Is that these facts are the results of
a deliberate and madly reasoned

Is no instructed observer in the whole

It was not for nothing that M. Herriot

neither japanese imperialists nor Ger

I would make a cry of warning
there is growing up in America,
especially among the rank and file
of the citizenry, a strong isolationist
sentiment Men and women, pro-
fcundly and justly disillusioned by the
bitter fruits Of our participation in the
World War, damn the foreigner
loundly and without discrimination.
Egged on by small politicians as
ignorant, with less excuse, as them
selves, they ask why the English and,
above all. the French, who, in the
elegant words of the late Calvin
Coolidge, "hired our money" do not
pay it back. And that, while the
ground Is literally afire under the feet
of us all, is their contribution to the
state Of the world.
Neutrality Was Ideal.
Now, there Is an isolationist tradi-
ton in America which no one con-
scious OF the American past can fail
to honor and to love. 1t is the tradt-
ton that found its early and classical
expression in WaShington's Farewell
Address. It was based upon the theory
that here on this Western Continent
a new and better and freer and juster
way Of life would be found which all
men and women from all parts Of the
world, and especially the oppressed
and disinherited, were free to come
and partake of and share. And this
new commonwealth which was truly
to embody those great humanitarian
principles of the French eighteenth
century which, Of all Americans,
Thomas Jefferson most perfectly made
his own and expressed-this common
wealth was not to be dragged from its
sereLe and humane purposes by the
woes and problems and wars of the
Old World.
1t was great ideal. It was the
greatest ideal upon which any modern
policy was founded. 1t made no
difference, let us remember, between
immigrant and native born. According
to it every man who desired to be free
and righteous was an American, and
this traditional idea was not dead In
1914; it vas not dead In 1917. 1t was
represented by paciflsts and non
interventionists, who pleaded that
since any danger to our country was
a trumped-up scare and bogey. the
moral power of America and her power
to help the war-stricken nations would

barbarous land; today it is modern
railway and manufacturing center
with a population estimated to be be-
tween a quarter and half million.
The cry from this city came from
its Jewish community, the only one IN
the Far East, and told the eternal
dolorous tale of humiliation and re-
striction and violence. Who was be-
devilling Jews, even in Manchurla3
Not the Chinese; no, nor the Rus-
SLAMS, whether Whites or Reds. IL
was the Japanese rulers OF the city
who we're prosecuting the Jewish COM
munity.
Now, the Japanese do not dislike
the Jewish people, for the simple rea-
son that they have never come In con-
tact with them. And the Jews OF
Harbin were living in peace ana
friendship with their Chinese and
Russian fellow townsmen. Why, then,
did the japanese rulers Of the city at
tack them? These Jewish traders and
manufacturers and mechanics add to
the wealth of the city and the land:
they obey the laws and pay taxes and
contribute to order and decency. Why,
then, the cry of their distress?
Once More Out for Blood.
The japanese have always intensely
admired and carefully initiated the
Germans. Not those Germans whose
creative spirit is a heritage OF all
mankind, but the inventors Of the
goosestep, the wielders Of the glitter
ing sword, the arrogant Prussians who
openly scorn and defy the opinion and
outrage the sensibilities OF c1v1llzed
people. It was Prussian officers who
trained the modern army Of Japan; 1t
was Prussian jurists who wrote the
codes Of the modern japanese EN-
pire.
Well. for q few brief years there was
q separation between pupils and
teachers. Both practiced prudence,
too. Under the Washington agree
ment Japan turned over Tsingtao to
China and the German Republic
sought to live down the evil heritages
Of the empire. Today, the war lords
and barbaric conquerors Of East and
West are once more out for both
blood and booty. Japan conquers an
empire on the Asian continent ana
leaves the League of Nations. Hitler
proclaims that his people Is people
without space, and must set out to
wrest territories from degenerate
Latin and barbaric Slav. The world
is aghast at the cruelties practiced
by the rulers Of the third Reich. Ger
many follows the example of Japan
in leaving. the League. Naz propa-
gandists are overrunning Japan and
the lands under japanese dominance.
Two ruthless imperialisms are again
as one. And that is why q cry OF
distress came from the Jews Of Har-
bin.
Morale and Tactics Stressed.

The Fleet Submarine.

The feet submarine is the more TO-
mantle class, appealing to our
humanitarian ideas Of warfare. 1t Is
designed to accompany the battle
fleet and engage in a much desired
fleet action. For this purpose,
surface speed, under the Diesel en-
gines, Of 20 knots, at least, becomes
a fundamental characteristic. In
battle the feet submarine would be
used to attack, with its torpedoes,
enemy capital ships. aircraft carriers
and cruisers. The strategy and tactics
OF opposing fleets, counting the big
submarines in their lineup, must
give great importance to q set-up
which would grant these vessels an
opportunity to find themselves in ad-
vsntageous positions to utilize their
torpedoes at short range.
The submarine is yet a weapon of
opportunity. Its torpedo can hope for
success only when that vessel can
arrive undetected at relatively short
ranges from its targets generally
speaking within 1900 yards.

Out Of the tangled armament situa-
ton three developments emerged to-
day:
l. Rear Admiral Clark H. Wood
ward of the Navy's general board
pointed to the failure of the Geneva
Disarmament Conference and warned
Keep our powder dry"
2. Great Britain and the United
States were studying Japan's demand
for revision of the existing 553 naval
ratios
3. Possibility that President Roose-
welt might issue today proclamation
prohibiting the sale in the United
States of munitions destined for
Paraguay and Bolivia, locked in a
terrific struggle in the Gran Chaco.
From Admiral WoodWard's speech,
delivered yesterday in a memorial ad-
dress at the Jewish cemetery. some
observers got the impression it was
another advance sign of Navy in
sistence that the present ratio of sea
armaments should be maintained.
Assails Pretense.
The failure of the Geneva con-
ference. Woodward declared, would
end "the hollow pretense that dis
armament is either safe or possible"
under conditions prevailing in Europe
and elsewhere.

Urging preparedness as the best
peace insurance policy. Admiral
Woodward pointed out that ''we have
always been the principal losers at
conferences"
Therefore, in the circumstances,
there is but one feasible policy for
this country to pursue, and that
is to keep our swords sharp and our
powder dry, and to neglect at no
point the demands of preparedness
and adequate national security"
Secretary Swanson recently re-
peated his view that the present

the United States, Great Britain
and Japan should not be disturbed.

seek revision.

"The so-called brotherhood of ma

way from being international minded
and in consequence world peace is by
no means in sight.
THE general situation is charged
with dynamite and the world, as it
exists. is unripe for the renuLciation
Of arms"
The failure of the Geneva Con-
ference, he added, is due primarily
to fear of individual European ma
tions to disarm or tie their hands

ments, though they ardently seek to

The Federal Trade Commission has

also a lottery within the meaning of
