London Times War Views
Let Aggressor Run Wild Unless 1t Hurts Britain,
Appears to Be Attitude, Writer Saws.

British. After the United Kinsdom
and Canada, Japan Is the best custo-
mer Of the United States. Ouy invest
ments In China are small. And while
potentially the Chinese market offers
. considerable outlet for American
goods, within recent years the United
States has imported from China far
more than it has sold her. And. In
standing for the open door In China,
We were helping to maintain equality
Of opportunity for everybody.
Therefore. in being willing to make
strong representations to Japan in
1881 we ran the risk Of offending one
of our best customers in behalf Of q
principle. And that principle was
clearly stated by Secretary stimson.
1t was, and is, that . peaceful and
orderly world can exist only when
treaties are respected, that peace in
the modern world Is indivisible, and
that wars, anywhere, may spread and
eventually threaten the peace and
prosperity Of the United States. How
sound that principle is-and 1t has
been restated by the present State De-
partment-is now being demonstrated
by the war in Spain and in China.
Feeling for Isolation.
The strongest feeling in the United
States at present is for isolation. But
1t Is safe to say that If this feeling is
modified 1t will only be upon the fore
going principle. The people Of the
United States might be willing to COL
laborate with the rest of the world
for the purpose Of maintaining inter-
national law. They will never be WILL
ing to collaborate, without principle,
for the sake Of maintaining the in
terests Of the British Empire.
And that brings US back to the Lon
don Times and the clique that it rep
resents today. The Times has seen the
Chinese-Japanese conflict spread in
the Yangtze Valley until 1t has become
. major disaster for Britain. Not only
in terms Of trade and investments de-
stroyed, but in terms Of the indis-
pensable qualities Of empire-reputa-
ton and prestige. So now the London
Times Is reaching out after American
idealism.
But in its attitude toward the Eu-
ropean situation the Times is exactly
where it was in 1881 in the Man
churian affair.
Opportunist Policy.
That is to say, 1t is advocating a
purely opportunistic policy and is
showing itself cynically prepared to
close its eyes to any aggrandizements
that do not Immediately affect the en-
pire. 1t supported the visit Of Lord
Halifax to Hitler, and shows itself
willing to give away any colonies to
Germany except the British colonies,
and to close an eye to German raids
and incursions into Austria, Szecho-
slovakia, Poland or Lithuania. In fact,
1t goes further, and actually says that
the method of the coup de main has
not been practiced by Germany in the
last few years wholly without reason.
So We find the Times in 1887 making
exactly the same apology for the use

Times of London Is the nouthpiece
of British opinion and policy-and
that is how the London Times would
like us to regard it-then there is 4
wide difference between the Ameri-
can attitude toward the international
scene and the British attitude. The
London Times is now constantly
stressing the desirability of joint
Anglo-American representations to
Japan. But the United States finds
1t difficult to forget that in 1881, when
our Secretary Of State, Mr.. Stimson,
made overtures to Britain for q joint
demarche to Japan at the time Of the
invasion Of Manchuria, he was very
coldly snubbed-and with the whole
hearted support of the London Times.
Once Made Spirited Defense.
Nor has the United States forgotten
that Sir John Simon made q spirited
defense Of Japan before the League
of Nations. leading the japanese dele
gate, Yosuke Matsuoka-now the all
powerful president Of the South
Manchurian Railway-to say that

In those days the London Times,
Sir John Simon, and the same little
group, who are now Of the Times
inner coterie. were pro-Japanese,
favored the restoration of the Anglo
Japanese alliance, and did not care
If Japan invaded Manchuria, for two
reasons: First, the Japanese, they
contended, would restore order in
Manchuria, and open wider markets
for British goods, with possible pref
erential treatment for Britain, and,
second, in any event. the great Brit
ish interests were centered around
Shanghai and in the rich Yangtze
Valley.
The British demonstrated at that
time that they were interested pri-
marily in the protection of specifically
British interests and not in the main
tenance Of international law and the
sanctity OF treaties. Notice was served
by the greatest naval power in the
world that aggressors were free to act
as they pleased as long as they did
not interfere with British interests.
The American attitude was quite
different. Prom the viewpoint Of trade
