Mr. Ueh nra attempts to explode the theory that Japan must acquire territory in order to develop herself from an In- duatrlal standpoint. Instead, he pro pose industrial cooperation with the United States. I "I have no doubt," he writes, "that I the conclusion of peace will find the' United States In a position to lead, the world In, the matter of thought as well a In economics. It would therefore be the height of unwisdom for Japan to shape her future policy otherwise than In accordance with1 the policy of the United States.

Europe to going to call for. all our surplus raw materials and our own plans will require no small amounts according to this authority. Fur ther this review states: "Lower prices may come, not all of them at once, by the way and may delay but sho t' 1 not rsdcaily Inter fere with the processes of proper re flinatment. While war inflation may have been responsible for some ot the present high prices, the lat ter in the last analysis merely spells scarcity, which it should be our work to remove, and in removing make business friends who will stick and customers who will come again. No headlong break in domestic prices seems probable with the purchasing power of our people so high; supply and demand conditions what they are; stocks of goods outside ot gov ernment hands not, burdensome; those in government control large perhaps, but promising to be liqui dated conservatively; iredit condi tions, as reflected In failure ro..nd; the farms of the country uch irises if vpiilth. and the outside world's needs so great It really seems cer tain that the people and the country that have done so much in the past tour years will not falter now that peace has come and 'business as us ual is again to be the watchword. "While a certain amount of the buoyancy with which the victory of the allies was greeted has disappear ed, and readjustments from a war to a peace basis in Industry have made for a good deal of uncertainty, due mainly to the question of the future of prices and the disposition of un seeded war supplies, there seems to be no good reason for taking counsel of our fears as to what Is to happen after peace terms are signed. Much weighty talk of problems to be solved appears In the papers, but unless all past experience Is at fault, most of the problems arising are very sim ilar to those encountered In other periods of readjustment following - widespread hostilities, if the re sult had been different and Ger many had won, there might have been good reasons for a rast deal of worry. But dvilixatlon has Won.

The United States having suffered the least ot all the belligerents should be In a position to supply these demands. "Fears ot unemployment ot the masses should be considered with the known fact In view that Immi gration, which should have given us 5,000,000 persons In the past four years, has been almost at a stand still. Furthermore, we are not euro that our whole army Is coming home much before a Tear from now. War taxes are a source ot apprehension but these too should be looked at In the light ot the fact that taxation In this country has not assumed the all- prevading character Imparted to it In Europe by centuries ot custom and precedent. Unless most signs tail, the possibilities ot future state con trol. Interference or regulation are not so great as seemed certain when we were In the full stress of war."
