PACE TWS Che Kev Tesi Citizen _ Published Daily Except Sunday By THE CITIZEN PUBLISHING CO.,, INC. L. P. ARTMAN, President. From The Citizen Building Corner Greene and Ann Streets JAPAN IS NERVOUS There appears to be a mistaken no- tion on the part of Japanese statesmen that there is some feeling of hostility toward their country in the United States. We are cautioned to be patient with Japan because we do not fully understand her problems. America has been very patient and prob- ably will continue to be patient, notwith- standing the sabre-rattling of responsible Japanese leaders and the obvious disposi- tion to make the Pacific a Japanese lake. There has been commendable lack of retaliatory talk on the part of American jingoes and it is to be hoped that this salu- tary silence will continue. There has been entirely too much speculation on the possibility of war be- tween America and Japan for the good of either nation. Some of it originated in the two nations and much of it emanated from Europe. By sane observers it is regard- ed as absurd that any question now agitat- ing either nation could lead to war. Japan has many friends in America. Time was when she was regarded with en- thusiastic admiration. Many Americans thought President Theodore Roosevelt’s peace efforts in 1895 were ill-timed; that Japan should have been allowed to trounce Russia to a finish. It required many years of Japanese arrogance, disregard of her pledges’ regarding China and. finally her Manchurian foray and the wanton .bom- bardment of Shanghai to change ; this friendly regard to’an attitude of disillu- sionment. But still there is no hostility to- ward her, not even when the commanding Admiral of her fleet charges America with being party to a plot to forge a hostile ring about the Mikado’s empire—a charge so childish as to be unworthy of its reputed source, ese nerves is the effort to connect the sale of American planes to China with official Washington. The good sense of Japanese leaders should tell them that America has nothing to gain by a clash with her. We do not hate her or desire her undoing. Normally our attitude is most friendly. It has remained so despite an apparent disposition to irri- tate us. It is highly regrettable that the military caste in Japan is suspicious of American intentions. It is very earnestly to be hoped that wise and fair-minded Jap- anese travellers, diplomats and statesmen who understand the true American atti- tude toward their country can succeed in calming the apprehension that seems to exist and can allay suspicions of America’s attitude.

A JOB FOR STATESMEN Ss Many experienced observers of world affairs are greatly alarmed over the pres- ent outlook. Some go as far as to pre- dict that another European war is inevi- table, and perhaps not a long way off. Even the most optomistic must agree that a ser- ious situation exists. This, we believe, is not because any nation really wants war, but it is because economic conditions are so desperate in mogt European, ¢ountries that the govern- lrhehts in power are unable to satisfy the demanin of their.own people. for a chance earn their daily bread. There is. suf- ‘a ing in America—real suffering—among “a large element of our ponulation... Buteit is relatively slight in comparison with what is being experienced in some other parts of the world. The pitiful paradox is that there is enough food and clothing and raw ma- terials in the world to make everyone fair- ly comfortable if some means could be found for their rational distribution. The granaries of the United States and Canada are almost bursting with sur- plus wheat while millions go hungry; there is an immense cotton surplus while | millions go unclad; other basic commodi- ties go begging because those who need them have no money with which to buy. Will the statesmen and business lead- ers of the world be able to avert the crisis | which these conditions threaten to bring | about? 0. QO.

But better judgment prevailed and the local daily was bought. It is in- timated that it will be republican in policy. The republicans of Florida have always wanted an organ, and tried publishing a paper at least once to the writer’s know- ledge, but it flopped. Now, with an es- tablished newspaper in a town that can support one paper, and does not have to go through the experimental stage with its attendant financial losses, The Herald's success Js assured. In Friday's paper The Citizen got the Kansas’ City temperature mixed with that of Key West, the difference in warmth be- ing 43 degrees in Key West's favor. That Key Westers are jealous of this weather superiority and that The Citizen is zealous- ly read in every part of the city, was made manifest by the large number of subscrib- ers from every section of the city who call- ed our attention to the wrong notation. The proof-reader was severely rebuked for his carelessness. However, in the ear of the right-hand corner on the first page, the temperature was printed correctl) “Key West, 8 a. m., 60.
