Exported Cars Defeat
The British not only taught the
Japanese how to build a modern
fleet, but they actually expected"
TIE destruction by the Japanese
feet of the Cars navy.
Even after World War I, the
British sent a special naval cir
mission to Japan to teach the
Japanese how aircraft could sink
warships. You didn't find the
British Admiralty Boosting much
about that mission (under Lord
SemphilD when the Japanese air.
men sunk two of the finest battle
ships in the Royal Navy, off Singa-
pore, in 1871.
The japanese learned about
naval war from the British and
about land war from the Germans.
Learn from Americans
Watch them learn now from the
Americans.
There is nothing in the Japa-
nese racial makeup to suggest that
they cannot or will not learn what
is best in the teachings of the
West-just as they plainly learned
all too well about Western vio-
lence.
About Nisei Soldiers
Captain Fletcher has this to say
of our own Canadian soldiers of
Japanese ancestry:
Although they ranked only as
sergeants, they often did the work
of lieutenants and captains. They
made a good impression wherever
they went, and as our o. c. said
they were the best boosters of Ca
NADIA in the Far East.
They did this in spite of the
fact that they had been victims
of discrimination in Canada.
Some had suffered considerable
property loss. Others had actu-
ally come from internment camps
to enlist"
Canadas shameful treatment of
these fine people was shameful rs
compared even with that in the
United States-which was nothing
to boast about.
Must Wake Up
Unless Canada wakes up, Can
ada will lose out permanently in
the race for friendly contacts with
Japan-a nation which is destined
to be far greater in the future than
ever in the past.

SeattE.' Bids
For Farley
Editorial in The Seattle Star

ASNANCAAaA AAA AAA0 ANabtAN k9bdh
SEATTLE'S BID for the Japa.
nese Peace Conference is officially
before the State Department.
1t deserves-and needs-the vi
gorous support of every element in
the community.
Seattle's official invitation ap-
parently tops the list-and Mayor
William F. Devin rates commenda-
, ton for the promptness with which
he rose TO the opportunity.
But authoritive grapevine, re.
ports from the national capital are
to the effect that Washington, D
C. and San Francisco have beer
first. in the plans of the State De-
partment, in the event that the
conference. is held in this country.
The entire schedule. it appears
is in the planning stage.
The first preference of our State
Department was to hold the con-
ference in Tokyo. British Empire
nations, it is reported, object to
this. A conference in the United
States is the next preference Of
our own diplomats.
1t is by no means certain that
this will be acceptable to other ma
tons involved Australia may well
put in a bid for a conference al
Canberra or Sidney. But by ali
the logic of the situation the Uni
ted States should have a major
voice in the planning and the state.
ment of Gen. John H. Hilldring
Assistant Secretary of State fol-
Occupied Areas, that the depart
ment is unable to comment at this
time is proof enough that defin-
lite planning is underway
1t is precisely because the pro-
ject is now in the planning stage
that Seattle must act. NOW if its
bid is to receive serious considera.

Always, in a situation such as
this, San Francisco and Washing.
ton, D. c., seems to be first in the
thoughts of those doing the ad-
vance planning.
1t is time for Seattle to be first
and The Star welcomes the OPP
portunity to record that the mayor
the Gambler of Commerce and the
Hotel Mems Association are deter
mined that Seattle shall be con-
sidered, and shall be considered
.. FIRST.
There are many reasons why Sc
attic should be selected for this
conference. There are physical
RESPONSIBILITIES proximity to the
Orient, its unparalleled climate dur
ing the months of late summer and
! early fall, its ample hotel accom-
modations for any conceivable
number of official delegates.
There are also intangible factors
and in this connection we are glad
that Mayor Devin has stressed the
favorable atmosphere" of the Pa
cific Northwest.
No other section of this country
has SO much to gain from endur-
ing peace upon the Pacific.
No other region has a deeper
realization of the need for a new
start in world affairs.
The peace with Japan will be a
stern peace. 1t must be a just
peace.
Neither gloating over a conquer
ed enemy nor planning for another
war dominates the thought of our
people today. There is rather the
abiding conviction that a chapter
of world history has closed-a
dark chapter despite its overtones
of glory-and that a new era is
beginning.
There is among all our people, we
are convinced, the deepest feeling
that for the sake of DIR children
