Japan's New Naval Program
New York Timesl


Announcement from Tokyo that Japan intends to
maintain fleet equal to that of the strongest naval
power be taken too literally The present pro-
gram, following it does three previous expansion
programs cone of which is unfinished, must mean,
it is true that Japan does not wish to be too greatly
outdstanced the naval which she herself did
so much to But this principle of fleet equal to
that of the strongest Power must be regarded
tally as reteraton of Japans old demand for naval
parity-that demand which prefaced her abrogaton
of the naval treaties and which helped thereby to lead
to the present unlimited construction of men-of war
all the world.
For there is good reason to believe that japan does
not wish to- and sober fact cannot equal the great
construction program of Great Britain and the United
States-the only two naval Powers which maintain
fleets stronger than Japans. The financial drain on
Japanese economy already forced to carry regular
biondolar budget during the 193940 fiscal year and
an extraordinary Chinese war budget of S1350000000
more is too to support program really COM
parable quanttatvely with the programs started here
and in Europe Moreover there is considerable doubt
that japanese shpbuding firms and her heavy indus
try handle program of the magnitude required
give Japan parity in fact rather than in theory.
Certainly if to limit our exports to her of
machine tools and of scrap steel she would be hard put
to finish her present program much less to initiate the
projected one.
! But although the Tokyo announcement may be
taken merely restatement of theoretical position,
it unfortunately tends to intensity the naval race
already joined in qualitative if not much in guam
titative, detail 1t is now generally believed IN wash
ington and London that Japan is constructing from
two to four 10000 to 10000 ton capital ships armed
with 16-nch guns As consequence Britain has asked
for the Lion and the Temeraire 40000ton vessels and
projected two $100000000 monsters of As 900
tons. Accordingly, if the japanese program fol-
lows the pattern of the past it may well influence us
to design faster and stronger land perhaps larger
men-of-war, with consequent increase in cost per
unit ton. This is process which able to bear
far better than is Japan; but it is discouraging
tr9sa6 To toa olra adX hnrGnf nf
taxation which the worlds weary taxpayers are
bearing.

est of which suggestion in 1861 that all America
go to against most of Europe, with himself as
the director of the enterprise The conduct of Spain
toward Santa Domingo, of France toward Mexico
and the alleged attitude of England and Russia toward
the seeded states to be the grounds for precpi
ating this gigantic conflict; and agents to be
sent into Canada Mexico and Central America to
arouse spirit of hostility to European intervention
Dangers from abroad would destroy the conflict at
home and the Union would be saved. When this
proposal was quietly put aside by the President and
Seward perceived in Lincoln chief executive in fact
well in name, he dropped into his proper place,
as Secretary State rendered services of inest
mable value to the nation.
At the time that Lincoln was assassnated
Seward attacked at his home by Lewis Powell,
alias Payne, fellow-conspirator of John Wilkes
Booth The Secretary's son and three others who
came to his assistance also wounded by the as
sailant Stewards wife, invalid, received such a
shock that she died within two months and his
only daughter who witnessed the assault never re-
covered from the effects of the scene and died
within the year Seward gradually regained his
health and remained in the Cabinet of President
johnson until the expiration of his term in 1869
The Alaska purchase took place years after the
assassin's attack In 1872 he died at his home town
Auburn New York
Besides Alaska, Seward negotiated treaties for
the purchase of the Danish West Indies the Bay
of SANTANA and for American control of the Ithmus
of Panama but none of these deals was ratified by
the Senate.
That the same thing could very easily have
happened the Alaska purchase is a thought which
frigtens yet 70 years later But that great deal
did go through and Alaska will always be monu-
ment to William Henry Seward.

HOROSCOPE
The stars incline
but do not compel"
FRIDAY, MARCH 81, 1899

Although astrologers read this as
a doubtful day in planetary direc-
ton, benefic aspects seem to dom
mate. The morning is an exceeding
ly fortunate time for women.
Under this direction of the stars
girls should seek contracts in bust
ness. 1t is lucky for actresses of
both stage and screen.
News that promises benefits for
women is prognosticated. This may
take the form of concessions in in
dustries not previously hospitable to
the employment of girls.
This is believed to be lucky day
for writing love letters. Suitors may
expect the right answers to their
protesttations of devotion.
AS the month ends the stars seem
to smile upon workers and there is
a prophecy of victory in labor con-
tests. Widespread employment is
forecast.
Mars is in threatening aspect,
preSaglnS the spread OF war fears
and the thwarting of peace efforts.
Women are believed to have a limit
ed power in preventing the United
States from entering foreign con-
flicts.
According to the portents for the
remainder of the spring, women's
protests will be insIstenr anc aa-
termined as war scares are frequent.
Organizations will gain in exeCaclye
ability and general influence.
Persons whose birthdate it is have
the augury of year of prosperity.
Property holdings should be prof.
table, but care in selecting agents
should be exercised.
Children born on this day prob
ably will be strong in physique and
determined in character. Many of
these Aries subjects succeed as
leaders in politics. Oratory is che Of
their talents.

The 100000 industrial workers of Italy are to get
pay increases thanks to the benevolent action of II
Duce. To casual observer this might seem to ndi-
cate that Fascism is most generous to its working
class and that Italy making substantial economic
progress under the benign guidance Of the former
Socialist newspaperman who now governs in Rome.
slightly less casual observer, however will note
that the generosity of the Fascist regime is rather
sharply circumscrbed Pay increases will range from
to 10 percent This does not begin to make up
for the reductions in pay imposed few years ago
in drastic defation program.
still more observant person will note also that
the average hourly wage of industrial workers in Italy
has been I'll lire. On wage of IL cents hour the
typical Italian workman must admit there plenty
OF room for Improvement. Living is not cheap in
Italy, and feeding family 80 cents day is
thing less than luxury.
The decree ordering pay increases calls attention
to the absolute Capitalization of economic power under
Fascism, to the shockngly low standard of living of
The Italian masses and to the arbrariness with which
! economic changes are made. Americans may well
notice such news dispatches as these

a huge inheritance.
Named in the indictments were
John B. Mcneil, Frank r. Dono-

Donovan were named in one in
dictment on three counts with sep
arate $500 grand theftS. A second
