Talk.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 26. TIM thing
to remember about all thla nw Jap
anese war talk la that the Japanese
do not want war
and do not in
tend to have one.
Our diplomats
are convinced o!
that. They know
ill that you have
heard about Jap
anese eword rai
ning, and moie.
but they belljve
that they under
stand the Inside
rf the Japanese
fame.
Primarily, the
Japanese want to be major power
They want to be In Asia what the
U. S. is In America, only more so. They
know that the one thing they must
avoid la war. They could not defeat
either the U. S. or Britain now or
anytime soon. War with either would
set Japanese ambitions back 100 years
What they are trying to do la to
expand and build themselvea up by
tricky, threatening, aggressive diplo
macy, auch a you have witnessed
lately In the London naval conver
sation. They are going to build, aj!
right. Make no mistake about that.
They know very well that the world
la too busy with other things now
and cannot step In for any coordlu-
-ated action against them.
The only way to offset tneir tactics
!s for us to build also. In that woy
we can peaceably maintain our pro
tective superiority.
At least that is the way our peop;e
have figured It out for themselvea
You will very probably see the trend
of Pacific diplomacy follow along this
line for the next few years.
Expansion.
It la true that the Japanese have
been taking a lot of scrap Iron trim
u recently. Our exports of scrap
reached the unprecedented propor
tions of 1.275,414 gross tons during
the last nine months. Thla la two
and a half times the exports for ti!e
same period last year. And the Jap
anese took 61 per cent of this scrap
Italy and Poland took the bulk of
the remainder.
Authorities here have Investigated
quietly to find out what the Japanese
are doing with all this scrap. They
have learned that It la going into
construction of a Japanese merchant
marine. The Japanese Intend to dom
inate Pacific trade If they can. Also
these commercial vcssela may easily
be converted for war uses.
It Is also true that the Japanese
are becoming our best cotton cus
tomers. They took about 25 per cent
of our total cotton exports last year
They are taking around 35 per cent
so far thla year (although number of
bales has decreased a little.) Our
people suspect that much of this
cotton 1 going Into atorago for the
manufacture of guncotton. But they
also know that the Japanese are us
ing most of It to manufacture tex
tiles. They are underselling th.-s?
textiles against us In the world mar
kets These two things should give yo.i
the secret of the Japanese scheme.
On scrap Iron and cotton, tliclr pri
mary aim Is commercial expansion
rsther than war, as commonly up
posed. .The war angle Is only the
long range secondary objective.
Game.
For these reasons, our best author
ities are confident the Japanese will
not let the dangerous game they sre
nlavlmr cet out of hand Publication
of the amazingly unwaruxe
of ex-Premier Makoto Salto was not
a break, but a brake. Ambassador
Hlroshl Salto has been working alont
similar soft-pedaling lines here. Don't
worry about them being aasasalnaV'd
in Japan. Their activities fit per
fect!? within the Japanese diplo
matic scheme the mailed riat in a
reUt glove.
What has encouraged our offlcla'-s
m much lately Is the fact that the
British withstood the strongest Jap
anese diplomatic efforts to drive a
wedge between u at London
Alao they noted the way Baee Ruth
was received In Toklo and are talk

Associated l'ress staff Writer.
CARLISLE, Pa., Nov. 26. (AP) A
solution of the mystery surrounding
the death of three little girls whose
bodies were found along a lonely
mountain road appeared more likely
today In connection with a tragedy
at Duncansvllle, near Altoona, where
a man and a woman were found
shot to death.
Paul White, a Harrlsburg bus driver,
tentatively Identified a photograph
of the woman In the Duncansvllle
tragedy aa the woman who made a
trip on his bus from New York to
Harrlsburg last Wednesday accom
panied by three children.
Girls Remembered.
White previously said he was cer
tain the bodies of the three children
In a morgue here were those who
made the trip with the woman.
White aald the photograph looks
like her," aald Lieut. Harry I. McKI
roy, chief of detectives of Pennsyl
vania state police, in announcing the
paruai menttflcatlon.
McElroy said the bus driver left
Immediately for Altoona t'to take a
good look at the body of the woman."
Neither victim of the Duncansvllle
tragedy haa been Identified.
. Causa of Death Mystifies.
Meantime, the examination for the
cause of death of the three victims
was further complicated by a report
ox ur. ueorge R. Moffltt that he
found no traces of carbon monoxide
poisoning or asphyxiation In the
bodice of the girls.
The physician also reoorted he
found no evidence of criminal as
sault. Dr. Moffltt reported he la con
tlnulng hia analysis of specimens of
the girls' blood for traces of other
poisons. The analysis was ordered
after autopsies failed to show the
cause of death.
State police learned that coats
worn by the girls csme from a New
