UNCLE SAM AS A PROSPECTIVE CATSPAW
More than a few students of Oriental affairs are of the
belief that Great Britain would like nothing better than a
war between Japan and the United States in which John
Bull, because of his colonies, could display a more or less
benevolent neutrality. The reason for this belief lies in the
fact that Great Britain does not like Japan’s policy in Man
churia, nor the Japanese trade aggression which is displacing
British goods in many markets, but at the same time does
not care to sever her traditional friendship with the Japs,.
She does not want to see Japan entirely crushed because of
the predominating influence this would give Russia in the
far east, yet would like to see the wily Jap gently spanked
if this could be done by sorrie third power, with the blessing,
but not the assistance of John Bull himself.
For that reason so these students of foreign affairs state,
John Bull is always anxious to encourage Uncle Sam to
make protest against Japanese “imperialism” in the far east,
but never quite finds himself able to do anything about it
personally. t
A Japanese student, writing a letter to the New York
Times, stated recently that the heads of the Japanese gov
ernment realize the situation, understand that Great Brit
ain would like to encourage the United States in a quarrel
with Japan, and for that reason are willing to “make al-j
lowances” for American policies in the far east. Let’s hope so.
Yet Great Britain is not the only nation which would like
to make Uncle Sam a catspaw in fighting its battles in the
Orient. Russia has similar ideas about the situation in the:
far east. That is one reason by the Soviets, and all their
friends, were so anxious to have the United States rceognize
the “red” government. They felt that this would in some
way act as a deterrent to Japan in China and line up the Un
ited States with Russia in case of a war between Russia and
Japan. That is why publications and politicians, friendly
with Soviet Russia in the United States, are usually such
sharp critics of Japan and her policies. They are seeking to
bring about anti-Japanese sentiment in the United States,
not in our interest but in the interest of Red Russia.
With both Great Britain and Russia anxious to use the
United States as a catspaw in the Orient it is all the more
necessary that Uncle Sam keep out of any mess which may
be stirred up over there. In case of trouble between Japan
and Russia all of the red and so-called “liberal” propaganda

would start a bombardment to get Uncle Sam into the scrap
on the side of Russia.
And if Japan takes any action in the Orient detrimental
to British trade there will be plenty of pro-British propa
ganda in the United States seeking to induce Uncle Sam to
make a strong protest to Japan, in the name, of course, of
“humanity”.
There seems to be no good reason why there should be
apy trouble at all between the United States and Japan. If
Russia wants to drive the Japs out of China, and get in her
self, let her do her own fighting. And if British trade suffers
in the Orient because of, Japanese actions let John Bull do
his own protesting. His trade with China is six times greater
than ours, anyhow. Let us look to our own real interests,
which lie in the direction of keeping "out of foreign entangle
ment.—Exchange.
