A Citizens Complaint

A reader who signs himself Citizen" thereby
falling to differentate himself 10000 other
citizens OF Phoenix, writes at length in
criticism Of Mr.. Cuthberts report of his audit of
the accounts of the county highway commission.
"Ctizen" processes to know nothing about the fig
ures contained in the report and nothing about the
affairs of the commission. AS matter Of fact he
has probably seen nothing more than a summary
of the very voluminous schedules contained in the
report
Yet "ctizen" has grievance and a peculiar
of dyspepsia. He objects to IL paragraph OF the
report in which the accountant compliments the
commission and congratulates the taxpayers and the
board of supervisors having secured efficient
a commission. Citizen" wants to know who told
him to do that-to think well of the commission and
speak well OF it. AS taxpayer, and suppose
Citizen is one, he laments the and tear OF
preparation the compliment, as we'll as the inch
of bond paper used for it and the half minute of
the accountants time occupied in the composition
Of it.
We can think of other ground for Citizens"
objection to it. We would not be so uncharitable
and suspicious to suggest that Citizen" does
not like the commission because he does not like it.
Anyhow do not think 1t is material whence
the accountant derived inspiration for the COM
plment If, as "Citizen" states, the accountant was
not hired to make it, may presume that he re-
ceived no compensation for it and that leaves It all
the disinterested, trustworthy and valuable.

IRREPRESSIBLE EXPANSION

population increased rapidly. For
the past five years the increase has
been very small. In 1920 it was only
about one-half Of one per cent. What
does this mean? Simply that the
Japanese population increased as
much as its increased land area JUS
titled, and then automatically ceased
to increase.
AS a matter OF fact, Japan has
much land within her present boun-
daries which Is not used. All of
northern Japan is thinly populated.
Japanese do not like a cold climate
Japan annexed Korea under the
pretext that her irrepressible expan-
sion of population made it necessary.
As a matter of fact, Korea already
produces barely enough food for its
native population.
Japan has gained 9 powerful hold
on Manchuria for the same alleged
reason. There is land to spare in
Manchuria, but the Japanese are
not making much use of it. Since
1905, when Japan first gained her
present position in Manchuria, about
100000 Japanese have gone there. but
only about 10000 remained in 1920
In a word, the Japanese population
has refused to expand irrepressibly
in that direction. The reason is
again that the climate is too cold to
suit the Japanese, and in addition,
the fact that the Chinese and Kore-
ans both are able to 'undercut'' the
Japanese in labor by their lower
standards fliving, in exactly the
same way that the japanese are
able to undercut Americans in Cal
ifornia.
Thus Japan's claim to an ire
pressible expansion is refuted two
ways. In the first place her pspula-
ton is really increasing very little.
In the second place, none of the ter
ritory she has seized, or obtained a
hold on by concession or lease, has
actually been used to any consider
able extent as an outlet for surplus
population. 1t appears then that the
irrepressible expansion doctrine has
been used with regard to these Asia
tic countries as a cloak for Japans
economic imperialism 1. e., her de-
sire to exploit them commercially
and to strengthen her military and
naval position by her control over
them.
Japan's claim for the right for
Japanese to emigrate to America has
also generally been based on the ir-
repressible expansion idea. Since
there is no irrepressible expansion
of japanese population, it falls to the
ground in this case, too. There is no
doubt but that Japanese would come
to this country in large numbers if

BY Frederic j. Haskin

WASHINGTON, d. c., Dec. 2S.-
The doctrine that a prolific people,
living in a crowded country must
have some place to which its sur
plus population can go, is one which
has been put forward repeatedly by
aggressive and growing nations and
which has always attracted a certain
amount of popular sympathy.
This doctrine OF Irrepressible ex-
pansion was put forward by Ger
many before the great war and it
was sympathetically received, espe-
cially in this country. The same
claim to a need for more room is
now put forward constantly by the
Japanese as a reason why they
should be given either more land in
Asia or immigration rights in
That this doctrine is wholly un-
sound seems to be agreed by all
serious students of the matter. In
fact, its unsoundness probably is
generally recognized by those who
put it forward, as we'll. It's value is
simply that it is a plausible sophis-
try which always has its effect with
the ignorant public.
The fact with regard to population
is that it tends to increase as fast
as the food supply allows. When the
food supply no longer permits of
much increase in given country,
the increase automatically stops.
On the other hand in sparsely popu-
lated regions the increase is always
rapid. In other words, any people
will expand indefinitely if given
enough land in a suitable climate,
but it is hard to see why one nation
should have more right to such in
definite expansion than another.
Thus Holland and Belgium have long
been the most thickly settled coun-
tries in Europe and among the most
thickly settled in the world. But
we do not hear from those NATIONS
demand that they be given another
continent or two to populate. They
are not strong enough to make such
a demand. Instead, these peoples
have stayed within their boundaries,
and their populations, having
reached the saturation point, have
ceased to increase.
Japan's Population
In point of fact, the very same
phenomenon has been observed in
Japan. in whose behalf the irrepres-
sible expansion doctrine is now gem
orally put forward. In the past 25
years Japan has expanded her terri
tory about 20 per cent by the annex
alton Of Korea, Formosa and south
ern Saghalin. During the first 20
years of these 20 years the japanese

nate of California suits them, in the

here by reason of their ability to

The Hidden Motive
The irrepressible expansion doc
trine, if examined with regard to any
country, seems always to be a cloak
for economic imperialism for the
desire to exploit some other country
in a commercial way. This, in fact,
is the whole motive of the interna-
tional drama. the fundamental cause
of war.
In all Of the principal countries
the maker or producer Of goods is
paid less than what he produces is
worth. The farmer who raises a
bushel of wheat is not paid as much
for it as that bushel is worth in
trade after it leaves his hands. If
seven operatives in a shoe factory
between them make a pair of shoes
worth 81, they are paid only about
"a. The result is that in all of the
principal manufacturing countries
there is a constant tendency to pile
up surplus Of goods. Some of this
is exchanged with other manufac-
turing countries, but manifestly most
of it cannot be so disposed Of be-
cause each of these countries has
also a surplus. The result is that
the actual surplus of what labor
produces, over what labor can buy
with its wages. must be sold to
some manufacturing country
where the Industrial system does not
exist, or at least is not to highly
developed. Hence the fact that all
nations compete fiercely for markets
in China. South America, and all of
the other "undeveloped" countries.
They must have these markets for
their surplus goods. The nation
that does not get its share of these
markets has a surplus Of goods piled
up on its hands. Then production
stops, there is unemployment, fa-
mine. strikes, social unrest.
Every war is at bottom a struggle
between the principal manufacturing
nations for special rights in these
surplus goods markets, and for the
supplies of raw material they CON-
tain. War will stop automatically
when the common man refuses to
fight for these markets, which are
made necessary largely by his ex-
ploitation, and when he learns. how
to check that exploitation by get
ting for his labor as much as it is
worth in goods produced.

A. The division Of rural engineer

We do not know how much money could be

the budget committee named its figures after an
intelligent investigation covering not only urgent

Yet its figures will probably be set aside in

We only say in favor Of the figures Of the
