Sir John Simon, of Great Britain’s minister of foreign affairs, refused to back up the United States. Result the United States declined to go it alone and. Japan moved in _ to stay. We will not say, of course, that the United States should constitute itself the guadian of Asiatic countries against Japanese aggression, but we should protect our own future in the Pacific. The time to do that was way back when Japan overran Manchuria. It may be said that now it is bet-ter late than never to take a stand and perhaps that is what Secretary Cordell Hull thinks. Perhaps he finds that public sentiment now backs him up. With a world at war and each nation looking exclusively to its own interest, with Great Britain unable to play a deterrent role in the Orient, possibly the time is ripe for the United States to protect its interest in the Pacific by putting Japan through the wringer first of: an embargo on strategic exports and later, perhaps, by naval blockade, if that does no suffice. military, political and economic, among ‘Germany, Italy and Japan, just announced from Berlin is not very frightening. The aid Germany, Italy can give Japan in event of a clash with the United States is not worth mentioning. The aid Japan would give its two European allies’ in event this country entered the war on Britain’s side, would be nil, because the Japanese would not dream of keeping its promise. If our navy left the Pacific, how‘Japan would undoubtedly march southward to the Dutch East Indies and possibly attempt to seize the Philippines. The alliance, So far as the logic of our position on. Asiatic aggression is concerned, there is none. When Japan invaded Manchuria, we were certainly strong enough to call a halt. We feel certain no war would haveresulted on a straightforward demand on Japan to halt. ill feeling? Plenty of it, but no war and no further attempts at expansion. We protested and let it go at that. Another protest came with Japan’s invasion of China. The Japanese never even hesitated. And now Indo-China, another protest along with it an embargo on all scrap iron. (Why not oil?) These things put the little brown men in a peevish temper ‘but they just keep rolling along. These protests, wrist slapping embargoes, and diplomatic conversations are not even half measures. They keep the record straight, as sometimes obour foreign office serves, butwe are not proud of the record. If the people of this country will not back up a strong policy in foreign relations which protects our legitimate trade interests, we have woefully overestimated the American character. We have pussyfooted and tuttutted our way now to an impasse. Either Japan continues its bloody conquests, or our state department draws a line and says: ‘‘No further.”’ We have no faith whatever in aid given this country or that “short o war.”’ Aid given may turn out to be “short of war.’’ But no aid should be given any belligerent unless we are ready to fight, because the adversary we are hoping to defeat by this aid, if victorious, will challenge use anyhow. We recall once more Theodore Roosevelt’s advice, “‘speak softly, and carry a big stick.”’ Toward Europe the White House has been flourishing a fly swatter and making stentorian noises. Only at this moment are we beginning to whittle out the’ big stick for use in the Atlantic. as Japan -is So far concerned, however, we have always carried a big stick. A blockade of. the Japanese islands, with the navy based on the Aleutian Islands, Cavite and Singapore, we believe would soon bring those Asiatic buckaroos up very short. We have learn— ed that postponing the evil hour does not prevent it eventually overtaking us. England postponed it and England is now _ overtaken. — Bob Moscatelli,) Washington mining man, was_a visitor in this city during the weekend.
