IS JAPAN MISJUDGlNG
BRITISH CHARACTER?

If japanese arrogance sets off an i'll
ternational conflagration in the Orient,
il will be because japanese diplomats IN
their Oriental way have failed properly
To evaluate the British character.
It is not conceivable that Japan wants
real trouble with Great Britain. The
Chinese invasion has cost Japan too
much, and has proved too we'll that Japa-
nese military might is not what the
Japanese fondly believed it 10 be. 1t
is highly probable that the Japanese,
in their blockade of Tientsin apd in other
lesser but similar veXatious incidents, are
only trying to win diplomatic adVan-
tage stopping short of armed conflict.
Thus far Britain, mighty but supne,
has done nothing to retaliate fer Japa-
nese aggressiveness. Therein lies the
danger that misunderstanding of char
acter will start war The Japanese
themselves are quick to resent an insult.
They cannot understand the stolid char
acter of British wrath. They cannot
realize that the Britisher "loses face
only when dead
In this business of closing face, per-
haps lies the gulf of difference between
Briton and japanese. The japanese,
insulted. loses face unless he immediate
" wipes out the insult The Britisher,
insulted, may not realize that he has
been insulted for several weeks. After
he does realize it. several more weeks
may be lost before his anger reaches
the peak that demands action.
Japan, in a series of incidents culmi-
mating in the Tientsin blockade, has
tweaked the tail of the British lion
with increasing regularity. Each tweak
has been a bit harder than the one be-
fore. Studying the characters of the two
races an observer cannot help believing
that the japanese advance to new, more
firm territory each time merely because
the last incident was not punished, and
because that fact gives them reason to
believe-in their own character role
that the next will not be punished.
For the sake of the peace of the world.
it is to be hoped that japanese diplomats
and militarists realize, before it is too
late, the difference between themselves
and the British. 1t is to be hoped they
recognize the British trait which accepts
affront after affront until finally some
trivial little thing sets off an explosion

MAIL ADORNMENT
IN GREAT BRITAIN
lChristian Seience MonItorl

1t is reported that Britain's Postmas-
ter-general recently rejected proposal
that he should issue decorated envelopes
for "epistolary greetings. This Is fath-
er unexpected in view OF the tact that
the greetings kilograms sold by the post
office have been such success: and
one cannot help feeling that there IS
something to be said for brighter en-
yelopes, and even for employing them
to cover general correspondence. In
place of the plain white, or sedately
tinted. envelopes at present in vogue
brilliantly adorned mail. displayed to
advantage on a snowy cloth, would add
raiety and charm to the breakfast table
Whatever the contents or the letters,
they would provide moment Of eXhllar-
alton for the addressee; and a graceful
arabesque outside an envelope might
help to soothe feelings reused by an
illegible scrawl within.
There have, of course. been primitive
and isolated attempts to escape the mon
otony imposed by the address, and the
stamp in the right, upper corner. P0r-
traits, and rough maps have been sub
stituted for writing; and there is the
famous case of the pioneer who stuck
the stamp in the center of the envelope,
and wrote exultantly beneath i:
ey-diddle-diddle!
The stamps in the middle!
Unfortunately this involves breach OF
the regulations, and the Post Office on
forwarding the letter, added al envoi:
y-diddle-dey!
There's twopence to pay.
Such efforts, naturally, do not meet
with the approval of the authorities;
but possibly envelope manufacturers
may yet take hint from this applca-
ton of the PING, and experiment with
a greater variety of ornament and de-
sign.

PROPOSED TRADE DEAL
WITH GERMANY
Register)

The prospect of some sort of Ger
man deal for American lard, of which
there is a surplus, keeps coming up.
Probably some means will be found to
carry this through eventually, for de-
spite nationalistic feeling, despite tar
ifs, despite exchange difficulties, it is
a natural" Germany desperately needs
lard and all kinds of fats. Large stocks
of lard are hanging over the American
market, depressing the price to the detri-
ment of the farmer and packer. Even
tually some way will be found to do
something about it.
The whole essence of any such deal
with Germany is matter of smart trad
ing Certainly it is silly to sit here hold
ing greediy to great surpluses of lard,
wheat and cotton which we do not have
wit enough to distribute 10 our own
people, and yet to veto on sentimental
ground any plan to send it TO countries
which badly need it.
The great thing is what do we take in
exchange? Certainly there is no point
in exporting surplus lard to help the
farmers and packers if goods are taken
in exchange which means less work for
American artisans. If we can arrange
to swap this lard for raw materials or
goods either not produced in the United
States, or not produced in sufficient
quantity, then it would seem good place
to let the natural forces OF trade func-
ton

COOPERATION BEST WAY
TO PUBLICIzE VALLEY

If the county board of supervisors
should see fit to create an honest-to-
goodness organization to publicize I'M
perial Valley, by broadening the powers
and providing adequate financing for
the county board of trade, the action
would provide an opportunity for un-
selfish cooperation among all chambers
of commerce and other civic groups III
the valley.
Today the efforts of the chambers of
commerce and similar organizations in
the county, while successful as far as
they go, are more or less like a scatter
gun aimed rather carelessly in one gen.
eral direction. Until now, with the de-
STABILITY of concerted advertising cam
paign questionable because of debt and
other considerations, the scattergun has
been acceptable.
Now we need high powered rifle,
aimed at particular fields, to bag parti-
cular enterprises for the valley.
Only by pooling of resources and fin
ances, and by utmost cooperation all
down the line, can we achieve the single
ness of purpose which should be ours
in bringing desirable new enterprises to
the valley 1t is time to stop pulling
each his own little load. and to Join to-
geher to pull one common load faster
and farther.

These things have all happened
before. They happened in Belgium
when the German troops occupied

Belgian cities. The Belgian popula-
ton was ruthlessly repressed by the
military. But they remained Bel
gian.

To cope with such situations, to
polish the dirty side of the coin
of conquest-that is a task for
which Germany asked when it
seized Czechoslovakia Leaving the
moral side out of it for the mo-
ment, was it worth it?
Imperial Valley press., 1939-06-21
Slow But Sure

conquest is. ON its face, dram
attic and impressive spectacle. 1t
naturally tends TO- inspire warm
glow in the people at home who
have sent their SONS to bring 1t
about. even in those whose sons
did not come back.
But conquest is a coin with two
sides. The bright face, the one
polished by the clash of arms, is
readily visible. But the other face
is often dark and scaly. It is the
business of consolidating the
gains of making the conquest
actually worth the cost.
Italy knows about that. Nobody
can draw an accurate balance
sheet on the Ethiopian adventure,
but it is fairly easy guess that
outgo far exceeds income up TO TINS
time. There is the good Italian
blood spilled in the desert sands,
there is the cost of the expedition
ary force. and the continuing cost
of supporting a big army. There are
the development costs Which must
precede any great return in raw
materials.
Germany is beginning to find out
about the other side of the com,
too. In Kladno, near Prague, a
German policeman is shot. Just
what were the circumstances is
not yet clear, but it would appear
that he got into one of those jams
which are inevitable when a for
eign armed force is placed over
native civilian populations.
