growths. The orient imported them,
and we Americans did our shares
of the shipping.
The whole recent history of Ja-
pan. for that matter, is by way of
being a sharp, ironic commentary
on our civilization.
Until the middle of the 18th CEN
tury, Japan was living like silk
worm in a cocoon. She neither
knew nor cared what was going on
in the outer world. she was the
forbidden kingdom" in sober truth
No one could get in and nobody
could get out; as a result, Japan
was living in the middle ages.
Then the dikes were broken. If
you remember your history. you
may recall that it was the United
States navy which broke them. ia
pan came out of her cocoon and
confronted a world which had got
about six centuries ahead of her.
And it was right there that the
western world, including America,
handed out stone in place OF
loaf of bread.
For the japanese seem to have
looked around and decided that the
more advanced white nations were
relying on a policy of force, pure
and simple. No matter which ma
ton Japan took for an example
America, England, France, Ger
many, Russia-She could not fail
to see that national expansion,
prosperity and greatness were be-
ing sought and won at the point
of the bayonet. And the power of
example is the most forceful of all
arguments.
SO Japan followed suit She mod
ernized her army along western
lines. She built a great navy along
western lines. She adopted policy
of imperialism along western lines.
She saw what kind of game was
being played, called for the same
sort of cards, and set out to get
all she could out of them.
So what is happening in China
today is happening because Japan
learned her lesson from the west
ern world too well. The very air
plane with which Japan is scourg-
ing Chinese noncombatantS is an
American invention; the idea of US
ing it on defenseless cities came
from Europe; and the notion of
taking another nations territory by
force may well have come-in part,
at least-from our own excursion
in to Mexico in the l840's.
Before we unload too much NOR
al indignation on Japan, We really
ought to examine our own record
little more closely.

PAPER IN OMAHA
SOLD BY HEARST
World Herald, Politically In

Bee-NeWS.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
OMAHA, Nebr., September 28-The
Omaha Bee-NeWs announced today
suspension of publication, effective
with the final afternoon edition, and
purchase of the plant and circulation
lists by the Omaha World Herald,
publishing morning, evening and Sum-
day.
The Bee-News is owned by William
Randolph Hearst and the World
Herald by the World Publishing Co.,
of which Henry Doorly is president.
The World Herald, a politically inde-
pendent newspaper, carried an an
nouncement calling attention to the
Bee-NeWs' statement. Ownership Of
the World Herald remains unchanged.
The late Senator Gilbert M. Hitch
cock founded the Omaha World IN
1885 and in 1889 purchased the Omaha
Herald, established in 1865. and pub
hshed the consolidated papers until
his death in 1898. Doorly, son-in-law
of Senator Hitchcock, then became
president of the publishing company.
Edward Rosewater, a telegrapher,
established the Omaha Bee in 1871 as
a Republican newspaper. He died in
1906 and son, Victor, published the
paper until 1920. when Nels Updike,
Omaha grain man, purchased the
property.
Updike bought the afternoon Omaha
Daily News in 1927 and the same year
built new plant for the consolidated
papers, known as the Bee-News. He
sold the property to Hearst on August
l, 1923.
Harvey E. Newbranch will continue
as editor in chief of the World-Herald,
and w. E. Christensen as managing
editor. A number of the Bee-News
business office and editorial employees,
including Col. T. w. McCulloush, edi-
torial writer, will join the WorldHer-
aid staff.
The World-Herald, commenting on
the purchase on page one, said:
Twenty years experience has shown
that the community will not and the
advertisers will not support a second
newspaper, and that its operation en-
tails heavy and continued losses"

wouldn't think. offhand, that a Is or
