Show H TOGO ON PEACE. H " i H There is rich humor in some of Admiral Togo's speeches. In M New York, the Japanese admiral addressed a convention as the cx- M ponent of peace, saying he believed in the quiet life and in amity M among nations. s The old war hero might have elaborated by saying that wher- H ever in the Far East he found a nation disposed to upset the ordcr- H ly arrangement, he proceeded to administer chastisement such as a H father extends to a young son who tries to start a rebellion in the H Togo is an advocate of peace, but he is disposed to dictate the V( terms of peace; he is even committed to the policy, in extreme H cases, of creating a wildncss and calling that peace. H, The peace which the fourteen-inch gun can command meets H ' Togo's idea of the modern demand for international good will. |
