Japan’s Imperial Ambitions Cast Black Shadow Across Pacific to Shores of the U. S. A. Modeled on ‘‘Pan-Germanism,’’ Plans of Asiatic Junkers Em- brace Autocratic Realm to In- clude China, India, Philippines, Hawaii, and Dutch, French and British Islands, (Written Especially for the Tribune.) By DR. ARTHUR J. SELWYN. BROWN. (Famous Economist and Financial Expert, Traveler and Student of the Orient.) New York, Aug. 13.—The black shadow of “Pan-Japanese” plans to seize and dominate the Pacific is fall- ing across the world. Modeled exact- ly on Pan-Germanism, the plans of the Japanese junkers are exactly as dangerous to world peace. Japan is. planning an Asiatic em- pire covering 7,000,000 square miles|, i of territory, with a population of near-|, ly 1,000,000,000 Asiatics. Its bound- aries will include British India, Thib- et, China, Siam, ‘the Dutch colonies, ‘Colonization of the Philippines, Ha- many of the South Sea islands, Ha-| Wail, Mexico, Central and South Am- wali and the Philippines.

While the rest of the allies have been fighting, Japan has heen making Jand hi millions out of war, saving her army and navy, “colonizing” captured Ger- man islands in the Pacific, extending her claimed spheres of influence in Mongolia and Manchuria, seizing Kiau-Chau, organizing seized Korea; and “peacefully penetrating” the Dutch colonies, the Philippines and Hawaill. The end of the present war will find Japan stronger than ever in na- val, military and financial resources. For the week of June 2, the Bank of Japan showed a balance of $42,000,000 in deposits, compared with $291,000,- 000 last’ year. The foreign trade in 1913. was $681,000,000; for this year it is, estimated ‘at $1,250,000,000. Japan, according to her junkers, wants sources of raw material ,par- ticularly wool, cotton and pig’ iron. Her birth rate is very high, the in- crease in population running ‘between 600,000 and 700,000 ‘annuallly.. This gives plenty of incentives to seek ex- pansion of territory at the expense of other nations. Since the beginning of the Europe- an war in 1914, the Pan-Japanese:par- ties ‘have been aggressively pursuing their policy of cynical expediency along German lines. : The national character of the Jap- anese is similar to the Prussian. The ‘Tartar blood in many of the Japanese! dinds’them racially ‘to the Prusalans,| in' whom there is a predominant Tar- tar strain, as the fierce aspect, strange little head, and Tartar eyes of Hindenburg clearly show. ‘The Japanese lack religious re- straints to serve-as ethical standards. ‘Like the Germans, the Japanese place might above right. The government in the hands of an autocracy; ‘wages are low and hours long for the workers; the cost of living is increas- ing.’ The governing class is dominat- ed by the same principles as Ger- many's with all the recent Prussian developments and’ modifications of; those principles. Japan entered this war because of the Anglo-Japanese alliance, but has taken an insignificant part, except to further her own aims. In conjunction With Great Britain, she reduced the German: fortress of Kiau Chau, and hervnavy, assisting the Australian na- ‘yy, patroled the Pacific, and enabled Japan to:seize and occupy several im- Portant groups of German islands. “Peaceful penetration” by coloniza- tion of these islands ‘has followed as part of the plan. The islands lie near British New Guinea, the northeastern coast of Australia, and the important Dutch colonies in Borneo, Suma and Java. Some of them strategical- : ly menace the Philippines. One of the main reasons Japan is sending her present commission to: America {s to obtain President Wil, son’s assent to Japanese retention of the South Pacific islands she has | taken from Germany. As Australia and New Zealand will not consent to this, it offers a, basis or disagreement between the United States and the British empire. Sugcess in this plan means event- nal effort to secure China, British 'n- dia, the Philippines, Java, Sumatra, Borneo and Hawali—complete domi: nation of the Pacific. This tn turn would mean another war for world conquest. ger. ‘All of the Australian states, the premier of the commonwealth of Aus- tralia, and the premier of New Zea- ave stated they will not tolerate the retention of a single South Sea island by Japan. The Japanese have proved them- selves unsatisfactory colonizers. Their character {s distasteful to other peo- ple.

Buzzelle| Rev. George Buzzelle, rector of St. George's. Episcopal church, preached Sunday morning from Matthew xxv: 21y “His Lord said unto him, well done, théu good and. faithful servant; 1: thou. hast been faithful over few things, I will make the ruler over many things; enter thou into the joy of thy Lord. An excerpt of the ser- mon follows!" The little duties of lite-are often hard to perform. We steel ourselves tg, the great tasks,.and find an in- spiration in the largeness ofj the de- mand for exceptional calls. But to do well and faithfully the ordinary, every day duty requires a persistency and al devotion ‘that we do not all possess. | Yet it is'in the accomplishment of this latter that led to the promise! by our ‘Lord of fuller participation in larger things. -In ordinary busi- ness affairs the same principle holds good, and men are given larger pow- er as they have made good in the lower and more unimportant .offices. Even in the great war preparation that {s/going on, the men who are to ‘be placed in positions of responsibil: ity and authority have had to prove their worth and capacity by undergo- ing the labor and discipline of the enlisted men. In our own spiritual experience I am sure we will find upon careful examination, that there are many of-the things which we call ordinary on account of their oft re- currence, rather than because they are’ unimportant, that we are prone to neglect. For instance, our daily ‘prayers. From childhood we were taught to humbly come to the throne of grace with. that wonderful peti- tion, “Our Father,” but somehow in the after years other things have crowded it out. Surely it is a great loss to life to miss this: opportunity of coming ‘close to God and commun- ing with Him. I do not wish to dwell on the duty of prayer, but rather on the opportunity. Tennyson very beau- tifully says: “Pray for my soul. More things are wrought by prayer Than this world dreams of. fore let thy voice Rise ns & fountin for me night and jay. For what are men better than sheep and goats That nourish a blind life within the brain, If knowing God, they lift not hands of ‘prayer Both for themselves and those who call them friend? For so the whole round earth is every way. .

C., Aug. 11.—“Patri- otism cannot be stirred in a war for the destruction of German autocracy in Europe if it begun by the suppres: sion of democracy in America.” This was the keynote of a state- ment issued ‘by Representative John M. Baer of North Dakota, after being sworn in as a member of the house today. Fi After pleading fealty to the prin- ciples and program of the league; Rep- resentative Baer said: “In this national ‘crisis, questions of partisan politics and patronage are obliterated. My constituents, in com- +mon with the people of the nation, are ready to defend and preserve our country. They do not lack in loyalty and willingness to support the gov- ernment in woging war to make the world safe for democracy. “Congress has already pledged the lives of the men of this nation, and sent, but still refuses to conscript the private fortunes pledged by our chief executive, or even the war profits of our corporations. It is my earnest purpose to support the president ‘in, the fulfillment of his pledge of Amer- ican fortunes to defray the cost of war. To conscript men and at the same time allow monopolistic co¥por- ations to profit upon the world’s mia-. ery, is undemocratic and repugnant to. American ideals of liberty and justice. It is a monstrous injustice to ask the survivors of bloody fields to come home and pay the money cost of war. It is equally unjust to permit lobby- ists to oppose the conscription of wealth without let or hindrance, while making it unlawful for a mother to op- pose the conscription of the life of her son.” ONLY A WOMAN WOMAN REFUSES 10 FIGHT NOW «Continued from page one) Old| Bear Ghost, a mighty fighter, whose: son will serve in France with Co.
