WRONG WORDS BY YARNELL
MIGHT PUT UNITED States
IN TOUGH SPOT IN ORIENT
BY PRESTON GROVER

WASHINGTON, July Tt makes
cold chills run up and down your
spine to think what tremendous
responsibility rests on naval COM
mander in an outlying trouble-sta-
ton like China.
If he backs away when he should
shove up for some diplomatic in
fighting he loses face for the coun-
try. On the other hand, if he closes
in and slugs too hard he may start
a train of events running like a fuse
straight to our barrel of high ex-
plosive national sentiment. Then we
would have war.
That was the sort of thing Adj
miral Yarnell faced out in China
in telling Japan that despite her
warnings, American naval vessels
would go where necessary to protect
Yankee citizens. That would in
clude Swatow, where the japanese
had just ordered us out. Those were
blunt words, and circumstances can
be imagined where they might have
brought an even blunter reply
NAVY LIKES 1T
AS a matter of fact the Navy is
quite proud of Yarnell's punch lines
even though the State Department
may SILVER in a sort of ecstatic hor-
ror at such firm-lipped language.
Hard-nosed language has been
the habit of American naval Off
GERS in the Orient ever since Adj
miral Perry bluffed his way into
Japan. For some reason beyond
the understanding of this CORE
spondent, the u. S. always has ex-
ercised stern fatherly attitude
over China, and did for a time over
Japan, although in recent years it
has not been particularly well
coined there.
But the heavy naval hand hasn't
always been so successful in other
quarters. Doughty Captain Wilkes
tried it on the British during the
Civil War. He stopped British
ship and took off two Confederate
agents, Mason and Slidell, who
were bound for London to whip up
support for the cause.
The Union went crazy with glee
over the brilliant escapade but we
I'll L I = -
Not in long time has Britain al
lowed her ships or passengers to
be treated in such high handed
fashion. The Union apelogized for
the affront under severe pressure
