PROBLEMS
FOR COMING CONFERENCE

though China was also in the war
on Japan's side.
People If other lands are free to
admit that japan Is quite right in
extending her commerce and her
financial influence in the continent
of Asia.
She needs coal iron, copper, zinc,
and the other products Of China and
Siberia; and she ought to have them
This is only just.
But the world thinks that she
should get them as we get iron from
Cuba, rubber from the East Indies.
coffee from Brazil. and oil from
Mexico-by production and trade,
instead of by the governmental
means she is enjoying.
Many See Peril
Many Intelligent people in other
countries believe that japan is plan
ming and scheming to get control,
not only of the great natural re-
sources of China and other nations
of the Far East, but of their peo-
pies also. Note that-their peoples
also.
Such thinkers-mistaken though
they may o'clock forward to a
Japan whose greatness will be
based on conquest They see the
half billion people of the Pacific
Coast Of Asia organized. regimented
militarized, and worked by Japan
for japanese military aggrandize-
ment, and a power built up mightier
than any ever seen in the world,
and a peril to the peace and liberty
of all of us.
Now I do not believe that Japan
could ever do these things. / believe
she would impoverish and destroy
herself If she set out to do it.
1 believe she would be more pros
porous and happy If she went about
her business of building up her
economies on legitimate lines with
a real open door taking her
chances with the rest Of us.
But 1 do not know what imperial
istic plans the small group of men
in control of Japan may have
formed. They may believe that they
can do what Germany failed to do,
Many think they do.

give her a chance to lay her. cards
on the table.

Today is National Fire Prevention
Day.
Most of our fires are rs needless
as they are destructive. They pro-
coed from carelessness which is
nothing short of criminal. The
memories of Chicago's frightful con-
flagration in 1871 and of Boston's in
1872 have not prevented other de-
structive city fires, nor do the warn
ings against forest fires prevent de-
structive experiences there.
Yet it would be a mistake to sup
pose that there is no value in these
warnings. If the placards on the
telegraph poles do not serve to pre-
vent all fires. it does not follow that
they do not make some people more
careful.

SETTLING TRADE DISPUTES

Two Kansas farmers use shotguns against each other,
in a dispute over the location of a fence separating their
farms. A strip of valuable crop-bearing land is involved.
Each wants the profits from that strip. Each wants to retain
The title. It's a trade war.
You see the same thing duplicated when two nations
quarrel and war over a boundary line. In the last analysis,
nearly all wars. except those for independence, are trade
war. Greed for trade and wealth sent Germans on the war
path. They wanted to move their fences.
A movement starts in Paris, to establish a world court
of iustice for the arbitration of international disputes. That
is getting down to fundamentals in the campaign to end
wars. Nearly all problems are economic problems. Trade
follpws the flag-and the military flag follows trade.

Japan in China. What these plans
are is one of the great questions for
the Disarmament Conference.
Japan has stated repeatedly that
her intentions are purely benevo-
lent: all she wants is the same
rights that other nations have in
the huge "Flowely Kingdom"
And when this is generally believ-
ed, and understood by the rest of
the world and acted upon by japan,
one of our Pacific problems, which
Secretary Hughes insists must be
settled before we can consent to dis
armament will be cleared away.
Japan ought to understand what
ether peoples, including Americans,
some of them. see in the future If
she goes on as she has begun.

Japanese to know that intelligent

Piles of other lands and that millions
of intelligent Chinese, really believe

The world has seen Japan grow

Meet the New Authors
Of Another New Play
"Other Lives" Presents Two More Authorial
Identities to the Washington Theater.

The coming of the new play, par
ticularly when II is the initial work
of its authors, prompts curiosity
regarding the personalities and
activities of those authors, who,
possibly, are destined to win fame
and fortune, as so many others have
done, with their first Offering. In
this instance Theresa Helburn and
Edward Goodman are the play
wrights. and "Other Lives" which
opens the National Theater's sea
son tomorrow night, is the play.
Miss Helburn. who is a graduate
of Bryn Mawr College. now is the
executive director of the Theater

her student years she evidenced her
inclination for dramatic work by
producing and managing her class
