THE HOUSING OREGOXIAX, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 25, 1905. PURPOSE OF JAPAN One of Her Diplomats Defines Policy of Empire. NO DESIGN ON PHILIPPINES Such Policy Ajralnst Japan's Inter ests Does Xot 'Claim Exclusive Influence Over China I m .migration Will Decline. CLEVELAND. Oct SI. EM HJokl, first secretary of 'the J&panese Legation at Washington, delivered an address to the members of the Cleveland Chamber of Commerce this evening, bte subject being "Japan, America and the Orient." In view of the fact that Mr. Hlokl's address was practically the first official utterance trom a Japanese source concerning the situation in, the Far East since the close of the war. It was considered significant, and attracted much attention. Mr. Hioki said, in part: Seeing that certain questions are receiv ing more or leas attention of the thinking class of people in this and other countries, it may not be without value to express at tliis opportunity my humble views on them. One the yellow peril: In spite of the influence which nnc- it gained, the doc trine of the yellow eril awms to have practically lost its hold on men's minds, at least In America. Would Tiol Fight Beat Friend. Two Japan has no designs on the Phil ippines: If a bona fide statement of re sponsible partie tails to convince, let us try a brief argument. Laying aitfde en tirely for the moment, for the sake of argument, the consideration of the motive ot Japan regarding tne present subject, let me ask you a question. Can you be 11 eve that this great American people, who glory in their National .spirit, in their gigantic strength. In their boundless wealth, in their marvelous development, and who look forth with proud ami con lident anticipation to the lime when they shall be the first in the race civilization has set for man to run, would allow her Hag to be lowered, be it in the Philip pines or any other place which legitimate ly belongs to her by any hands but hers? No. most emphatically, no. That is the spirit with which you cling to your new x)ssessions in the Pacific, and that ought t'i be more the .spirit of the Americans than the Japanese. Therefore, if Japan harbored such a. sin ister design as is attributed to her. .he must be prepared to plunge in a war far more gigantic than the one Just end d, against a nation to which she owes much of what site is -today, and to whose people she owes that moral and financial support so unreservedly given at the most critical period In her history- No. The Philippines are not worth the sacrifice of such a valuable friendship as that of America, and the enormous losses in men and money which such a war would nec essarily entail. Japan's Influence in China. Three The open-door policy In China: The increased prestige of Japan turned the eyes of the world toward the problem of what Influence Japan will wield over China. Without questioning the value of the principles contained in the so-called Monroe Doctrine or Its applicability to the Western situation at present, I can simply say that such an idea lias not en tered into Jauaness minds. Four Japanese influences in China ben eficial to the whole world: It is a mat ter for congratulation for Japan as well s for all other nations that there is a fair prosHct of the increase of Japanese influence in China as a result of her In creased prestige. Five Industrial and commercial devel opment of Japan: The last war with Russia has Increased the national debt of Japan to the amount of 0.OO9.OOO. whose interest alone requires nearly JSO.OW.OOO annually. It is. indeed: a heavy, an enor mous burden, and every dollar of It. in terest and principal, must be paid. Immigration Will Increase. Sixth Japanese immigration into the T'nited States: It is se ri frequently print ed in newspapers that, when the war with Russia is over and the army of 700.090 men in Manchuria is disbanded, the Pa cific Coast will be flooded with Japanese immigrants. Such a statement cannot be regarded as an expression of a serious opinion, because, uules that enormous army o.f Japanese had at once descended from the sea just for the purpose of war. there can be no reason why its disband ment should cause any increase of Immi gration to the United Suites, or anvwhere else. There Is every reason to believe that Japane.se Immigration to the United State will considerably decrease. Seven The future of the Orient: The Orient, with more than half the popu lation and more than one-third of the land of the entire world, and commerce amounting to onlv $X.0.09.0&0 annuallv. that Is. only a little over one-seventh of the total trade of the world, offers al most unlimited fields for future develop ment. MONROE DOCTRINE IX ORIENT Von Sternberg's Opinion or Anglo Japancsc Alliance. BERLIN. Oct. 24. Baron Speck von Sternberg left Monday on board the Kaiser Wilhelm II for his post in Wash ington. Before leaving he stoutly denied the condition of his health was such as to prevent his returning to his duties. It bring much the same as usual. He paid a long visit Sunday night to the Hofta Sanitarium to take leave of his wife, who is remaining In that institution until fully recovered from a recent opera tion, after which site will Join her hus band. Baron von Sternberg is the author of a very striking definition of the situation reated in the Far East, Jn conversation with a friend, he aaid: j ruswus umer powers. ie Anglo Japanese treaty means that these coun tries have established a Monroe doctrine in the Far East." He expressed himsolf hopoful that a tariff war between America and Germany wiuid be avoided. . BREMEN. Oct. 24.

HALF-PRICE Correct Smart Shoes for Dressy Men and Stylish Women The "Boote Shoppe" 1st Floor, 6th-St. Annex. Two things are absolutely requisite in the dress of men who care for that personal appearance which means so much to success in life. No matter how carefully the tailor has looked to the clothescraft -of the garments that help to constitute a man's wardrobe, if the hatter ami the shoemaker have not been called in, then the effect is spoiled. A hat oft times covers a multitude of sins of omission and commission in the male garb that a perfect-fitting pair ol smart shoes helps to ex cuse. It costs no more to dress the feet correctly and comfort ably than it does to make them look gawkish and feel uncom fortable and really ill. But you must come to the store that knows how. This store is in the shoe business with all its might ; is better equipped in every way than ay other AVestcm store to do shoe business as it should be done.
