NATIONAL EXPANSION.
Judge Gary proposes to establish
a branch of the United States Steel
Corporation in Japan. He also pro
poses to establish a branch in
China and exploit the resources of
both nations for tne benefit of the
American stock holders. The sug
gestion reveals the trend of modern
capitalism and how it surmounts
the geographical barriers of isolat
ed nationalism.
For when the company builds up
its industry in Japan it will utilize
Japanese labor and when it operates
in China it will utilize Chinese la
bor. Yet it will be called an Amer
ican company because some of the
leaders are Americans and most of
the dividends will be distributed
among the American shareholders.
But such a development inevitably
supposes that the product of the
mills in Japan and in China will
seek markets where they will in
come in active competitive contact
with the product of American la
bor, and hence although it may he
hard to realize it, the wages of one
will be placed in contrasting juxta
position with the other.
And it is clear as the noonday
sun that no exclusion act will bene
fit the American workers in such
active competition. Nor will any
thing else assist except that Amer
ican workers make common cause
with the Japanese workers and
establish not profit systems but com
monwealths wherein the welfare of
all is the incentive of industrial ac
tivities.
There is another thing in connec
tion with the proposed action of
the Steel trust. Japan is now build
ing up such a scheme of industrial
absolutism as nowhere else exists
outside the Island Kingdom. Agi
tation and organization although
valiantly enough persisted in by
many fearless workers, is punish
able hv a heavy fine. And every
thing is being done to fasten upon
that nation an imperialism which
has for its ultimate aims the spread
of Japanese commerce, finance and
trade generally throughout the
whole world.
The accession of Terauchi to suc
ceed Kato is the very significant
proof that the decks have been
cleared for action. Terauchi who In
turn is the tool of Prince Yamo
gato is the ideal junker of imperial
Japan. He represents the feudal
supremacy which is identified with
the spread of territorial financial
and commercial Dominion anywhere
and everywhere. It is identified with
a great navy and a great army and
a policy which makes for national
supremacy in trade through inter
national supremacy at arms.
It is the same party as manifests
itself in German Junkerdom, in
British Torydotn and in the Russian
bureaucracy, it is in fact essenti
ally devoted to the feudal bureau
cratic rule and has nothing liberal
or progressive about it. The gov
ernment of Count Oktuna and the
parliamentary supremacy of Kato
have had to give way before the
higher favor of Yamogato who re
allx instigated the premiership of
Terauchi.
When Terauchi was appointed,
the comment in American papers
was somewhat confusing. They
could not understand that such a
change was possible when only a
short time ago rioting at Tokio as
sumed such large dimensions when
the milder reactionary policies of
the government were trying to find
expression despite the discovery of
great naval frauds and contract
grafts within the government it
self.
That Terauchi can safely hold
power despite the sullen opposition
of a powerful liberal force is some
thing that will highly commend it
self to Gary and the Steel trust.
It means an expansion of trade for
Japan and the sunburst will give a
sheltering protection to Big Business
from Japan which would be highly
satisfactory to the American trust.
Besides it opens the way to other
possibilities. It means a greater
Japanese navy and greater stocking
of munitions and the Steel Trust
with its great organization could as
sist materially and profit greatly in
such government contracts. Then
with preparedness carried on in the
United States to such an extent as
would mean more extensive govern
ment contracts here also, with the
specter of a Japanese war unfolded
now and then to stimulate arma
ment plans, the Steel Trust would
catch the dollars and the yens go
ing and coming from one patriot to
the other.
The wisdom of a steel firm which
is also a munition firm establish
ing itself in countries which arc
likely to find their aims clashing
sooner or later, shows the extreme
prudence which dictates trade ex
pansion, and throws a great light
upon the patriotism of commerce.
A X'KW SLOGAN.
They have evolved a new slogan
in Great Britain which is almost as
significant as the Wilsonian ex
pression a victoryless peace.
The new slogan is in connection
also with the war, but in connection
with the prolongation of the war so
j that a victoryless peace may no
longer be possible. This expression
is “equality of sacrifice for all".
Government omciais macie use oi
these ‘weasel words’, but the people
took it up and made it mean much
more than the government had in
tended.
What the government meant was
that the working stiff who stayed
at home should be called upon to
do his bit in the munition factory
at the same sacrificial rate as the
working stiff who enlisted, got a
gun and manned the trenches. What
the people meant who took it up
was that if they gave their lives
and their labor for service, the men
with money should furnish forth
their holdings and their property,
th-ir money anti their securities :n
th.- same sacrifice It was main
tained that if tne workers gave of
their all, their lives and their labor
power, so should the rich be com
pelled to surrender of their wealth
which was far less important in the
social scheme in the long run.
Moreover to bring pressure to
bear upon the logic of the popular
interpretation of a government
slogan, the papers devoted columns
to the publication of the bills of
fare, the clothing supplies and the
fashionable trade which still were
to be had for those with money,
and they asked if there was in
truth any such thing as an equality
of sacrifice being enforced.
It is hard to say whether this
I war is really making the people
I think or not. Some things, and this
| demand is one of them, would seem
to indicate that it is.
A QUESTION.
Bread, neat and clothing with a
| less per capita production are all
cheaper in Australia than in the
■ United States. When the war was
in its infancy the Australian capital
! ists and speculators saw visions of
new wealth open up before them
J and they proceeded to realize them.
; But of late the government has
] stepped in prevented speculation,
legislated as to war prices and
bought up by commandeering all
the wheat of the country. They
took control of the abatoirs and
sold meat at definite prices which
returned good profit to the pro
ducers and brought it within the
reach of consumers at half price.
Some time when the people are
aroused sufficiently in the United
States, there will be less frivolous
talk of investigations as to the high
:osts of living and there will be
prompt action which will save the
dtuation.
TRUE PATRIOTS.
Those Californian and western
senators who threaten to delay the
idministration’s naval program are
ill strong for preparedness. They
want a big navy and a great army,
but when it comes to making a little
side money for their friends, pre
paredness must go.
The western naval oil reserve
sovers a considerable tract of ter
ritory. But it is the sworn statement
that such reserve is absolutely re
quisite to the naval needs. The
American navy is using more and
more oil burners and at a pinch
this source of fuel can alone be
depended upon. The claimants to
those lands which are involved in
this naval oil reserve are the same
breed of jumpers and stakers that
have looted the national resources
in every section of the country, anti
it is their interests, which are
merely nominal interests for the ac
tual interests, the great combines,
that Phelan and Pittman and the
rest are concerned over.
ASHAMED TO TAKE THE MONET
There are stunts pulled off in
Nome that Soapy Smith would be
ashamed to take the money. 3 in 1
oil 10c. 2 in 1 shoe polish 10c., get
a dust pan 10c., Egg beater 10c.
Jergens violet glycerine soap, lath
ers freely in hard water 10c. cake or
3 for 25c. Shelf oilcloth 2 yards for
25c., Bean pots, the little brown
ones with handles 50c. for 2 qt.,
65c. for 3 qt., and 75 cents for
gal. Brooms 60, 65 and 70 cents
each. They make the trust scratch
their head and you will save money
it is said. Common sense is know
ing when to begin, but it takes
judgment to know when to stop.
