\Vh> Japan Should Speak Out.
Several reasons have been unoffit
iallx or pnasi-officiallx assigned by
Japan for its failure to make a-defin
ite promise to return tho province of
Shantung t*» Uhina within a reason
able specified time. Japan says, for
example, that Germany's title or
leasehold instruments have yet to
delix*er* d to the Japanese government,
and in the absence of these it is im
possible for the Tokyo foreign office
to do anything toxva d reassuring
Uhina and the nations unselfishly in
terested in the maintenance of the in
tegrity and sovereignity of that na
tion. This excuse will not stand scru
tiny. although it is tin* latest and best
that Janan has offered.
Japan i- thoroughly aware of tho
disfust xx-ith which the diplomacy of
the Tokyo foreign office is regarded
everywhere The denunciation of the
Shantung af,’:r> in the United Statt s
is far from :*< :ng an isolated phenom
enon. It cannot easonably he attribut
ed to a desire to foment sectional op
position to tho peace treaty or the
covenant/

the Chinese delegates in Paris haw
made a favorable impression am, ihvt
their arguments have been elfective
and conclusive.
In China, writes Prof. John Dewey
in tlie Ni Republic, there is a univer
sal belief that “Japan has one mode
of diplomacy for the east and aiiothc *
for the west, and that what D said in
the west must he taken in a reverse
sense in the east.” Recent Japane: *
statements about Shantung are inter
preted in China as announcement:*«
that “Japan has about complete!I i <
plans foi the absorption of China at l
that the lucubrations preliminary •
the operation of swallowing are about
to begin.” China knows that some of
it" ministers and governors are in con
stant receipt of Japanese bribes, and
that corrupt deals have been among
the means whereby important conces
sions have been wrung from Dewey,
China has no faith in Japanese prom
ises or in tin* ability of a league of
nations to undo any wrong done or
• on’emplate.! by Japan at its expense.
A cry of helplessness is going up
all over China, ays Prof. Dewey, and
the attitude of the Japanese press to
ward America and President Wilson
is pointed to as evidence of Japanese
hostility to American ideals and to
the principles on which the league of
nations presumably is to Ik* founded

TO ALASKA
Word has be«*n received in Juneau
that the steamship companies operat
ing boats on the Alaska route will
soon announce another raise of ap
proximately 20 per cent in passenger
and freight rates.
The increased cost of doing busi
ness is said to make the move neces
sary in order to provide returns on
the money invested in the business.
While no definite date is given as
to when the advance is to bo ex

mont” tho Juneau hmpire says:
“'Phe announcement that wo are to
have another advance in freight and
passenger rates to Alaska - 20 per
cent this time is very disappointing
to say the least. It is paiticularly dis
agreeable, coming as it does at a time
when the whole country is engaging
in a campaign to reduce the cost of
living. We sec tho American Feder
ation of Labor calling o'T strikes, di
recting men to return to work at for
mer wages, putting the ban on further
strikes and urging workmen to do all
within their power to increase the
product of the country.
“With labor leaders throughout the
country* exhibiting a patriotic dispo
sition to co-operate in a tremendous
effort to restore stable conditions, ;t
does not look well for capital to bo
! increasing rates and profits at this
time. That is not co-operating with
the people.
“Conditions in Alaska do not justify
this sort of treatment. ’Phis territory
was hard hit by tho war. nnd'hcr larg
est industry, fishing has had tin*
worst season it has experienced in
many years. Husiness and industry
in Alaska has been charged more than
the* traffic could hear without danger
of breaking down. The great strug
gle in Alaska for tw*o years has not
been to make money. It has been to
save our business institutions and in
dustries and to keep tin* wheels turn
ing until normal conditions may be
restored.. This additional burden will
make that task more difficult.”
Phe Alaska Territorial Shipping
Hoard will oppose further increase
in the freight and passenger rates on
Alaska routes. It will fight the re
quest for a 20 per cent additional |
rate at this time. It will take this |
stand pending the collation of data j
upon which to base further action.
The Alaska Territorial Shipping i
Hoard is investigating the facts with
reference to Alaska transportation,
and until its work is completed it will
not attempt to arrive at a decision as
to :ts course of action to meet the sit
uation in the north. It is expected that
it will complete its work before the
end of the present year.
