Please understand me when I write
an about the  Japanese, I aaa   not doing so because  I bave any   hard f*e\-
tnga against the Japanese as a people.
t simply wish to sbow that tbe Japanese government is not  what it sometimes presents itself to be.    In otber
words   misrepresentation or conosal
ment  in matters of business  and diplomacy  out  here in  the Orient do
not have tbe same condemnation that
they do  In America or  England.   In
tbe Orient it is usually  accounted to
he a greater fault  or sin when a person is   impolite   or   loses his   temper
than it is whan be does not say what
ia trne.   Tbe  matter  of   telling  tne
MTQth is   largely a  matter of  convenience, and very often  botb parties to
an   agreement  may    know  that
ether party  is°not telling
tat  It would  be very   wrong to say
that be waB'lying.    Hence  it la  tbat
tba  nations  of tbe Weat  must  take
grant Care wben tbey are dealing witb
tbe nations  ot   tbe East,  for  while
America, for instance  may say some*
thing and really  mean it, Japan may
readily agree,   while in the  long run
ber   actions may sbow  tbat she  did
aot mean what sbe bad said.
One example may make this clear.

were supposed  to be secret deal
iaam with tbe   Chinese   government
and tar n while  were kept secret by
means of a threat of military punishment should they be found out.    But
tne news was finaHy learned by some
foreign  correspondents  here in Peking nnd cabled   bome.   At first tbe
newspapers  refused   to print them,
b a e a n S e   the Japaneae absolutely
denied  them.    For a  long time tbe
Demands could not  be ascertained,
but tbe press  notices  brought snch
pabllcity to bear npon the action ot
Japan,   tbat   the   Government   waa
forced  to  make n statement of  tbe
••Demands." However the copy wbicb
tba Japanese   government gave out
tn tbe press was not tba  same aa tbe
original  demands made upon China.
Tbn altered  Demands were so mild
tbat many people wondersd wbat aU
voice  and
heard In Japan any  more tban it was
beard In   Germany, or   even   less so.
Hence it is that while there are many
splendid Japanese, well educated aud
with  Christian  ideals,  thsy   do  not
have much to say about   tbe control
of things in Japan and for that reason,
as well as   for otber   reasons, Japan
bad  been  caiied   "Tbe  Germany  of
the East".    In many ways tbe title is
a good one.   Japan has   modeled ber I
educational,    and    military   systems
after Germany and  I do not  believe
tbat Japan entered  the warns one of
tba Allies for any ot tbe blgber Ideals
wbiob  actuated   some  of  the, other
Allies. It was a matter ot convenience
and a good.cpportunity to strengthen
her  position   as   tbe   "Policeman of
tbo East."

ber of employes whose wage  increas- i
es amount to   nearly  91.400,000,000 a
year are now required   to produce a

goes and bas gone all along  the  line
