TOO POOR ' IllME FIGHT '.' v.'i : - - ';'.. , .. "f'S" -V1-. - ' .-i' " I v'. ('Continued' from" Pag One.) Kngland - and the United States are Japan's bankers. The Japanese are a clever people. They realize the truth of what X have just said. There Is a limit ' to resources of that country. Japan, I believe, can see , tbe end of those re- ; sources even now. The country cannot a-i o t tha rata It la Iranlnff . vninav now. It is out of the Question, Japan : recognizes mat a conrnct wits Russia Is inevitable and the government Is straining every nerve, exhausting every Sort o put. Itself in a state of prepar edness. But the resources - of Russia are practically inimitable. Russia is anxious to avenge herself on Japan, and , as I said before, the floating of that enormous - loan was Russia's plainly - spoken notice to Japan of what tha lat ter might expect - "The-day is coming when the richest nations or uie eartn oniy wui wieia tne gowsr. . These nations are the United tates, England, Russia and France. rmany, despite the efforts or the oer- man emperor. Is dropping to tbe rear. Germany has not the wealth. These four nations will rule the sea. ' Their supremacy will be unquestioned. -That is one reason why I say that when the great conflict does come that I. . ter their iV aimed at J. at nil th 'F "But Ju Austria, Germany, France and Italy will line up against tne Japanese, witn Eng land as the ally of the latter. And what is more, England knows it. The very haste with which she is rushing . to put her navy in shape proves that she knows it Merely Local Issues. "Japan ' wants no trouble)' with the United States. Japan has bigger, things on her hands now. I look upon the -trouble on the Pacific coast as merely local issues over which two nations could not go to war if they wanted to. "Unless the Paclflo coast states pass some legislation that is specifically aimed at Japan, Japan cannot complain. As long as those states make it un lawful for all alien Asiatto races to en ter their boundaries, the act Is not Janan soeclflcally. It Is aimed the nations of the east. tust as soon as these states pass legislation that interferes with existing treaties then japan has a rignt to make a protest. But If such legislation is against the provisions of treaties, then it is not legislation at all, for no state in greater than the United States. It is simple, is It not?" "Admiral, In your opinion, is there any possibility or probability of the return of the ' battleship fleet to the Pacifio coast?" was asked. Don Meed fleet. "f think not," was the reply. "My personal opinion, which I know is shared by many other naval officers and by government omciais, is, time were is nn naml of it at nreaent. "Congress is bound to be brought up to the point wnere it win see tnat it is necessarv. to have not only a great bat tleship fleet on the Atlantic coast, but nn the Pacific coast as well. Eventually I believe there will be a fleet of (4 ships. with the "necessary trimmings crusien torpedo boats, destroyers, colliers an hospital ships on the Atlantic and on the Pacific. -These will be divided into. iuuruns, oi. u snips eacn, witn eight ships on each ceast held in reserve. Then, if necessary, these reserve ships could be made a "third squadron and with such a force there is bo power on earth that' woilld dare tackle the United States. :-. i . . "The people of the United States must be brought t to see, and through them congress must be made to realize this." continued Admiral Evans impressively. -"Unless we1-have a navy that is al ways in a state of preparedness to fight at, the drop of 'the hat, it is, better to have no navy at all." i The successful, launching' of the greatest battleship In the world the Delaware, at Newport News, today a furnished Admiral. Evans the text for this sermon; , s i- . ; - : Borne Great Ships. " "The launching of the Delaware marks an epoch in the history of the Amer ican navy," he said. -""with, the comple tion rt Vi fr.vt h - Ta lrsta frlia DaU. ware, the Florida and the Utah, the two! latter not yet in tne water, ana wnicn will be larger even than the Delaware, we, will have the first dlvisios of a fleet that Is entirely the product of home genius. This division, manned by Yan kee sailors, the best on earth, will be the greatest In the world, and congress has got to give us enough new ships to make a squadron out of this division. It will be a great . start and speed should not slacken until we have a fleet that Is the best afloat." , i , speaker stanton Solemnly warns anti-jap radicals ' (Hearst News by Longest Leased Wire.) " . Los Angeles, Feb. 8. "The Japanese situation Is acute and must be handled with kid gloves, , t. "I Jim not. trying to exaggerate or to make - alarming statements merely . to prevent legislation. This warning Is justified by facts as they exist" In a remarkable interview Speaker P. A.. Stanton today added to the startling appeal he made in the legislative! as sembly Friday. , .;'r , The statement was remarkable not alone for what he said, but chiefly for wnat ne leit unsaioy v ne racts upon which- he bases his grave warning and his plea that the from which arises people "for God's sake shall be con- ana not servatlve lgh this time.' plea attempt to force are unrevealed. No hint was given regarding the na. of the information which caused leave the speaker's chair and ture him to sav: r'We are treading on very dangerous ground and i can leei the sou supping; from under me." The warning is ithe more amazing that none of Speaker Stanton's col leagues know what inspired it ajid Gov ernor Gillett himself, though he has been in close touch not only with the state but the federal Government's re lations toward the Japanese, does not know what Mr. Stanton meant when he aid: ; , t - - '. "I not only believe, out i Know cer tain things." Information Zs Definite. "What is that information which you have withheld?" Mr. Stanton was asked by a reporter today. ... "I could not under any circumstances reveal that" he said. . The speaker arrived in this city this morning to look after.prlvate business and to emphasise through tbe press the necessity of conservatism. , "JJld this inrormation come 10 yuu from President Roosevelt or' any gov- ernmen orriciair- "I cannot divulge the source of my information." "Is It definite?" "It Is. It was Imperative, I viewed existing conditions and ' ;the status of this delicate question, that the vote whereby the assembly .passed the an ti-Japanese school billw should be re considered." . . Would Have, Brought on Crisis. "Would the passage of this bill have precipitated a crisis?" "In my opinion, it would." "Bv a crisis, do you mean war?" -"I 'am not an alarmist," he said, "but when I say that such a bill, if enacted, would precipitate a crisis, I am staling the matter conservatively and I take it that tha naonle will know what I mean. "Then you consider the situation more serious than that or two years agor' "Vrv muoh more serious." "Howaver." he added. In another vein. "I hope and believe that within the next fw davs there will be 1 develonments which will clear the atmosphere." "You mean that on Wednesday, when the' vote is reconsidered. It will tie de feated?" Ticklish Hatters to Be Ad lusted. "I -can't say whether It will be de feated or not I merely urge the neces sity for conservatism and for the peo ple who- are clamoring for anti-Japanese legislation to be patient for a few days. There are some ticklish matters to be adjusted and Jt is for tne people of this state to await their settlement without, f urth stirring up tne reeling that exists." "Will you state at the present time whether jour Information came from Washington or was secured from other quarters?" . . . "It would be impossible for me to even intimate what is the nature of the information I have or how I came by It It is argument enough, it seems to ma, that President Roosevelt has oharactrised the school bill as the very worst of all the proposed anti-Japanese legislation.- It Is the one tp which the Japanese government has roost vigor ously objected, and the strong requests that it be not passed, coming from both the president and Governor Gillett, should be given the consideration to which they are entitled by virtue of the high position of the officials and the inside knowledge they possess."
