JAPAN'S ATTITUDE

The chairman of the advisory
board of the Chase National Bank of
New York, \. Barton Hepburn, writes
an argument for Japan in the Jour
nal of the American Bankers Asso-
citation.
The japanese do not want to
friendly, even cordial, terms with
u.s." he declares. But they do want
to live and they are going to live,
and they must expand. They are
rot allowed TO migrate to our country
or Canada, and we froth at the mouth
when we hear that they are getting
a foothold in Mexico. What else
is there for them to do but to eX
pand on the Asiatic continent? We
certainly would, were we similarly
situated, England would, any country
would. And why cannot we let them
follow this natural course without
this continuous nagging? 1t only
eXaSperateS them, and we have no
intention of doing anything about it..
This country would never go to war
over the Shantung question; it would
never go to war to preserve the
Open Door in China. England with
Hong Kong and outlying territory
is as much an offender as Japan
can be; France is similarly situated.
Japan has succeeded to the rights
of Russia and Germany, acquired
in both instances as the fruits of
victory in war. Her foothOld at
Dalny and Port Arthur and the
possession and ownership Of the
South Manchurian Railroad came

AIRpLANE VS. BATTLESHiP

Were we to have war the relative
merits of the airplane and the battle
ship, likewise the merits of all war
like devices, would be determined. but
at what a frightful cost. And how
much better in event of war, would it
be to have the determination already
made and thereby save the lives OF
thousands in experimenting. The
tests now being made should prove of
great value if conducted with fairness
and not subject to the prejudices.
either of those believing the battle
ship obsolete or those claiming that
it is supreme.
The attempt of aviators to sink the
old German battleship Ostriesland off
the Virginia Capes, Wednesday. did
not support the argument of those
who would do away with that arm of
the service. Thirty-three bombs of
230 pounds and 10 of $50 and 600
pounds We're dropped from the planes
and nearly all fell close to the ship,
Is on board. Some damage was done
to the superstructure of the craft, and
had there been crew on board their
lot would not have been a pleasant
one Nevertheless the craft was not
sunk and the first reports were TO the
effect it was not seriously injured.
Moreover had there been crew on
board with ti-aircraft guns the hits
probably would not have been so nu-
merous or well placed. The following
Gay bombs weighing a ton and
drought so miles by airplane sank the
battleship.
These demonstrations nowise prove
the futility Of aircraft in naval
warfare but will scarcely relieve the
necessity OF relying to a large extent
on battleships in naval affairs.

of the Council: We have shown that
such a position is legally untenable.
Or that Mr.. Davies is the only man
in Maine qualified and willing TO &C
cept the position? OF course not.
Or that a MA jority of the Council,
worn out, but not convinced, by the
Governors insistence. will reverse a
deliberate. fully considered, thrice
rendered Judgment in a matter where
their duty and responsibility is equal
~ as great as his? We cannot be-
heve that the Governor expects such
action. or that he would enthusiastic
cally respect and admire the Council
for taking it.
Suppose the Constitution had pro-
vided that the nomination should be
made by the Council with the ad-
vice and consent of the Governor.
Insistence by unanimous Council
would in such case be more reason
, able than in the present instance,
because it would represent the effort
of seven men. to convince one. Yet
after three unsuccessful attempts to
do so, wouldn't the public think it
! about time for the Council to- hunt
up another nominee?
; A jury which, after protracted de-
j liberation, cannot agree, is dismiss
! ed The case can then be tried be
! fore another jury. In this instance
! the jury stands seven to one, and
! cannot agree. While the jury can
not be dismissed, the issue can be
d changed, by the nomination of an
! other candidate.
/ We wish to be entirely fair to
Governor Baxter who, as an individ-
ual, has a genial personality, and
! many likeablc qualities. But we are
dealing here with situation. not
with an individual-witha question
not of persons or or personalities
/ but of the principles of good govern
, ment.
In the Guilford Water Company
case. decided in 1919. the Maine Su-
preme Court 11S Me. 1906 refer
red to tn ePublic Utilities Commits
sion as a body.
With powers of great scope and
amplitude. and also with great re-
sponSibliltics subject to re-
view on questions of law the Public
: Utilities Commission has authority,
quasi judicial power, to hX rates and
charges for al public utility serv-
ices"
The law establishing that impor-
tant tribunal says that it shall con-
sist of three members. The people
have right to that number. While
this regrettable and intolerable game
: of battledore and shuttlecock is go
ing on, the Commission is function
ing as best it can with two members.
Under the statute it is both the
right and the duty of the Governor
to nominate to fill the vacancy. After
three unsuccessful attempts to swing
the other seven jurors to his way of
thinking, what is the Governors
duty?
