Switzerland, as well as Fiance is

STRIKES FROM
BREAKING OUT
LONDON, April 8. — There are
now fewer strikes in Great Britain
than at any period since the war be
gan, says an ollicial report to Parlia
ment on the labor situation. The re
pot t says in pail:
“The soundness of the labor situa
tion in this country is really remark
able, considering the large issues in
volved and the millions of men aflcct
ed. After three ami a half years of
war the great body of laboring men
are still working with a steady devo
tion never known before in this coun
try.”
Winston Churchill, in a statement
supplementing this report, said that
the labor situation was so good that
the Secret Service Department in the
Ministry of Munitions had been abol
ished and the Ministry now has no
secret agents of any kind. "The w ide
spread and unswerving loyalty r.nd
resolution with which the production
of munitions is being maintained is
shown by the fact that time lost in
all branches of our work dunng the
past six months has boon less than
one-fourth of one per cent,” he added.

JAPANESE ARE
LISTLESS-HOT
TIRADE GiVEN
TOKIO, April 3. — Much attentior
is being paid by the press to changed
conditions in America. The Kokumin
today publishes a long interview with
Marquis Okuma, the late Prime Min
ister and head of the Liberal Party,
under the title, ‘‘A Wide-Awake Na
tion and a Sleepy Nation."
In brief, Marquis Okuma observes
that foreign and domestic policies of
the United States since she joined the
war show that the whole strength of
the country is directed towards unify
ing the nation and making it strong
er after the w*ar. In conclusion he
turned his attention toward Japan
where he finds the people are listless
and like fishermen sleepily sitting on
the river bank and waiting for som
thing to bite instead of being alert to
meet the needs and opportunities of
the country after the war.

SAME SPIRIT
IN JAPAN AS
WITH ALLIES
TOKIO, April 8. — The Yomiuri,
which at least stands near to the con
fidence of the government, protests
against the action of members of the
Japanese Diet who have questioned
! whether Japan's aims in the war are
the same as those of the other Enten
te Powers. The Yomiuri states that
the war aims of Japan are identical
with those of the other Entente Pow
ers, namely, the recovery of Alsace
Lorraine, the independence of Bel
gium, the independence of Poland, and
the restoration of Serbia, Montenegro
etc. To attain these objects, the
paper says, Geimany must be defeat
ed in the war. The paper continues:
“Some may say that Japan’s part is
the maintenance of the peace of the
Far T,’ast. But is that to be done
simply by the eliniinat :on of Get man
power Ciom Tsing-tau and the South
Seas? To work together for the
i crushing of German power is the
groat aim of the European Ententes
and America, and it is also that of
.Japan, if she wishes to maintain the
4»eace of the Far East."
