SELF-PROTECTION

Denunciation of the 1911 Treaty of Commerce and Navigation with Japan is a measure of sell protection by the United States Most Americans are likely to echo the Foreign Relations Committee members approval of Secretary Hulls recent step For the dangerous implications to this country of Japans actions in Asia have become increasingly evident in recent months
 Under terms of the treaty negotiated 28 years ago six months must elapse before the denunciation becomes effective. This prevents any preciptate action against Japan which might later be regretted It also gives the Japanese six months in which to think their policy in China in violation Of the Nine-Power Treaty and their hgh-handed method of dealing with foreign nations in violation of the Open Door" policy
 Relations between Washington and Tokyo are now wide open. It might be said in simplification that this government at the moment has no policy toward Japan What it will be in the next six months will depend for the most part what Japan does.
 While Secretary Hulls note dealt only with the treaty not mentioning the undecared in China, it is perfectly that it implies political well commercial action. The Japanese, particularly the military party which has had a dominating hand in Japanese diplomacy, will not miss the inference.
 One object of the denunciaton is to clear the ground of all legal barriers to embargo on the export of material to Japan. This is the culmna- tion of growing public reaction against the United
 
 Japan depended the United States for 57 percent of her war supplies and even greater percentage has gone to her since the first of the present year Such activity out Of harmony with Americas declared policy of peace and of friendship for China.
 This state of affairs aggravated by Japan's whitening restrictions Occidental business in the occupied of China. Fine words and apologies could not gloss the fact that American business being systematically driven out.
 The event which, more than any other, spurred the State Department to action undoubtedly the Tentsin incident involving Britain. Tied up in Europe where Japans allies, Germany and Italy, preparing another crisis, Britain forced to bow before the Japanese demand that her whole position in the Orient be discussed and revised Late last week the British partially conceded Japans rights in China The ubation which followed took the form of further restriction of British rights particularly the arbitrary closing of the Pearl River at Canton thus cutting off the British Crown colony at Hong Kong.
 It evident from the beginning that Japan singled out Britain because of her European worries She assumed friendly attitude toward the United States thus hoping to allay fears of the future. How

Lilliput Does It's Stuff
Cleveland Plain Dealer)

Cleveland Plain Deaer)
 Italy is ruled at the moment by group of tired and somewhat battered officials They have just pleted the second annual field day which Mussolini instituted last year
 The idea back of Il Duee's mind is probably the desire to keep down official waistnes, but the affair looks very much like process of picking the best swimmer the best wrestler the man best qualified to hold of the limited number of seats in the cabinet to govern a province.
 Italy brides itself initiating original ideas and procedures. But in making his official cohorts sweat under the Roman sun during the when the sir occo blowing across the Mediterranean from the Sahara Il Duce not original Here is a report of similar method:
 When high office is vacant the candidates request the emperor to be permitted to dance in his presence tight rope The one who jumps the highest without falling is named to fill the vacancy. The chief ministers themselves often ordered to give proof of their skill and to convince the ereign that they have lost nothing of their form"
 This report made by Gulliver than two centuries ago after his return from the incredible land of Lilput. Perhaps Il Duce who loves to pitch hay and swim obtained many of his ideas of govern ment from Swift's classic.

CANNED SALMON ADVERTISING x
 SHOWING RESULTS

The National advertising cam paign conducted for canned sal mon by the Canned Salmon h. dustry has enabled the industry to keep sales of the product ahead of the increasing supply, the salmon industry advertising office at Se- attle has revealed in a report com pairing sales and pack during the four years of the advertising pro- gram with the industry's record for the ten years prior to advertising.
 The report points out that aver age figures covering period of years are used rather than figures for any indiYidual year because over a period of time, the average gives a truer picture of the trend. Individual years are affected by unusual conditions which tend to iron out over a period covered by the average figures.
 As a result of conservation meas ureS which have increased the aV- craze yield of the Alaska salmon fisheries even beyond the decline in production noted on Puget Sound and Columbia River, the American salmon pack for the four years, 193538 averaged 7,455 000 cases. The average for the ten years prior to 1885 was 6593, ,000 cases.
 Tht1c tla o,op,,o1 ,,o alr of co1.x11x, has increased an average of 862,- 900 cases or 13 per cent.
 The report points out that al- though economic conditions have forced low price level for canned salmon in several recent years as result of low purchasing power on the part of consumers and a tremendous increase in the volume of competing canned fish products, through the use of consistent ad- vertiSing, the sale of canned salmon has shown an increase somewhat greater than that shown by the pack.
 The average sales of canned sal- mon for the four years since the start of the industry advertising campaign amounting to 7,575 ,O0O l cases as against an average for the ten years prior to the start of the advertising of 6,517,OOO cases, sales of canned salmon are shown to have registered an average net gain of slightly more than one mil lion cases per year, or 16 per cent since the start of the advertising program.

FRIDAY, AUGUST Il, 1899

Mixed good and evil are discerneo in the planetary influences for to- day, according to astrology. In the morning the mind may be confused and lethargic.
 Although there should be ability to discern the best in human na- ture, women may be misjudged in their ambitions under this configu- ration. They will be happiest attend ing to their knitting until the signs change.
 Industry should be fortunate to- day Workers will be inclined to cooperate in important matters. Dr. gent orders will be received by many manufacturers.
 Farmers should benefit today, as the stars promise better prices for the future. Methods of distribution are to be improved and agriculture conducted on a scientific plan. Bet ter returns are forecast for fruits and grains. Increased demand for food staples will mark the au- tumn
 Persons past middle age are for tunate under this configuration which seems to promise return of respect for experience. Advice of elders will be sought by members of their families.
 The evening is promising to men and women who find joy in simple recreationS. AStrologers emphasize the importance of curtailing expens- i've amusements.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augufy of a year of unusual events. For some men upheavals in business are pending.
 Children born on this day may be forceful in speech and determined in action. These subjects of Leo gen. erally succeed at any cost, but they are usually honorable. Their ruler is the Sun.
