SATURDAY, JANUARY 7, 1922 Dickering With Japan Some people will feel that Japan is getting the big end of the disarma- ment conference. They will argue that the United States scraps more of its warships than any other power, that Japan is left mistress of her seas, and can develop her plans to monop- olize Chinese trade, and they will doubt whether her retirement from Shantung is going to be the real thing. In dickering between republics and monarchical countries, the latter can act in a reactionary way without be- ing called to account by their people. The American people had the sense to demand steps toward disarmament and our statesmen had to heed their demand. But the Japanese govern- ment is not thus controlled by its people, and it can do more as it likes, according to old time military ideals. Such situations were much worse before the war. Monarchical Ger- many used to meet with the powers at the Hague conferences. She would palaver around and talk friendship. But she woulld never stir a step to- ward limitation of armament. Her ruling class held the people in their grip, and did not have to respond to progressive world sentiment. Japan has shown a greater readiness to work for peace than Germany at those conferences, so the world does move. The fact that monarchical coun- tries are so slow to accept progressive ideals, does not prove that it will pay the rest of the world to lag behind also. Japan should have shown less disposition to dicker and retain ad- vantages for herself. But she will gain nothing by reactionary spirit. For every dollar's worth of trade that she gains by retaining Chinese territory, she will lose many dollars by antagonizing the Chinese. The United States may not seem to be getting so much out of it. But she is winning the favor of progressive people the world over, which is of more value than trade monopolies and battleships. Submarine Warfare France, Holland, and other of the lesser naval powers, strongly defend the use of submarines in warfare, on the ground that they are the weapon with which a weaker nation can de- fend itself, without having to build costly dreadnoughts at an expense of $40,000,000 apiece. But the world pays an awful price for the privilege of using submarines. Tt fs a mean and dirty form of war- fare. It attacks women and children and old men, equally with the fighters. And besides that, it prostrates the shipping industry. The peaceful mer- chant vessels on which the nations depend for commerce and food are indiscriminately sent to the bottom of the sea. The submarine can not always tell what kind of a ship it is attacking, nor what kind of freight and passen- gers its victims are carrying. Sub- marines ought to be outlawed, and weak nations should be protected by international agreement, rather than by using so mean a weapon. Big Year for Automobiles The total production of gasoline up to December 1 exceeded 1,500,000, and the total for the whole year will be close to the record and possibly exceed it. Signs 1) like these indicate that the business depression has been considerably ex- aggerated. The country on the whole must be prosperous, to invest so great a sum of money in this means of transportation. While the majority of these cars are used primarily for pleasure pur- poses, yet all these machines improve the equipment of the American peo- ple. They save time and permit business and civic work to be carried on in a much more economical way. They facilitate all kinds of public and private enterprises, besides pro- viding millions of people with a form of outdoor life that builds up their physical condition.
