WASHINGTON, Oct 14.-The next

William S. Sims, retired, at one time
a storm center Of naval controversies,
told the presidents board today
Sims warned that Americas ma

Of the loss of morale in the air service.
The navy, Sims charged, has no "air

"The secretary Of the navy came
back from speaking tour in the west
and appointed board to make the

"On that same day he announced
that battleships constitute the back
bone of the feet. The general board
met and reported that the hattleship
is the backbone Of the feet That in
vestigation could get nowhere and it
did not"
'All fundamentally new weapons,
without exception, have been resisted
by military authorities down thrY the
ages" Sims added. "Those Of my
own experience include sails on men
of war, armor protection, rified can
non, turret guns, the torpedo, the sub
marine, and most serious of all, the
training of high command provided by
the naval war college.
Navy Officers Unedueated.
"As a result the navy has for many
years been controlled by uneducated
and unframed officers who have been
appointed to the most important Of
fees. The same class Of men now
hold these positions as theedepartment
has just appointed one Of them to
command of the feet.
This is at the root of our present
troubles" Sims continued, and of

U. S. Out For Moneybags.
With regard TO the policy of Amer
lea, it would be a great mistake to
believe that the Americans would re.
nounce the special foreign courts
which secure a privileged position to
the foreign capitalists. The majority
of the American capitalists think just
as the English capitalists and are OF
the opinion that the holy work OF
the capitalists cannot be under the
jurisdiction Of court of Chinese
barbarians." The Americans, how.
ever, are less keen upon the outward
form of foreign prestige in China
and are ready to grant a number OF
concessions regarding small and min
or questions which do not affect the
American money bags, but which, to
some extent, pacify Chinese public
opinion.
The Americans are making a great
fuss over the fact that they are study
ing the question of extra-territoria'
rights, in order to show the Chinese
the prospects of a way out of the
present situation. Introduce proper
laws and then we will gladly meet
your demands for the abolition Of
capitalist privileges in China"
U. S. Holds Few Trumps.
AS a matter of fact, however, the
Americans. are endeavoring to get two
trumps in their hands; the first trump
will consist in allowing the Chinese
customs duties to be raised.
The question is exceedingly impor
tant for the Chinese bourgeoisie anC
for the Chinese government.
For the Chinese bourgeoisie, be
cause the present low and uniform
tariff has permitted the foreign bour
geoisie to over-flood China with iti
goods. The raising of the customs
duties however, will render it pos
sible for the Chinese bourgeoisie t.
build up it's own industry. This
however. is not dangerous for Amer
lea.

By means Of free competition Amer
lea will be able to beat the capitalists
Of other countries. AS regards tn,

lection of the new Chinese customs

solid proIetarian front has been
created in Berlin by joint agree
ment Of the Communist Party and
the socialists for the purpose of
eontestine the bourgeois parties in
the municipal elections to be held
Sunday, October IS.
A swing to the left in the socialist
party in Berlin has forced them into
a united front.
Even tho all the aVowedly bour-
eeois parties unite against the Com
nunists and socialists it is doubt
full if they can defeat them. With
the present alignments remaining
intact unanimous victory is as
sured for the proletarian elements.
A pronounced drift Of former So

also forced action on the part Of

course, the endeaYOrS or emma would
mean a great danger for Japan. But
to go hand in hand with the imperial.
list powers of Europe and America
against China means not only to risk
the danger Of war with great and
awakening people, to lose popularity
thruout all Asia, but to incur the de-
cided danger Of being on the losing
side. ps
America Big Factor.
Among the robbers who are pre-
pairing to plumber China, Japan would
not be the strongest. American CAPT
tai would stake all its cards upon the
uniting Of China, upon the economic
exploitation of the whole of this
enormous country, and the Japanese
policy Of dividing up China could lead
in the future to a confact with Amer
lea.
China is still less suited for the
settlement of Japanese than Korea
and Manchuria, cas- it is very thickly
populated. Japanese emigration is
tending towards the islands of the
Pacific Ocean and not to China.
China Vast Market.
1t is true that Japan needs China
as a market for her manufactures
Should Japan, however, take part in
the fight against China, she will only
render more difficult her situation in
this country, owing to the lack of
any possibility OF a new division of
China. Japan would be very severe
ly hit by a Chinese boycott. On the
other hand, she has everything to
gain by cooperation with the Chinese
bourgeois, as she is best acquainted
with the Chinese market and Chinese
habits, and can in many respects pro-
mote the Industrial organization of
China. sd
Japs Back Policy.
There is no doubt that the Japan
csc government has not yet decided
upon a sensible policy towards China
1t has not yet quite realized that the
time of the twenty-one demands is
already passed. 1t is still under the
influence of those Japanese cliques
which are Immediately interested in
the plundering of China. The further
development will enlighten the Jap
anese bourgeoisie as to the growing
strength of the Chinese revolution
and will compel it to abandon it's pres
ent policy. The Japanese franchise
reform, which Is bringing wide circles
of the commercial bourgeoisie into
contact with state power, win also
contribute TO this end.
At present, Japanese policy is vacil-
lating, but the English will hardly
