Ireland's New Psychology

Assuming that southern Ireland
will ratify despite the doctrinnaire
opposition of De Valera, one Of the
first duties of the citizens of the
Irish Free State will be to develop a
new national psychology.
More perhaps than any other ma
tion in the world South Ireland
has been controlled by historical
retrospect. Its thought has been of
The past-of departed glories, of in
justices it has endured, of martyrs
who have sealed their faith on
the gallows. This has made for pas
sionate loyalty; for crucifixes are
more enduring than crowns, and the
laurel fades while the cypress keeps
its form and color. Adversely hard
ems q people; oppress it and its es-
sence lives on The Jews, like other
races, would long ago have become
indistinguishably mingled had they
not been driven into their ghettos.
So Ireland, brooding by the peat
fire, owes her Immortality largely to
me denial to her of due share in
common inheritance. Coercion de-
.eated its own ends. Ireland was
scrced to think of the past--to count
The beads of her rosary of wrong-to
reiix her resolve never to submit.
The harp that once was heard in
Tara's halls never ceased to sound to
the inner ear, and myth and legend
told and retold the story of what was
once possessed. In Irish song and
literature is ever the note of melan-
holy, of deprivation, of freedom
laaimed.
The new Ireland must now look
the future. Construction rather
nan complaint must of necessity be
IS task. The right-about is complete.
i-very Irishman must now consider
lot what Ireland has been but what
she is to be. Retrospect gives way
10 prospect. The old duty was to
koep nationalism alive; the new is
10 put nationalism to fruitful uses.
Is the present leadership we'll
equipped for the work before it? 1t
will be scarcely claimed that it is.
It's business has been criticism and
agitation. Except Arthur Griffith, it's
members seem to have no program
other than to secure a maximum Of
separation from Britain. 1t has
asecessarily emphasized rancor. And
vet on such q foundation national
prosperity cer, be no more based than
a lasting colony can be planted on
an iceberg floating into warmer
seas. Men grow when new demands
are made OH them, and perhaps the
Sim Fem group has the stuff of con-
structive craftsmanship in it's men,
bership; but it is highly probable
that new leaders must be developed
before Ireland genuinely goes for
ward. 1t will not be easy for any set
Of men, no matter how capable, to
eradicate a deeply rooted national
habit to overstress the past.

Japan S Elbow Room
Population Said to be Less Than $40
to a Square Mile

to a Square Mile
To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: A justification that for years
has been put forward for the aggres-
sion Of Japan upon her neighbors is
excess population, or the necessity for
room to expand This Is based largely
upon juggled figures, as, for example,
in the source quoted in your editorial
under the heading "Crowded Japan"
AS an example of this juggling are
the following words: Leaving Hok
kaido out Of consideration be-
cause of its coldness." But why leave
this great island out of cons liberation?
Its latitude is between about Al degrees
80 minutes and as degrees so min
utes. In other words, it is in the
same latitude as all of New York
north of the Pennsylvania line, and all
Of the New England states except Con-
necticut and Rhode Island.
The climate of Hokkaido Is less Sc
we're than the climate of northern New
York and the northern New England
states and consequently than the en-
tire Dominion of Canada. Why, then,
should this be left out Of account?
And the question is more emphatic
since tho Japanese l,nve found it neces
sary to seize the northern half of Sa-
ghalin Island, all of which lies north
of the fiftieth parallel of latitude; in
other words, nearly ten degrees north
OF the great island which must be left
out of account because of the severity
OF the cold!
What, then, arc the facts respect
ing the population, as taken from
Japanese figures given in "The States
mans Year Book" of 1921? They are
ritory, apart from contincntal--th is,
excluding Corea is 10000 square
miles. The population of this area is
just under 6o,o00,o00. That gives
population to the square mile under
$40. Moreover, it is estimated that
over 40 per cent of the arabic land in
Japan is held either by the crown or is
included in estates of the nobility,
large percentage of which is not per-
mitted to be cultivated
IF our calculation is correct, then,
instead Of the figures quoted in The
Tribune from Kawakami's article in
"The Review" we have $40 as the
density Of population per square mile
bo& I,
half Of the density Of Bclgium's popu-
lation, about one-fourth less than that
Of Holland, considerably less than that
of England Neither Belgium nor Hol-
land nor England has found it neces-
sary to subjugate any of her neighbors
or to introduce reign OF terror such
as Japan has introduced into Corea
in order to relieve its ovcrcrowded ter
ritory
just as misleading is the statement
that the Japanese islands are volcanic,
if by that it is intended to convey the
idea that so little OF them is till
able. Any one who has visited Japan
remembers that the hills are cult
waited to their very peaks with tcrraced
rice fields and gardens. Indeed, one
of the glories Of Japan, of which she
may well boast is the excellence Of the
intensive farming, where such farming
is not excluded by reason of feudal
possession Of the land.

monicka. SO finished my stint, and SO
to see Mistress Amelia, and thence
across the park and got Miss E. Ferber
and we went to c. Gaige's for dinner,
very pleasant, and had some merry
talk; and so home and met my cozen

me, he being lonely. So to bed and
read c. Morley's book of poems, "Chim

his books

and so to the railway station at 9 to meet
my wife; and thence to Mistress Bal

morrow morn, and I sorry they will not
stay here all winter.
New-York tribune., 1921-12-10

The Conference on the Limitation
of Armament wisely purposes scrap
ping sixty-six capital ships and
stopping further building of capital
ships for ten years. 1t is the key to
the worlds immediate peace and hap
piness.
1t matters not that these ships were
in logic already doomed by modern in
ventions to go to the scrap heap in
the near future without any action
whatever by the conference.
Obsolesencc in battleships would
not cure blindness. The Monitor and
the Merrimac, in 1862, proved the use-
lessness Of wooden ships in war; but
the United States continued to build
and use them for thirty-five years
thereafter! Conservatism has more
than nine lives. Admiral Sims demon
strated this in a recent address at the
Naval War College.
1t is probable, therefore, that in the
face of conclusive evidence Of the bat
tleship's inevitable doom all nations
would have continued the dreadnought
race, even though admirals OF fore
sight the world over had declared that
battle fleets cannot remain at sea zig
tagging night and day; that they dare
not cross the ocean, and that two
such fleets may never again meet in
battle!
Stopping a Mad Race
Thus Mr.. Hughes has stopped
futile race and performed a benef
cent service to all nations. But do
they fully realize the truth? Do they
realize that the United States might
have adopted q sinister policy which
would have ultimately hankrupted Eng
land, Japan and other countries by
leading them in a race for $45,000,000
battleships, which we could have bet
ter afforded to build tran they could,
and that we could then have secured
a commercial and military advantage
over all rivals by scrapping these
obsolete weapons to build submarines
and air forces with which to command
the sea?
Instead Of this, Mr.. Hughes's plan
unselfishly helped the world to reduce
taxation, and he relinquished an ad
vantage by leading all nations to
economic in the one naval item which
is the most expensive and at the same
time the least effective in aggressive
war overseas-the battleship, the great
est anomaly in sea warfare of to-day.
Cannot Japan see that dozen ad-
ditional Mutsus would only drain her
treasury and leave her powerless to
injure the United States? Where could
she send her billion-d dollar feet? What
could it do? 1t would simply be a
helpless target for bol4bs and sub
marines-nothirg more. 1t is a kind
ness to ask her to join US in the scrap
ping business.
And so the conference may put an
end to naval rivalry, lift a burden
from all men and lead the world to
thoughts Of peace. The conference
will be the greatest triumph of the
century if it accomplishes these three
things and nothing else.
But there are other anomalies than
battleships in modern war. The whole
science Of war on shore and at sea is
in chaotic or nebulous state in every
department.
Not few admirals OF distinction at
home and abroad know full we'll that,
the ultimate command of the sea hav-
ing passed from the battleship and
the battle cruiser to the submarine
and the airplane, armies must fight on
their own contiuents--they must stay
at home!
And what shall we say Of forts that
