The unking of the American gunboat, Ianay, by the Japanese in the Yungtse river of China apparently has set fire to tinder because there have been outbursts of all sorts since that inexcusable incident of early December. There ran be excuse or apology by ttie Japanese on end, but neither excuse nor apology will satisfy most Americans. They feel properly that Japan is trying to rub our collective noses into the ground and nearly every person wants to do something about a tiling On the other hand, I of that kind. am convinced that the answer lies in another direction; it is to be found, I believe, in exacting a promise from the Japanese that they will cut out those tactics. If their premises mean anything. It will be better to accept them and hope that we may not be confronted with another such incident In any event, there Is plenty of evidence that the majority of the American people desire to avoid war. They will continue to cherish peace unless elements in our nation lend us in another direction by use of war propaganda. I include those elements the government itself. I do so because the government, by use of propaganda, can come pretty close to leading the nation by the nose if it so desires. It can build up sentiment against the Japanese until there is a white heat and a demand for vengeance. I believe President Roosevelt is trying to avoid war at this juncture. There is a basis for this belief in the fact that the Department of State has withheld some of the ficts about tiie Tanay sinking. These facts, as rumored, are of a character that easily could fan flames of added hatred On this basis, it appears at least that Mr. Roosevelt is seeking to avoid conclusions by the nation. But as was said by an earlier President: the time to prepare fur war is while the nation is at peace. That is to say, the nation must have Its defenses solid, substantial; it must take nothing for granted in a world that is fraught with unrest and uncertainty, 'racked by suspicion, permeated to the very core with chicanery and scheming of alleged statesmen. The smallest boy will not "jump on" another who will hit him on the chin if the attack is unjustified. That is human nature. and human nature is about tiie same over the whole world. A year ago I wrote something in these columns in support of the President's program for building up the army, navy and air corps. It seemed then to be wise. It is certainly shown now to have been the proper course. Our nation is at least partially ready to strike back and the progress thus made has been accomplished without tiie waste that characterized our movements in 1917. Noting that I said "partially ready, I want to call attention here to one way in which we are not ready, a condition in which we are quite vulnerable. We have a great army structure on paper. From it, the army can be expanded rapidly and successfully. The air corps can be developed quickly. The navy is being built up. The whole program is one of defense. included Cuba as a source of supply. It is only because American capital Cuba has persevered in Shut Out making available tiie Cuban manganese deposit. The Manganase corporation has expended large sums for establishing the beneficiation process on a permanent basis. Tiie bureau of mines tells me that corporation has succeeded, but due to Secretary Hull's reciprocal trade policies, even that company can hardly get into the American market. You see, Secretary Hull made a trade treaty with Brazil that reduced the tariff duty by 50 per cent. When that was done, the reduction in duty immediately became available to all nations since we must treat all of them alike. The treaty by Secretary Hull which was approved by President Roosevelt, therefore, spelled death for the chances of development of the manganese mines within our owrn borders. To show further how these reciprocal trade policies have ruined our own chances, let me call attention to the fact that the government itself has developed an electrolytic process at the great Boulder dam that will make high grade manganese from the ore in this country. So here we have a government-owne- d project and a great reserve from Cuba available and nothing can be dune about it simply because they can not compete with the cheaper ore from abroad-chea- per because of cheap or forced labor and Secretary Hull's unexplainable cut in tariff duties. Our national policy always insisted on an American standard of living for Americans. That means higher wages. It is a correct policy. But why, I ask, does Secretary Hull destroy a home industry on the one hand and provide for profits of foreigners on the other when we cling to a policy of the kind mentioned? I Cuban-America- Of immediate urgency, however, a supply on hand. Congress n to "replace-Gun- s rnents.

No substitute ever has been found for it. The Germans learned this to their sorrow back m 1918. They attempted to use a substitute. Their guns soon buckled. Their heavy artillery was useless.

Americans, of course, could not compete with foreigners Even the Cuban company could not make an offer within reach. Something has held up the contract award, however, and there has been delay. I am fearful that some of our steel companies have urged War department specifications that would not permit Americans to participate in the contract because of the low gradi; ore in this country, but in any event the Hull tnrilT reduction would hold our mines outside.
