MISINTERPRETED UPHOLDS DEMOCRACY Relations between the United States and Janen are evidently to be come somewhat critical. Last week, !lTV.wn with America" signs were posted in Shanghai as Japanese sol diers alleged "mistreatment" of Japanese gendarmes arrested by U. S. iMarines. Lenial by Marine offi cers that any mistreatment was ac corded the Japanese, who pushed into the American zone against reg ulations. means nothing to the Ja panese who seem to be seeking the basis for an "incident" against this country. i Japanese dissatisfaction with tne policies of the United States is not of recent oriirin. Taking advantage ' of th world situation, the Japanese are shoving, the French around . and . threatening serious military activity mrainst Great Britain. Naturally. ' the Army of Japan is putting out; feelers to see what kind of reaction ; will come from the United States, j With Japan intent upon ousting Western nations from the Far East, Tokyo is also concerned over the ex- port licensing system covering cer tain war materials in this country. The Japanese fear that the system may be used to prevent their getting necessary war materials from the United States. In addition, the Ja-1 paneses do not like the presence of j the American battleship fleet at Hawaii. It is entirely possible that the present furore will die down, but it is almost inevitable that, in the fu ture, something like a showdown be. tween Japan and tner United iStates will occur in the Far East. Since the defeat of France, the French have practically given up their rights in Indo-China at the order of Japan. British interests at Hong Kong are in peril because the Empire re fuses to close the Burma route to China. Japan understands that Great Britain, fighting Germany in Europe, will not he able to move effectively in the Far East. This leaves only the United States to block the im perialistic program of Japan. The Japanese Army intends to test the firmness and resolution of the Amer ican Government by producing re peated periods of tense feeling. Should the United States waver in weakness, the expansionists will take it as a green light for the "full speed" signal.

From the standpoint of interna tional law, .as it was understood when the European War began, the British would be entirely within their . rights in any entanglement with ' French warships, but since the American republics have attempted to set up a 300-mile safety tone to prevent hostilities in this hemisphere, it seems probable that the British might prefer not to force an issue with American republics. Thia might cause British warships to follow French warships out of the safety zone before making any attack. Nevertheless, some observers believe that British warships will not miss an opportunity to capture or destroy hostile French vessels even if it be comes necessary to disregard the so called safety zone.

V 4 l to prevent the transfer of territory. A significant difference is to be found in the fact that the Monroe Doctrine does not assert, in behalf of the United States, any predominant interest in the economic and political life of this hemisphere. Other na tions may enjoy commercial rights upon the same basis as that enjoyed by the United States. Following the declaration of Secre tary Hull, President Roosevelt sug gested that Europe and Asia apply the principles of the Monroe Doc trine to their own territory. His ut terance, as reported, cause some con fusion because foreign observers be lieved that it might be used as a 1 justification of the attempt of Ger many and Japan to set up exclusive ' . il 1 ? a. i areas ior meir own oenem. j ine rresiaenj suggesiea uiai uie nations of the various regions settle their disputes. He pointed out that is country would not countenance tne seizure 01 territory witnm tnis hemisphere which should be a matter to be decided by all of the American republics. Similarly, he suggested : that the disposition of French Indo- ' China should be decided among thei Asiatic powers concerned. The President's statement was re-j layed to the press by his secretary and the resulting misinterpretation seemed to arise because there was no accompanying explanation whether Asiatic countries, for example, in! disposing of French Indo-China; should be free from the domination' of an aggressive military regime. This observer is inclined to be lieve that the President's statement was not sufficiently explicit and' serve0- 10 name nve county comnus that, in the near future, further ex-1 sioners three of them incumbents; planation of the Monroe Doctrine application of a! for Eurnnp. nH Asia will be forthcoming. President Roosevelt recently point ed out that there can be no com promise, even philosophical, between totalitarian and democratic processes of government. The President warn ed against ideological flirtation with the "corporate state as a substitute for democratic government or as a means of competing with totalitarian efficiency." He pointed out that the prescription for universal peace would include five "freedoms": (1) Freedom of information and knowledge and of the press. (2) Freedom of religion. (3) Freedom of expression. (4) Freedom from fear of attack j andf threat to territorial integrity. (5) Freedom from want, and the greatest possible cultural and com mercial intercourse among nations. Admitting that the "time lag" is intrinsic in a democratic system and that the corporate state moves more swiftly at times, the President point ed out that it centralizes supreme power in the hands of a few, impos ing no restraint on them in regard week, may not be the last word in regard to appropriations for national defense. What seemed adequate and complete a few months ago is now hopelessly out-of-date, in the President's opinion, and what hap pens in the future may make the present $10,000,000,000 rearmament program insufficient for the com plete protection of the United States. The President's supplementary re quest included funds for the creation of a larger army, with adequate re serve material and supplies for an other million men.

Hefren's automobile was damaged to the extent, of approxi mately $100 in an accident in front of his house on Market Street last Saturday night.
