THK CASK OF JAPAN
Portland Evening Telegram:
-'hen Japan set out to take Kiau
Chow, aa conforming to lta corn
i»act with Great Britain, it vn&s quite
to be expected that suspicion would
be voiced in certain circle* in this
<ountry to the effect that Japan
v ould not release the captured ter
ritory, but would proceed to acquire
other territory and other rights in
China as part of a policy that would
»erve future Japanese need. The
*ubeequent ceurs« of Japan, judged
u'erely by surface appearances
vould seem to warrari. jf not to
confirm, that suspicion.
So far as Its relation* with China
•»re concerned, Japan Is entitled to
consideration other than that which
i>- governed merely by suspicion and
distrust. Japan is th«i actual aud
the potential factor oi progress iu
the Orient, Intelligent opinion can
have no doubt on that point, whether
■' he Pro or anti Japanese. Japan
is the transmitter of modem civili
zation to the Mongolian races; and
evidently appointed such in the
■conomy of social and politicial evo
lution. Japan is big in spirit and
• spiratiOD, and decidedly limited in
atural opportunities and resources.
As achieving anythiup like Its na
tional mission it mus. seek the op
portunity for physical expansion,
wherever it caa be foi nd.
1 wecty years ago the opportunity
ior such expansion seemed to be at
nand. China ms defeated and
Korea and ManchurU. with Port
Arthur, were taken; but when the
'ime for peace settltment came the
^reat nations of ths E.i6tern Hemis
phere, Russia, France, England and
( ermany, said to Jayan that the
■onquered territory must be relin
quished. Japan a^cepte*; the inevit
able, and some of the rowers which
•orbade to Japan the fruits of vic
tor)-. proceed to divide them
'mong themselves.
l"eu years later Japun disposses
>ed Russia of her share of the
i lunder, and after ten other years
> ermany also has been compelled to
surrender to Japan her portion of
the spoil. Conceding that Japan ha
'he same moral right ot Interna
tional adjustment and territorial ac
quisition, based upon power, that
the European governments have ex
ercised without qualm of conscience
for centuries past then the doctrine
of to-have-and-to-hold might have
heen legitimately, maintained by the
island kingdom.
It is the fact, however, that in
recognition of the apparent helpless
ness of China, tin»re has evolved an
agreement by which nations have
guaranteed to each other the freo
''O® of commercial opportunity in
tha Flowrey Kingdom. And Incident
to that there is the understanding
I hat Chines® autonomy and the ter
ritorial intergrity of tl-at nation are
to be preserved To this Japan has
i-sreed withiu the specific limita
tions that are clearly understood.
Right here is where suspicion lodges
its protest, for by Japan's recent
-ourse it appears to the outsider
that the Japaneee aie about to
repudiate this agreement by the
adoption of a policy that in course
CX time will reduce China to a Jap
anese dependency.
This suspicion is met by direct
denial from the Jaianese prime
minister. He ma'ntains that the
action and the attitude of Japan are
not understood, because the condi
4'
tions precedent and existing cannot
in their very nature, be clearly com
prehended by people so fai removed
from the theater of action as are
the people of this country. He reiter
ates that Japan's purpose is legit.
mate and its intention* honorable;
realizing, of course, that Japan is
conscious of her influence, her
power and her future reeds. He in
timates that the course adopted ia
best calculated to insure the open
door, and that such ultimately must
be the American view of the situa
tion. It Is to be noted also that
well balanced American opinion, fa
miliar with the Chiaa-Japanese
situation, seems to confirm that
statement in the niaii:.
It has been manifest that we too
easily give way to suspicion where
Japan is concerned—as, for instance
in the episode of Turtle bay. New
York dailies printed that story with
all the sensationalism that would
have been warranted if it had been
a hostile occupancy; but the sum
rjid substance of it was a Japanese
effort to salvage a Japanese warship
that had been wrecked The lesson
laught is to hold our suspicions in
check.
