THOSE BATTLESHIPS
AND THAT WAR
The recent appropriation for two
battleships interests too Pacific
Coast largely to that the coast won
ders ,what the 'government l going
to do with the boats after they are
built. Considerblae has been said
atout this) phase of a grave matter.
The aet, especially the New Eng
land e2t and New York with Its
Long Island, considers thct a bat
tleship built at the expense of the
west and the Pacific coast as well
as of all other sections of the Union,
la something that. Is built expressly
for New Unglcnd and New York
with Its Long Island. This is some
thing that never has been and that
' never will be precisely the sentiment
of the whole people who pay for
building battleships. The Pacific
Coast states want New England pro
tected as a matter of business. But
they want' also that the Pacific
.coast bo protected, again as a mat
ter of business. When, therefore,
New England and New York la par-'
ticular, assume the attitude which
they always have.aasumel, and wlld
ly suppose thai the United States
Interests cease at the western boun
dary line of New York state, the
Pacific coait rUes into protest. We
want some of those batlteehlps
that la the contention. We want
them for protection, Just a we want
the whole coast Hoe of a common
country protected.. And in time, jwe
will get them, or get our share of
them.
As for the war: The newspap
ers had a good deal of fun with Mr.
Hobson's war with Japan some two
years ago. Mr. Ilobaoa was toler
antly smiled at. It took the major
ity of the eoat two year to ascer
, tain that Mr. Hobsom had hit the
. nail squarely on the head, at the
i first shot from the alarm gun. And
now the country has not only Mr.
Hobson's prediction but the events
of two years to show that Mr, Hob
' son war correct In his statements.
Japan is the menace. Climbing
into the United States and swarm
ing like squirrels from Japanese
ports, the MtUe yellow man would
hold the Hawaiian Islands today, at
least on the start, If It were pos
sible for the Mikado's regime to pre
cipitate war .with the United States.
It is estimated that in the Hawaiian
Islands alone there are some 60,000
male Japanese, every mothers son of
them a trained soldier and Inured to
the hardships of war, and fully of
ficered out of their number on the
ground. Up and down the Pacific
coast, it Is estimated that there are
In the neighborhood of 100,000 Japan
ese males, all soldiers, all ready to
fight, att anxious to fight for con
quest purely for the lust of con
quest, the deep call of gain. In the
Phillipine Islands the Japanese clust
er like barnacles to a ship'si bottom
and though the government has ap
parently "discharged" a few indi
viduals from' the garrisons of that
district, the Phillipine Islands are as
lively with Japs as It la' with flies.
That Is an estimate of the altua
atlon. It Is doubtless exaggera
ted, becaues all alarmist stories are
exaggerated; but st it were found
exaggerated forty per cent, it stiil
were a grave meaace.
There is. no question about Japan's
Intentions. Profuse Oriental profes
sion of friendship is so much hog
wash. It is slush. Any American
can remember the origin of the ex
pression "Bull Con" and read reality
beneath the Japanese pretense.
This reality, as interpreted' by the
average American, means that Jap
an dTeams of letting her greedyi sou)
lurch forward Into a firmer settle
ment of Hawaii and the Pacific
coast, until she may recuperate fi
nancially, when she will be able to
strike in the dead hour of night,
seize the Pacific coast treasure be
fore New England is awake, and
secure funds for the prosecution
of a war against the United States.
It is so bold a dream that it super
ficially appears laughable; but the
Jap Is a bold dreamer, and frequent
ly so bold that he is laughable. It
Is a dream, Indeed, such as Japan
lured herself with to western Rus
sia, and with which she begam the
Russo-Japanese war.
There Is but one deterrent of this
dream's realization: A defended
coast an adequately defended coast
It Is true that Japan has no money:
and has no means of getting any
mcney, except to turn Into the same
sort of brigand she turned' Into when
she struck sleeping Russia. Her
budget la some hundred millions
more than her present income. Her
most taxable property, that of her
railroads, is just now taxed to
death. She has no Industries that
show a balance of trade In her fa
vor none, that la, to speak of.
She Is unable to float her paper
which was boomed to theskles dur
ing the war, by a subsidized Japan
ese press bureau morally supported
by England and the United States.
And she is in about the same con
dition financially that a rotten; shad
shot full of snipe shot Is la physic-
But she is not dead not by a
Jugful! Out of those slant eyes
come the real Japanese desire, if
you ,wait to see It; and the desire
Is tor riches, for conquest and pow
er, for more territory In which to
place her growing numbers and from
which to draw monies by the ship
load, necessary . to her dreamed-of
supremacy. She Is a fatalist, and
all fatalists have some very laugh
able dreams at times also some
very dangerous dreams when the
dreamer sets out to materialize
them. A defended Pacific coast
would cause the Japanese dream to
wane perciptibly, A fleet of battle
ships along the Pacific coast .would
3end a wholesome and staggering
ihiver of regret up and down the
Japanese character, and then we
"xmld smile. Just now the Japanese
are smiling.
