War is bound to get neutral nations into trouble with the belligerent* but one cannot help but feel that Japan goes out of Ha. way to cause trouble. Daily since the •tart of the trouble in China pap- era have carried accounts of viola- tions of international rights com- mitted on France, England and our country by the soldiers of the Mikado. How would an economic blockade work ? What would hap- pen If the banker nations of the world discontinued all trade with Japan? Maybe Emperor Meijl who died in 1912 wasn't so crazy after all when he left a will out- lining a program of aggression for Japan which included con- quest of China and other Asiatic countries. Japan la controlled by a military clique today which seems to have swallowed, hook, line and sinker the program laid down by Meijl. The demands of Secretary Hull have revived the \open door\ policy which waa put forth by John Hay when he was a Secretary of State. In ac- cepting this policy all the leading Rations agreed that the rights of other nations to trade and com- merce with China should be ever respected. On this condition American money went tq China and was invested there. The ouestton that might be asked is, \Are we not morally bound to protect our citiiens and their property under such a condition\; or baa Japan at' last decided to forget the \open door\ agree- ment? Maybe a show down should be called for and then we will krfow where we stand. v . • • a GREAT scientist, Louis Pas- teur, once coined an expres- sion that should be engraved over the entrance to every educational Institution.
