Fleet Should Visit Far East;
Pacific Is Not Asiatic Lake
Bu James T. Williams, J.

President Roosevelt's forth
coming cruise aboard the US S.
Indianapolis to Honolulu may be
followed by a cruise Of the
American fleet to Hawaiian
waters next winter.
The fleet will start back to
the Pacific in the late autumn.
A cruise from the Panama
Canal to Honolulu would pro-
vide useful test of it's eff.
cheney. In the year following.
this cruise might well be ex'
tended to Australia and the
Philippine Islands. These two
cruises would serve the useful
purpose Of demonstrating to the
world that the United St~tes
looks upon the Pacific as free
ocean and not an Asiatic lake.
There has been altogether too
much agitation in Japan in re-
cent years regarding the move
mentS Of the American fleet. It
never occurs to the American
people to criticize the move
ments of the Japanese fleet in
the Pacific. They claim the
same right to maneuver their
fleet in the Pacific or the At
lantic at will. without incurring
the hostile criticism of any for.
eign government professedly on
friendly terms with this coun-
try.
No Need to Divide Fleet
The cruise of the fleet to the
Atlantic has served to bring
home to the American people
the primary purpose they had in
building the Panama Canal. The
construction Of that waterway
connecting the two great oceans
enables the American fleet to
maneuver at will in either ocean.
This avertS the necessity Of di-
viding the fleet. And keeping
the fleet together well-nigh
doubles it's effectiveness as the
strong right arm Of our national
defense.
A cruise. of the fleet to the
Far East next year would be
timely because it would afford
an opportunity for strengthen
ing friendly relations between
this country and Australia. It
would also serve to stabilize the
situation in the Philippines dur
ing the critical period soon to
begin in that archipelago.
Under the terms of the So
called Philippine independence
act. the Philippine Islands will
remain under American SOW
ereignty for at least ten years
after they are given complete
autonomy, and maybe for a
much longer period. After a
Philippine government has been
set up under a constitution that
meets the approval of the Presi.
dent Of the United States. this
country will remain responsible
for the protection of the islands

a very different world from
what it is now, the German
cruiser Bremen steamed into
the North River at New York.
In the dead Of night, heavy
crates were carried aboard in an
atmosphere of the utmost Sc
crecy. Once the crates were below
decks, the cruiser turned about
and made for the open sea. In
mid-Atlantic she hauled to and
the crates were thrown over
board. But they wouldn't sink,
and it was extremely neceSs ary
that they should be MADE to
sink, or be otherwise destroyed
to the last vestige.
And so the German cruiser
lowered boats and one by one
the crates were hauled back
from the sea and taken on board
again. Eight officers of the I'm
perial German Navy, stripped
and went down into the stoke
! hold of the cruiser. They ripped
open the. crates and fed their
contents to the flames of the
fire boxes.
Postpones World War
And these contents were
thousands of pages of the Cen
tury Magazine for December,
nineteen hundred and eight,
pages which recorded the most
blazing indiscretion in the
memory of man, the remarks OF
the then German Kaiser, Will
liam the Second Of Hohenzol'
lern, to the American Journalist,
William Bayard Hale.
If that interview had not been
suppressed at the urgent request
of the Imperial German govern"
ment, war might have exploded
over the world much sooner than
it did in nineteen-fourteen, for
the Kaiser said things that
surely would have fired the
the national anger of several
peoples, including the British
and the Japanese.
This interesting fragment Of
history comes alive again, as
I receive a letter from that
distinguished American periodi-
cal, the Atlantic Monthly,
edited by Ellery Sedgwick, a
letter accompanied by an arti-
Gle torn from the pages of the
Atlantic. This article was writ
ten by William Harlan Hale, son
of the man who interviewed
the indiscreet Kaiser on the
Imperial yacht Hohenzollern,
as the yacht swung at anchor
in the harbor of Bergen.
For William Harlan Hale was
possessed of the original notes
his father made, working all
night after his interview with
the Kaiser, and also Of a copy
of the article written from
those careful and voluminous
notes which was suppressed
from the Century Magazine.
The revelation is of peculiar
interest today because OF the
present tense situation exist
ing in the Far East, and be.
cause of Japan's new and
amazing assumption of COM
plete overlooking in the Orient,
to the exclusion of all Western
powers.
Striding up and down the
deck of the Hohenzollern that
night back in nineteen-eight,
the Kaiser took the ASiatic sit
uation, as it then existed, as
his main theme. Everybody
knows" he said to DR.. Hale
what must come to pass be.

yellow race and the white. It

is imbecile folly for us to close
our eyes to the inevitable, to
neglect to prepare to meet the
inevitable. All the world un.
derstands that the gravest crisis
in the destiny of the earth's
population is at hand"
The Kaiser discussed the jap
anese character at great length,
saying, 1--WE know this much
about him, he hates the white
man worse than the white man
hates the devil. The Japanese
are devils, that's the simple
fact. The danger to us is not
Japan, but Japan at the head
of a consolidated Asia. That
would be the worst calamity
that could threaten the world.
The particular duty which the
White Man owes himself at this
moment is to prevent Japan's
swallowing China"
There was much more, includ-
ing a denunciation of the Eng
lish. as traitors to the white
race, and about the duty Of good
Christians to use the sword, and
all of it can be found in Editor
Sedgwick's Atlantic Monthly.
And indiscreet, as the Kaiser
was and wrong-headed as he
was, there is material in that
long-suppressed interview, just
brought to light, which gives
one pause in this very juncture
Of world affairs.
For only recently, Sir John
Simon, British Minister Tor
Foreign Affairs, notified Japan
politely, but firmly, that she
will not be permitted to close
the door to the Far East and
swallow China, and our own
State Department, moving de-
liberately and calmly, invited
the Japanese Ambassador, Mr..
Saito, to step forward and "clar.
ify" the amazing dictum which
sprang from his government.
British Fascists
Sir Oswald Mosley, aristo-
cratic young English radical
and head of the new British
Fascist organization, is tenn
pestuously greeted. in Albert
Hall, London, by 10000 of his
Black Shirt followers. His
movement is no longer a joke,
and he himself has ceased to
be an object Of ridicule. Un-
questionably. the Fascist move
ment in England is gaining
momentum and force, and it
would be no great surprise to
behold, in the not distant
future, Sir Oswald Mosley as a
kind of British Hitler.
However, Mosley and his
Black Shirts diSclaim religious
bias, merely asserting that all
. religionists must put country
first. before their nationality.
In Rome, MusSolini, great
man that he is, proves that
even great men can sometimes,
in a moment of irritation or
temper, do funny things.
Speaking to thousands Of his
Fascists, packed in the beauti-
full Piazza de Venezia, to COM
memorate the 2687th birthday
of Rome, II Duce was annoyed
by a battery of microphoneS
and sound amplifiers which
had been arrayed squarely in
front of his face.
With a sweeping gesture he
brushed them to one side. so
forcefully that the delicate
mechanisms were broken. The
result was that only few
hundred out of the many thou.
sands were able to hear the
address and the real purpose Of
the gathering was lost.

BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON

THERE are four major insti-
Il buttons that shape civilized
life writes Olive Roberts Barton
in one of her excellent columns.
They are government, church,
school and home"
We ali are agreed that the last
named is most important in it's
influence upon the child. 1t is
gratifying also to realize that
now, more than in any other pc
riod, women are giving thought
and study to the home. But do
we give enough concern to the
other institutions? l think not.
UnquestiOnably the most vital
of the other three-sometimes it
appears to be most important of
the f0ur-is government.
Mothers sometimes do not think
enough about that. Yet govern
mentS do truly determine, per-
haps more than any other thing,
the success or failure. the happi-
ness or misery of human lives.
They determine to what extent a
citizen may use what talents he
possesses and whether he shall

be man or slave in his social
order
We pride ourselves because we
train our boys to trust in the
home virtues. But do we not cast
them forth afterWard into an eco
nomic system that gives the lie to
them all? Into a political order
which bases its success upon
those qualities that are called
vices at home? Only confusion
and spiritual turmoil ever can be
the result of such an anti-climaX.
In the home, unSelfshness is a
code for living. Our children are
taught to divide what they have
with others, and then they enter
a world in which he who has
grabbed the most for himself is
the most admired, the most hon
ored citizen, and where acquisi-
tiveness and greed are regarded
as excellent business qualifica-
tons.
