TWO SIDES To Every Question By LYTLE HULL SECURITY IN THE PACIFIC A Shanghai press report states that Japan is becoming appre hensive over the effect in the Far East of a totalitarian victory in Europe. The report intimates that Japan may attempt to improve its relations with the United States with a view to a mutual agreement to maintain the present status in the Pacific. Americans also are apprehen sive over the effect on the United States, of a totalitarian victory in Europe, and some parts of this apprehension is occasioned by the posibility that Japan might join the dictators in an attempted ad venture in our hemisphere. The American people are angry with Japan because of their ag gressive and heartless tactics in China. American business and po litical circles are disturbed over the possible loss of our Chinese markets in the event of Japanese conquest of Chinia. And so our problem seems to be: Shall we allow Our decent emot ions and our sense of fair play and our present Chinese economic policy, to outweigh our national security. It is a tough question and it certainly has two sides. In the first place—how far can one nation trust another any more? If we forget our feelings and renew old friendship and trade relations with Japan; and if we agree with the present Jap anese government upon some doc trine of mutal safety in the Pac ific; can we depend upon these agreements being upheld by some new goyerment which might take control in that country? The an swer would seem to be "yes," pro vided our friendship and econo mic cooperation was of greater value to Japan than that of any other nation or group of nations. To start with—that nation has nothing to fear from us militar istically and much to fear from Russia, or Russia backed by Ger many. With a friendship and ma terialistically helpful United Sta tes on the other side of t&e Pacific, Japan, with her great fleet, could protect herself from almost any foe. Increasing mar kets with us and regardless of the whereabouts of our fleet, she could control the Pacific sea lanes. This country produces most of the raw materials which Japan needs for her factories; and we are—or were—buyers of vast am ounts of her manufactured pro ducts. Japan realizes /that we are fundamentally the riches nation in the world, and when this war has finally ruined those few CABINETS Elkin Lbr. & Mfg. Co.

United States friendship means more to Japan than the friendship of any other group of powers, and this being the case, it would seem obvious that we could depend up on her adherence to an agree ment which would so vastly ben efit her. From our point of view there is little doubt which side of the qu esti6n would be most favorable to us. Primarily—as a friend—we might be instrumental in nego tiating a cessation of war which is becoming unpopular with a SALE W USED FURNITURE SUITES-RANGES-KITCHEN CABINETS ODD PIECES. ETC.

C. great number of the Japanese people, and has already become desperately expensive to all of them. Secondly we would be in a position, when the Sino-Japanese wars ends, to build up an Oriental trade far greater than any we have ever hoped of having. Third—we could be of tremen dous assistance in helping to re build Chinia. Fourth—in order to reach a mu tually beneficial agreement, we would not have to agree to ship war implements for the further arce of the present struggle. Fifth—with our Pacific coast safe from attack, we could move into the Atlantic the greatest and most efficient force of fighting ships which sail the seas. As opposed to all these benefits, is our feeling of enmity tword a nation which we consider a cruel aggressor toward another nation. It is a hard question to decide in our own minds, but it would be very comforting to know that our fleet was in the Atlantic and that Messrs. Hitler, Mussolini and Stalin all put together, haven't got the naval power to bring an equipped army and air force to these shores through our first line of defence, even in the dismal event that Germany won the present war and captured what would be left of the French and British fleets. Maybe some day, when armies and tanks and guns are carried by air—but not today; and cer tainly not later, when our rearma ment program begins to show ma terial results. The attitude of the people, upon which our govern -1 ment patterns its actions, can 1 drive Japan into the longing arms of the dictators or can win their support to the side of the democracies. The first of these results would be disastrous to the vital Eastern life-lines of the French and British. The second i might spell the turning of the tide. When the white man first came to America, dogs were the only animals employed by the Indians for transportation.
