ALLIANCE REPORT
AMUSES JAPANESE
Renewal of British Compact
Abandoned at Geneva,
Officials Declare.
BY j. RUSSELL KENNEDY.

By Radio to The Star and Chicago Daily
News. Copyright, 1927.
TOXIC, August 27.-The foreign Of
flee and government circles generally
are amusedly interested in cables
from Washington detailing the discov-
cry of a near-alliance under which
Japan and Great Britain had renewed
their ancient convention for naval Of
Tense and defense. The discovery is
especially interesting, since it is bruit-
ed from Washington, where the orig
inal Anglo-Japanese alliance was so
brusquely terminated at the behest of
America, according to general belief.
Japanese unequivocally and emphat-
ically pronounce WashingtOn's latest
treasure trove as fools gold which
doesn't even glitter"
When one seeks some foundation
for such a report, it is admitted that
Japan at the outset of the recent
Geneva arms limitations conference
proposed a triple naval entente as
the only course by which failure of
the conference might be averted. 1t
is admitted that the draft of such an
entente was actually written, but
the United States Enthusiastically
declined the entangling alliance.
Admittedly, Japan deeply regretted
the termination Of the Anglo-Japanese
alliance, of which the Island Empire of
the East was extremely proud. But
Japan recognized the American posi-
ton with regard to that alliance as
mitigating against Japan. 1t is most
unlikely, therefore, that Japanese
Statesmen propose renewal of that
exclusive alliance. especially now.
An elder statesman has said, "Such
a proposal from any Japanese states
man would be a blunder worse than
u crime"

Public Opinion In Wartime
BY Gibson Gardner

The relation of public opinion to wars is the
subject of a new book by Norman Angel. Without
public opinion favorable to the war, no war can be
successfully prosecuted, says the author But the
making of public opinion he says is just as much of
a trade the making of war
weapon of modern war more important than
poison gas and deadly he contends is directed
propaganda. Build up "natonasm' and then have
the propaganda ready to be turned on. That is the
way to get good war"
All modern civilized countries have the laws so
fixed that Immediately there being a state of
war; free discussion of the matter is checked and
the press becomes "in the name of patriotism" the
organ of the government for winning the war
Then what happens is described in the words
of the Rev. G. A. Studdert-Kennedy who was a
famous military chaplain during the World War
Says Kennedy:
"On the efficiency of the propaganda depart
ment everything else depends. At moments notice,
every civilized nation must be ready with pro-
ectors to let loose the people clouds of poison
GUS lies. They must be made to weep with a sush
and sentiment that they may not see, to choke with
indignation and to cringe with fear that they may
not think. Strong but subtle rritants to stir them
to hatred must be invented.
Years afterward the truth may come out but
the lies will have served their purpose and people
soon forget They will be Just as ready to believe
that Russians torture women as they to believe
that Germans melted down their dead for gycerine,
If Russia should happen to be the enemy
1T must not be supposed that all this is done
deliberately and out of cynical wickedness If it
were it would be easy to cope with it. The knowl-
edge that it is for the counrys sake obiteraes the
distinction between truth and falsehoed. Therein
lies the horror of nationalist passion; it has the
power of turning good into evil evil into good. All
is grist that comes to its mill. A filthy joke or
splendid poem, it does not matter which, SO long as
they win the war"
