REAL STATESMEN NEEDED
Trie clang of the hammers in American shipyards is about
to sound at a louder, faster pitch than we have heard in
years. Across the Pacific in the shipyards of Japan an
equally accelerated clanging is about to begin; and unless
all signs fail these two nations will presently be embarked
upon a naval building race of the traditional type, in spite
of treaties, gentlemen's agreements or any other forms of
restraint
It is very easy for an American to deplore this trend. No
one who remembers the out-come of the world's last great
naval building race between England and Germany
can be blamed for dreading the advent of a new one. But
it is not nearly so easy to say just how this race is to be
avoided.
Your pacifist, of couree, will remark that the way to avoid
a race of this kind is to build no more warships under any
circumstances ; to let the other chap lay down as many keels
as he chooses and to pare your own establishment down year
after year, secure in the knowledge that you yourself aren't
going to war no matter what happens.
But it isn't likely that many Americans will endorse this
plan. The world is still a perilously disturbed and suspicion
racked planet; international policies still have a way of col
liding head-on, in spite of all we can do to prevent it; and
while war may be a most costly and wasteful way of settling
disputes, the world does not yet seem to have reached the
point at wliich it can assure itself that war will be no more.
In short, America has very solid reasons for maintaining a
strong navy, and a government which failed to do so could
properly be called short-sighted. And the same thing doubt
less can be said of the Japanese. Which leaves us, perhaps,
light where we started except that it all underlines the
heavy responsibility which rests on the shoulders of the
statesmen of the two nations.
There are, after all, more reasons for the United States
and Japan to be friendly than there are for them to be
enemies.
This country is Japan's l)est customer; Japan, in turn, buys
heavily from the United States, and the development of
Japan's Asiatic conquests should logically open still larger
markets to American manufacturers.
As both nations prepare for trouble, it should Ik? possible
for their statesmen to work out a way whereby they could
continue to live in peace. Self-interest on both sides of the
Pacific dictates such a course.

rules to relieve congestion, require
triplicate, receipts for certain ship
ments, prescribe class distinguishing

contract carrier applicants, and to
require copies of contracts on de
