national characteristics equally conspicuous in all may be considered as pride courage fanaticism and suavity f The Japanese are proud of their traditional ancestry as j children they are taught that the empire was founded by the gods they are proud of their “culture” and believe it will yet eftver the earth they are proud of their progress while their rapid rise during the past half century has excited the admira-tfo- n of more fortunately equipped and located sovereignties t&ey have advanced at a pace never before Recorded in the history of mankind from obscure isolation they have risen to world of a century without imrigration or ppwer in outside assistance Geographically Japan is a group of small volcanic islands having a land area of 147000 square miles smaller than California with a population equal to half that of the whole United States These islands are not very productive They are mostwithout the compensatory value of minerals mountainous ly Surrounded by stormy seas and greedy neighbors for centuries - the population resisted tidal waves floods typhoons earthquakes and other visitations — of pirates plagues and pestilence Patiently methodically and resolutely they have gone about tfre irregular business of reconstruction sometimes to be interrupted by another calamity before half through Every square yard of the soil in the original empire has been steeped in the blood and sweat and fertilized by the bones of toilers in the sun Modern Japan which clings closely as ever to ancient opin) ions regardless of changes in garb habits and methods entered the field of commerce and diplomacy when it abolished feudalism a few years ago and sent missionaries to every country to learn the secrets of greatness The consensus of conclusions lbng debated and finally adopted was that “force rules civiliza-tjon- ” An army and a navy were deemed essential to power Vith characteristic singleness of mind and purpose the Japanese Bet their goal and moved steadily toward it In 1895 the Japanese army tried its strength on China and on 9 war with an ease that made other governments gasp In 1901 Japan sent an army equal to the best regiments representing Europe and America to help quell the Boxer rebellion In 1905 Japan defeated Russia in a decisive war In 1914 Japan bas an ally of the entente governments against Germany In (91LJapantwaa acknowledged to be one of the five principal powers in all peace conferences and today she demands naval parity with Great Britain and the United States ‘ Courage in the' service of the empire has never faltered ijoldiers of Japan face death more cheerfully than aliens may aver be able to understand Countenances of frozen grimness break into smiles as death threatens on the battle field To illustrate the spirit of Nipponese soldiers when the army was Halted by an impenetrable barbedTwire entanglement near Shanghai a number of the little brown heroes wrapped their bodies in dynamite went into the barricade exploded them-Krand made a breach through which their comrades marched Ijo victory In his own quarrel acting for himself each of these martyrs might have evaded the issue But when their country needed the sacrifice it was offered up without the slightest hesitation just as that government is ready to hurl itself upon all jttacking enemies without counting the cost or considering the consequences Japan stands at attention fully armed ready to wrap herself in explosives and carry down to death her foes Mien everything else may fail Count Okuma declared that nothing could shake the firm belief of the Japanese masses that “the right of sovereignty originated with the gods of their veneration and rightfully remains in the hands of descendants of the Kami” Thus the dmperor is the earthly custodian of power and justice both qaered and secular inviolate in person infallible in judgment unapproachable in purity This accounts for the fact that no difference which side may dome out victorious in the present conflict of authority the leaders and adherents of the successful faction will be as reverential It is asserted that Emperor Hirohito Ip the Mikado as ever has behind him 2500 years of continuous rule by a family of which he is the 124th head Under the constitution which the insurrectionists desire to have abrogated the emperor is not as lpuch a ruler as he is a deity not an executive so much as a personification of the people every fanatical one of whom is ready 1° commit suicide by “hari-karto expiate for having caused frown to wrinkle his brow No more suave polite and diplomatic representatives of enlightened government can be encountered anywhere than among the Japanese They are anxious to please to learn to acquire wisdom for the good of their empire and make friends df those who may be able to help them in building up its trade As influence its power its prestige Their problems are another matter and as difficult to understand as the people themselves There is a faction that fosters militarism and relies on loot of conquest to supply the national exchequer Opposed 'to them is the constitutional party frying to maintain peace mak the country and keep on good terms with the rest of the world Leaders kill each other without animus without' feeling only to further what they consider the glory of their empire of the rising sun -

Collective Ownership Described as Failure Editor Tribune: I have before E A Mitchell’s articles of February 10 and 23 in which he smugly asserts that capitalism js a failure and that "private ownership and profit must be changed to the system of collective ownership and use” That’s a trite and fallacious song We have heard it before In the first place you can’t have collective ownership exclusive of competition without having communism and communism is an impossibility Anything less than communism is capitalism Capitalism is the system of rents interest and profits It always was and always will be and ought to be If communism were right we would have had it long ago But it is opposed to natural laws and hence it can’t be Collectivism never has been a success anywhere It has been tried and lived for a short time and died out It wouldn’t have lived at all if it had not been for the fact that the collectivists sold their commodities on a capital 1st market— to capitalists They were fnerely close corporations sell-in- g theiry goods to the capitalists and getting their profits Even good socialists admit that our trou ble is a lack or fault of distribu tion This world has progressed and developed greatly under capitalism Socialism would kill progress because it is opposed to sound economic truths The only trouble is distribution The socialists never have found a remedy for the faults of distribution Other economists me (Continued on Following Page) PFACHES Sunkist 2‘jS CHERRIES KavtvUle Royal Anne Hi FRUIT COCKTAIL— Sunkist tall la SUNKIST FIGS— Tall cant CHILI CON CARNE— Gebhardt’s No Is WHOLE CLAMS— 6 Values Straight or Asstd 17-2- 0 for 7 for DE LUXE PLUMS— Sunkist 2'4s SPRING GARDEN BEANS— No 2s SPRING GARDEN $ J fi X S — No 2s 1— Hormel tl) i cans OLIVES— Wyandotte large size pints WHOLE BEANS— Sun- kist Stringless B dc M Broken Slice 6 for 1 7 for ’1 Solar No 2Us Pineapple Regular 2le Loganberry Jelly Regular Heinz Baker’s 2 cakes CHOCOLATE CALUMET BAKING ) POWDER-- Lb 20e CABIN SYRUP— Medium can SWANSDOWN CAKE LOG- - 29c 23c 39c 27c FLOUR — Pkg ll J BcanCOFFEE THE $£00 can 58 4-l- b Lb Can 30 — Franco-Am- COFFEE STRENGTH ESSENTIAL 2-l- b 3 for 39 VALUES 10 for KRAUT— Sunkist Straight or Assorted - 2's TOMATOES BIG WISCONSIN CHEESE 3 lbs CANTON GINGER IN SYRUP 3 Jars KING KELLY Jars Marmalade 2-l- b MUSHROOMS— Sliced for 8 12 Spaghetti er No $1 2'js WHITE STAR Sardines Oval cans $ 14 for CAMPBELL’S TOMATO SOUP ANCHOVIES or ANTIPASTO 3 Jars it MILK— AH Brands PAR Granulated SOAP 25c VALUES Large package 27c for 5 ASSORTED SUNKIST APRICOTS— No 24 cans SUNKIST PEARS— No 2 4 cans CRUSHED PINEAPPLE— Sunkist 24s HEINZ TOMATO CATSUP— z large bottle MUSHROOMS — Fancy Buttons McGOWAN’S SALMON— No 4 tins FILLET ANCHOVIES ORANGE BLOSSOM HONEY—Globe jars FANCY WALNUTS 5 lbs PIN MONEY HOT STUFF SAUCE 14-o- $ 4-- SPERRY’S WIIEATIIEARTS SPERRY’S PANCAKE and WAFFLE Flour The Children’s Favorite Rich in Vitamin B — for growth and good appetite LARGE PACKAGE 10 18 pkg pkg 14-o- z 23c Large Package 28-o- z H73 SPERRY’S “i?omePerfected’’PiOUr 10-l- b 49 bag Straight nr Assorted COOKIES— Heg-59Taney Southern CRAB— 3 Dia- mond la BORDEN’S She Jars MALTED MILK WALNUT Halyet Fancy shelled 2 lba 2 for 24-l- b 12 Straight or Assorted for TOMATO JUICE Sunkist No Straight or 3 Brooklawn CHEESE 4 Assorted ASPARAGUS— Woods Cross No FOODS Heinz or Gerber’s 10c MANKIND DOG FOOD BABY 95 bag for J? 2s CRAB MEAT 3 Diamond RED ALASKA SALMON: 8unk!st DOMESTIC CAVIAR reg 35c 5-- lb loaf 1 1 ot 81 MAJOR GREY CHUTNEY OLD MONK OLIVE OIL 2 Mn' 39c Corned Beef for Queen Olives 39c qt 3 1 Apple Sauce ft1 3can27c iin Prep Mustard 2 17c 2 lan 19c Pear Butter ea Stuffed Olives 21c |
