow peril is very real
In Japan one doesn't have to prove it;
they admit it. Over and over Japs said
to me net, DO you think there will be
war between the United States and
Japan% but How soon will it come p;
why do you want to fight us?' and
How long do you think it would last ?? 4"
Here Mr.. Maddox expressed the fur
Their opinion that sit would last at
least ten years; for Japan is we'll pre-
pared"
The Shanghai Riots.
By way of showing the spun-glass
tension of the present situation be-
tween America and the Flowery King
dom, the Kenoshan set forth the de-
tails of last Mays Juror in Shanghai.
"The Pacific fleet came into port fly
ing the Stars and Stripes. There were
shore-leaves, many shore-leaves for the
tackles. Some of them liquored up
rather freely and went out for large
evening. They got all and more than
they were looking for when they en-
countered Japanese guards on the
streets of Shanghai. Knives flashed
and bullets flew and when it was all
over, Japs and Yanks alike were carried
away to hospitals"
And this the significant feature of
the whole affair:
"The next morning the bottom fell
out of the markets at Toxic and Osaka;
the Japs we're that fearful that the
day had come and that the long-ex-
pected war with the States had actual
ly begun"
China Favors America.
In case such war should come. Mr..
Maddox was sure that the United
States could depend upon China for
moral support and possibly military
aid.
"The most striking thing l found in
China" he went on, twas a Chinaman's
respect, almost reverence, for the
United States. One of them said to
me exultantly, Some day United States
and Japan have war Japan all fin
ished T.. China free again. This feel
ing has been especially strong since
the power Of the Anfu Club has been
broken and the China-for-the-Chinese
faction has become dominant in Chi
nese politics"
Kenosha Industries in China.
When asked what significance all
of these affairs and predictions might
1 have for Kenosha and Kenoshans, Mr..
Maddox answered.:
eff the power or Japan could be
broken in China. there would be no
limit to the development of the coun-
try through American imports and
American methods. AS it is, it is al
ready taking or western civilization.
