BEWARE OF THE JAPS

find the sky filled with an immense
fleet of Japanese aircraft of every
known make, loaded with high pow
cred explosives and deadly gas bombs,
and the question of japanese occupa-
ton of the western coast will be set
tied in a day, and the whole combined
white people wont be able to stop
them.
They will go on east like a swarm of
magnified grasshoppers, and in two
days will leave Washington, New
York, Chicago, and every other large
city on manufacturing center a mass
of wreckage and death and this land
of the stars and stripes will be at their
mercy.
The Janpanese are a crafty, Gun
ming, unscrupelous, cruel breed OF
brown savages. They are jealous
and revengeful and they magnify and
brood over their grievances and they
imagine they have been wronged by
som of our restrictive laws. They
claim their pride has been hurt and
they feel uply about it.
While the people are fooling away
their time, energy and money fight
ing the bogy of prohibition, which
every fair-minded thinking nan or
woman knows has bred the most aw-
full orgy of crime, graft and hypo-
rracy that this old world ever knew
he little Jap has quit building obso-
lete battle ships that cost millions OF
dollars, and takes years to build, or Is
he making big guns on submarines
. or any Of the other old style wea-
pons Of war, which in this day are
s harmless as hat many bows and
a.rrows. or sling-shots, but is bending
very bit Of energy, and spending ev-
nv dollar on modernized aircraft,
nd has employed the best brains in
hat line from France, England and
Germany 10 help and teach him.
Our people in authority are vast
ing their time squabbling over the
elevation Of the guns on some old OBJ
olete battle ship. What difference
will it make whether those old relics
f guns are perpendicular or flat on

craft hovers over it, dropping eXplos-
ives and deadly gas bombs on it,
~egardle~s Of the position of its guns.
I viii be as helpness as "a chip float
ing on the water. and viii be destroy
a and sent 10 the bottom Just as
EASILY as the chip, and that's what
viii happen.
japan has another grievance in
hich She is, no doubt, right. She
is the only nation on the face Of the
olrth TO whom we have not donated
lrge sums of money. The Japs viii
Ike their share later. In the distri-
luton japan was overlooked and
lighted.
The United States government is
not aggressive. 1t wants peace to pre-
vail over the earth and is the most
ealt!y and powerful of all nations,
, it should demand that wars cease,
nd to enforce that demand, should
taild, equip and maintain the most
,owerful fleets of aircraft of all.
hat is the only way peace can be
maintained. We are the big brother.
World courts, agreements and leagues
- scraps of paper, unless there Is
r1me unknown force behind them TO
lake them binding.
Just so sure as time comes, If this
rltion fails to be prepared, the next
ar will be one of the humiliation
Il our civilization, and it will come
- swift that it will be over before
1yone can think about II, much less
set.
In spite of all the money we have
fonated, and all of the disinterested
,iarity that we have extended, there
SIS not one single nation that is friend
- to us. Even England and France
e Jealous, suspicious and resentful.
Our authorities at Washington seem
2, be absolutely Indifferent. and de
tie their time 10 Grating more divi-
ons, departments, commissions. and
the rate they are going 1t wont be
ng until more than fifty per cent
Of the voters will be on the pay roll
one way or another, and then POI
c will be easy to control.
Maybe they have decided that It's a
eless undertaking. that If il should
- started the whole scheme would
solve itself into Il riot Of loot and
aft, and nothing would result, as
IL happened the las time we tried IL.
