WHY, then, is there all this talk of war with Japan in the United
States? The president of the United States is a scholar, a demo
crat and a man of high personality and has always maintained the
principle of peace.
Why is the Democratic government urging military extension? We
do not believe that the United States intends to come to us with her
navy.
If they came over here with a great squadron we would welcome them
NOT WITH WEAPONS, BUT WITH FLOWERS, AND FORM A.
COMMISSION FOR THEIR ENTERTAINMENT. On the surface it
seems that there is no reason for military and naval extension programs
in the United States, which does not intend to invade Europe or Japan.
But there is a great reason for it. Now, Europe, after two years’
warfare, is accustomed to plundering. If the United States is not well
armed the European powers will insult America.
THE UNITED STATES TO KEEP ITS INTEGRITY MUST ARM. SIM
PLY FOR THE SAKE OF DEFENSE MILITARY EXTENSION IS JUSTI
FIED.
I read the messages of President Wilson, and the reasons he gave for
increased armament seem quite justifiable. In a like manner Japan feels
the necessity of maintaining her position in the eyes of the world. Both
Europe and America will have to recognize this position in the course of
the next half century.

and will have only a-few of the best
ones left, such as lawyers, doctors
and promoters. Their only reason for
not moving up is they will have to
pull up their wood. There will not be
a shoveler left in the town, for they
