I'VE have consistently respected
your rights and interests in your
sphere of influence and never
once challenged the Monroe Doc
trine. 1 want to ask you to re-
spect Japans Monroe Doctrine
of the east.
when I say Monroe Doctrine,
I refer to the doctrine as ex-
pounded by Mr.. Hughes and Mr..
Kellogg, two of your former sec
retarieS of state, who gave us to
understand that the Monroe Doc
trine, in the final analysis, rests
upon the right of self-defense.
Should America recognize and
respect Japan's Monroe Doctrine
of the east, many misgivings. on
our part will disappear.
I trust Americas aim is peace
on the Pacific. But the thesis of
peace forbids Japan even a sport
ing chance in fighting America.
You propose to police the vast
Pacific ocean by yourselves. AT
least that is our impression.
y n
MO powerful and self-respect-
~ ing nation, however, would
ever consent to be bound hama
and foot by others. Just reverse
the case: Would America allow
herself to be so bound by Japan?
I know the answer would be a
definite No
America tries to impose upon
us an inferior naval ratio and
Japan resists it. Herein turks a
danger to peace.
ITO avert this danger, America
must revise her policy and must
more clearly show an attitude of
cooperation with Japan and

smoking and then drinking and
then encouraged into frequenting
roadhouses. Inhibitions are flung
to the winds.
Eventually the girl is sought
after by men much older than
she. AS a result of a drunken
brawl, she has an encounter with
the law, but, because of her youth,
she is only reprimanded.
Later. she realizes, she is about
to become a mother. The man
responsible for her condition de-
ceives her into believing he is al
ready married, but arrangeS for
an illegal operation, which, to-
gether with the shock of discover
ing her own fathers extra mari
tai activities, proves fatal.
The story is simple and not too
we'll told, but it is fairly forceful
in laying the blame for the loose
ness of youth on the doorstep of
the elder generation.
Except for two Objectionable
and wholly unnecessary shots,
quite obviously not of part with
the rest Of the picture, the exhibit
is fairly genteel. The lighting at
times is none too good; the sound,
more often, inaudible.

figure in the tragedy adequately.

had asked Mr.. Matsuoka for
his views on the 1885 naval con-
ference. He did not hesitate to
state them. There is nothing of
the "inscrutable" oriental of f1c'
ton about this twentieth century
Samurai. Educated in America,
his mind works like an Occi-
dentalS.
He is accustomed to speaking
his piece, whether to his own
people, to the staid dignitaries of
the league of nations, or to for
eigners.
Equivocations never settle any,
thing, he says. They only pile up
mischief.
THE 1885 conference" he con-
u tinued earnestly, must sue
coed. We can not afford to let it
fail. If the conference ends in
rupture it will spell disaster for
the world.
But if we wish to insure it's
success it is high time for us to
set about improving the feelings
and sentiments in both japan and
America toward each other.
This is most urgent necessity.
1t is the first and fundamental
condition of success"
Nor should this be difficult, in
Mr.. Matsuoka's opinion. There is
no material cause of conflict be-
tween the two countries.

But, he warned, mere absence
of apparent cause for conflict does
not, in itself, constitute suffi-
Gent guarantee for peace"
America, he argued, is vastly
richer than Japan. So she can
afford to build many ships while
Japan can i'll afford to do so.
Thus, he reasoned, eff America
truly looks for peace, she should
stop building and Japan would do
the same.

1V1 shame that they couldn't somehow contrive to
get Mr. Morgan to ride of their elephants around
the ring, and Jerry Doyle said, Hey, what about
kind of hookup between Morgan and Major
Mite?"
Mr. Braden shook his head to that one because

size he would be running neighborhood notion

Nov I wish I could think of the photographers
name" Mr.. Braden said, because he is the who
really put it over. Schultz? Smith? No, that isn't
it. I can't think of his name, but this photographer
put in to say that his boss the boss of his picture

she all boiled up the idea, told her
she would have to go around to the senate finance
committee the next day to get her pass to go to the

day, about noon Liza showed up at the senate wing
with her sister, nice-ooking normal-sized woman,
and a couple of German friends who live in Wash

There are some questions to be

Much as I regret it, I am now

China will continue to sink deep

This hopeless condition consti-

China is altogether too gigantic
a country for Japan alone to help

Therefore, if America and other
powers interested in China desire
to extend cooperation there, we
shall gladly respond to it"
But, he concluded, significantly,
"My advice is that America should

their game to ALLEVIATE and antag-
