On account of the present status of public af- fairs, the senator remained in Washington and on his job, paying little attention to mending his fences at hoiae.

Naturally, the Japanese are not pleased with any development which in- creases the likelihood that the American battle fleet will be-able to remain in the Pacific Ocean. . With adequate bases off- nore, happily from the sritish, the Atlantic coast of the United States to become reasonably safe from ssault, regardless of what enemy threatens us. This is not what the Japs would have preferred. They want a free hand in the 2 t and they do not have full liberty of action as long as the United States main- superior fleet in the Pacific. If Europe move to threaten the se- more now acquired sudden into the Atlantic, the re- kyo will equal the jubilation of this country. something else that worries They are afraid that the agree- t made public in Washington and Lon- © not represent everything. that has nged. With their practice Japs know statement there of liplomacy the that d many a public s _a‘setret understanding. ' If there is lich jOint agreement between the and the Americans the Japanese to know all about it as quickly ay have been a coincidence but ost immediately upon the news that s country and Great Britain had con- | cluded their mutually profitable trade, the s lessened. There was word that the Japanese had lightened up on their demands upon the French who had been asked to permit the Japs to land soldiers in Indo-China and to use the French railroad for transporting them in- to positions where they could attack the Chinese. MEXICO BARS JAP FISHERMEN From Mexico City comes word that an exclusive -fishing= concession has been granted Mexican fishermen off the west coast of Mexico. This is interesting because Americar: | naval officers have commented upon the activity of Japanese fishing fleets, which, in their opinion, were often interested in In fact, it has been reported, without official confirmation, that Japanese naval o ers have taken part in the fishing operations off the coast of Lower California. The Japanese had a concession until last October. At that time Mexico pro- hibited foreign ships from werking out of Mexican ports. Now they will be barred altogether. The Japanese have been sus- pected of making hydrographic surveys of Mexican waters for use in the event of war with thkis-country. SOME EDITORS FOOL THEMSELVES Editors take their yiews very Seriously t andit ifxi¢ht and proper that, theyshotld becausé nowman deserves the confidence of his readers if he treats highly therobliga- : tion ihat rests upon every writer for pub- | lic consumption. Just the same, every once in a while, we are highly amused by the absurd seri- ousness of some editors and columnists. To read them, you would think, if you did not know better, that the entire world waited anxiously for their daily, or weekly slurs upon their superiors. We hope there are readers who like the stuff that we put in our columns but if there is anybody losing sleep over our de- ductions and elucidations, we feel sorry for them. Moreover, if we ever get the notion that it is our business to pass judgment eternal upon the President of the United. | States, we hepe-somebody will begin to* laugh loud-enough for us to hear them. BATTLESHIPS PREFERRED A few years ago there were defense experts who insisted that the airplane had rendered the battleship obsolete. During the -present war in Europe the performance of airplanes has been~ far abeve pre-war expectations but no battle- ships have been sunk by mbs. Meanwhile, every first-class nation on the face of the globe-is speeding the con- struction of bigger and better battleships. | The United States is taking the lead.
