THURSDAY, MARCH 3, 1988 Washington, D. C., Feb. 26.â€" ‘There is, to be sure, tension in the relations between the United States and Japan. The situation became somewhat acute immediately followâ€" ing the Panay incident. But that which should be made clear to the American people, who have become disturbed over the developments in the Far East and in the world genâ€" erally, is that there are no prosâ€" pects of war between the United States and Japan. e Such a conflict has been predi¢tâ€" ed so often that many are inclined to believe it is inevitable. There seems to be a feeling in the country that the recent events in the world bring this war closer. The conâ€" trary is the case. And our people can have that assurance if it is made perfectly clear by the Adminâ€" istration what it conceives to be our foreign policy. * There have been many issues makâ€" ing for friction between this counâ€" try and Japan. They had their beginning with the enunciation of the "Open Door Policy" in. China by ~John Hay in 1899.. At many Wints the fundamental principles of American Pacific policy â€" the sanctity of treaties and preservaâ€" tion of the territorial integrity of Chinaâ€"have clashed with the polâ€" icy of Japan. But that does not mean â€"that the United States must engage in war with Japan. Regardless of the militant attiâ€" tude of the Japanese and her agâ€" gressive actions, there is every reaâ€" son to believe that Japan earnestly desires to avoid any armed conâ€" flict with the United States. Those who have visions of a Japanese atâ€" tack on our shores seem altogether unaware not only of the naval difâ€" ficulties of such an attack but also of the unstable economic condition of Japan itself. Such an ambitious venture would mean her complete collapse. It would be sucidal. First of all, there is the factor of distance. To raid our western coast or to attempt to close the Panama Canal, Japan would have to travel a distance of more than six thouâ€" sand miles from her nearest base. It would be a venture foredoomed to failure. Apart from the loss of Pacific trade, national prestige and D.A.R. Better Films Committee Review "Submarine Dâ€"1".

This factor of distance ‘alone lends an air of unreality to the predictions of posible war between the United States and Japan. Moreover, it is more or less a eub] tainty that such a step on the part of the Japanese would immediately invite an attack on Japan from Russia, who is unconditionally opâ€" posed to the invasion of China. Rusâ€" sia merely bides her time, and she would welcome the opportunity to remove this constant threat at her borders. It should be recognized that for many years Russia has been atâ€" tempting to communize China, and it should also be recognized that the islands of Japan constitute the only "bar" to Russia‘s only practical outlet to the sea. The Baltics is frozen half of the year and the Mediterranean outlet can easily be closed. Her major interest is thereâ€" fore with the Pacific, and it can be readily seen what would result should Japan move toward ‘ the Twit In the second place, there is the factor of economics and â€" finance. Japan is a highlyâ€"industrialized nation almost wholly depedent upon exports and imports for existence. The United States is one of her maâ€" jor markets and sources of raw material. Japan certainly cannot risk a conflict with the richest naâ€" tion in the world and one of her principal markets. It is already becoming evident that the Japanese are not rich enough and strong enough financially to make a sucâ€" cess of their military acquisition of Manchukuo. The ultimate success of the China invasion is seriously to ‘be doubted. This does not mean that we can completely close our eyes to the Far Eastern developments and recent events in world affairs. It does not mean that we are absolutely secure and should give no thought to the adequacy of our national defense. But I think it is clear that much of the present day talk about an attack on the United States by Jaâ€" pan itself is pure nonsense and that many of the predictions are visionâ€" ary. _ General Electrics Defeat Voses 36â€"33 The General Electric basketball team shoved the Voses Grocers into a first place tie by virtue of their 36â€"33 win last Sunday, Vose is now tied with the Nelson Laundry five, and must play them Thursday night.

P. 178 16 410 Franklin Total 15 (33) High School for Wilmette Proposed by Board Head Establishment of a high school. for Wilmette ‘was proposed this week by Henry J. Brandt, president of the Wilmette board of education. The suggestion followed the anâ€" nouncement last week of Superinâ€" tendent Matthew P. Gaffney of New Trier Township High school within whose district Wilmette lies, that within a few years the present plant of the school would be inadeâ€" quate, and that some provisions must be made to accommodate stuâ€" dents in excess of 3,000. The school now has 2,500 pupils and is growâ€" \ing at the rate of 100 each year. Mr. Brandt endorsed the stateâ€" ment of Mr. Gaffney that a school of that size would be too large to give each student the individual atâ€" tention provided in the past, Where Mr. Gaffney, however, suggested as alternatives the establishment of branch high schools in the township or the creation of ninth grades in the elementary schools,. Mr.Brandt proposed that Wilmette withdraw from the township school district entirely. + ing The present high school district was established in 1900, and the first graduating class, in 1901, had two students. Last year‘s class numbered more than 500. Proposals to add a ninth grade to the grammar schools are being studied in Winnetka and Glencoe.
