A decade of increasing eco
nomic and political rivalry lies
behind the action of the British
foreign office in challenging ia
pans announcement of an Orlen-
tai Monroe Doctrine.
japan announces SIN is over
lord of Eastern Asia; Britain I'M
mediately challenges the japanese
assumption.
Why?
Because Japan for the past
ten years has been encroachln@
in markets which had been pre-
dominantly British.
2. Because Japan definitely has
thrown off the effects OF the
Anglo Japanese alliance which
continued to affect TOkio's for
eicn policy for years after the
alliance was ended at the time OF
the Washington naval conference;
2 Because both Britain and
japan are island nations, lacking
in raw materials, dependent upon
overseas trade for life. Both have
for a decade been trying to corr
troll the export trade of Asia: ia
nan has been winning. Britain Is
irving with every weapon ne caA

onslaught. p;to;,

90 per cent of all Japannese-Amer-
lean trade is reciprocal ana non

Britain feels she deserves Unl+-

tent in a program designed to sta
billie world peace through sucn
instruments as the Kellogg pact.

pans increased tremendously.
Osaka's cotton mills unGerSold
Manchester'S all over the world.
The Japanese even invaded India,
one of Manchester's great mar
kets, and started competition
which resulted in London's sum-
mary cancellation of the Indo-
japanese commercial treaty. That
controversy finally was compro-
missed by Japan being allowed 1
quota of 40O,0OO,O0O yards of
cotton cloth a year for the Indian
market; agreeing to take a spec!-
fed quantity of Indian cotton.
But rivalry in other markets
could not be compromised.
Japan suspected Britain of

using her political power to put
Nippon in a bad light hoping thus
to create prejudices which would
stop people from buying Japanese
goods.
The japanese alleged:
That when the Manchurian in
cident started the British minis
ter in Peiping gave quiet advice
and indirect assistance to the Chi
neSe;
That Britain took a leading
part in forcing adoption by the
assembly of the League of Ma
tions a resolution denouncing ia
pan; forcing Japan's withdrawal
from the league.
That British influence was

partly responsible for the critical
declarations of japanese actions
in Manchuria made by the Amerl-
can state department.
With this background of rival
ry, primarily economic but politi-
cal because of the trade disputes
it was but natural London should
challenge sharply the first step OF
Japan's greatest program-a pro-
gram which would force the world
to accept the thesis that Japan is
the dominant force in Asia with u

nation should give military or
aviation aid to China.

Rector Outlines
Legislative Ideas
Would Cut Car Tag Costs /;
Favors Equal Education

Victor E. Rector, candidate for
the Democratic nomination for
the lower house of the legislature
from Henderson county has form
ulated the following platform:
1.-Reduce the cost of automo-
bile license tags so per cent.
2.-Give all the children of all
the people practical education
that will enable them to make q
living as we'll as to live life.
Let the schools teach manual arts
and skill that will lift men and
women from the level of unskilled
labor to the level Of the skilled.
Thus wages will be increased and
standards of living raised. Latin,
ancient history and higher math-
ematics are worth very little to
the majority of our boys and
girls. Teach them how to do the
things they are going to have to
do later in life.
3.-Change textbooks less fro
quently. Poor people can't afford
to buy a new set of books every
few years.
4.-Tax the property where it
is to educate the children where
thew are. The tax on railroads,
power companies and every other
public utility should be so distrib-
uted that every child in the state
should share alike in the use of it.
5.-The salary of school teach
ers should be placed on a parity
with others employed by the gov
eminent. The teachers are worth
as much to society as are police
men, firemen, or even court OFF,
Gals. 1t takes the teacher longer
and it costs him more to prepare
for his work. Pay him on a parity
with others.
6.-Provide every possible COM
fort for the mentally sick. A hui
man being with his reason de-
throned deserves all the help that
his more fortunate fellows can
give.
THE government should, in
some way, provide medical atten-
ton for those unable to pay. Per
haps, we need a county health
unit to help keep the school chill
dren healthy and to render health
service to all our poor and needy.
8.-How shall we get the
money to support the govern
ment? I would suggest the fol-
lowing:
Limit the amount of money
any one man may own. The
wealth of the nation is in the
hands of a few dozen people. Re-
duce the luxuries of the few and
increase the necessities and COM
forts of the many. This can be
done by taxing large incomes anu
large inheritances and by taxing
that are now tax-free,
Why should one Mr.. Reynolds be
allowed to inherit $25, 100000,
while the poor tobacco farmers
who created those same millions,
are forced to live in poverty?
Why should the mighty Dukes re-
vel in incomes by the millions,
Just because they utilized a nat
ural resource which the God of
nature intended should belong as
much to one citizen as to an
other? These mountains are full
of people who find it hard to pay
for a tin lamp, much less the
present price of electricity.
"a home is a non-interest
bearing piece of property. A home
is an asset to any community. A
home is a mudsill in our civiliza-
ton. Then make our homes as
nearly tax-free as possible.
1O.-Work for social order
that will give every honest toiler
a chance to make living and to
educate his children. Anything
+rodo IN China will suffer. And

"Aside from moral grounds,
for the reason that the profits
of peace time are equal to those
of war time. There is no de-
structiOn of plants due to being
put out OF use after the war is
over, and also there is no profit
to anybody in war at any rate.

view are so great that no COM

would it be a good thing
for America to maintain and

From the time of the forma-
ton Of the United States, our
Government has relied upon pri-
vate manufacture for the major
part of its wartime munitions.
The manufacturing plants, to
be used for munitions, must be
kept alive during peace time.
Therefore, it is best that those
owning such factories should be
kept in constant touch with
munitions manufacture so as to
be prepared with the nucleus

sion during war time.
"The force of this plan was
well demonstrated during the
great war, when the du Pont
company was enabled, without
outside assistance, to develop an
enormous capacity of powder
manufacture, a large part of
which was available for use of

Late in 1890 and until the end

While there still is some money
