THEy BOTH WIN.
rllE exclusion of the Japanese lnnitiliiml, from the provisions of
the Four-Power pact, is a political victory for the United States,
but a real victory for Jnpnn.
It is a political victory, because the opposition to the treaty in the
senate, centered around the inclusion of Japan proper, and with its
exclusion, this opposition will disintegrate.
It is a real victory for Japan, because by accepting exclusion of
the mainland, she is granted the right of including the Honin Islands
in the mainland, which undoubtedly involves the right to fortify
these islands to auy limit desired. .
The situation merely illustrates again, the folly of bringing do
mestic polities into international statesmanship. Hut for Borah and
his followers threatening to tako the stump if Japan were included,
this concession to Japan regarding the Benin Islands could have beeu
avoided.
And the inclusion of Japan was merely a talkiug point. It had no
reality in fact. If Japan proper should be attacked in the future, tho
parties to the four power pact, will meet to consider the sttuatiou,
end will be as morally bound to prevent war, as if tho Japanese
mainland had never been excluded.
But as long as politicians continue to place personal advantage
and pride of opinion above the larger questions, of national welfare
end international accord, these compromises and concessions must be
made..
Practical statesmanship can't ignore the political hazard. In the
world as it is today, idealism must yield to expediency if disaster is
to be avoided and constructive results attained.
