TRADE WITH THE EAST.
We Hnve n I'otliwny to Asia uml Will
Mnlutulu It.
Thcte exists, practically, no limit to
thn enormous possibilities of trade with
Asia for our Western wheat-growing
Stntes. .Tnpau will be the entering
wedge. Already we uro iu touch with
.Tnpau, already we are on tho friendliest
of commercial relations with iter, rela

every year cnttunt, of course, no ilelltt
itely ascertained. The total is some
thing enormous, ltut the sudden fact
appears that already Japan is liegiu
tiliiK to eat wheat Instead of rice.
With mutual regard mid eoiuuierelnl
good-fellowship existing, and with Japan
now turning to Hour, ami with the whole
western lde of our vast empire with
tlottr to give to the rest of tlio world,
tha condition becomes most simple. For
the good of nil coucerupil, whole tintloits
considered, it Is necessary tlmt we should
put our wheat nml Hour ueross the I'm

of ntiy color, what they may require,
and, so, benelit them nml greatly benefit
otirselvps.
The fact that the Japanese army is
using the American lmrtl-tiick cracker is
t fart the tremendous couseipieuces of
which, in lis commerciitl posslhilticx, has
not yet been realized. It means that
Japan has begun trading earnestly with
tho United States in the cereal upon
the production of which so much of our
cnntniercial welfare depends, and yet this
is but a starting imiiit ns to what is
coming to the I'nlted States iu supply
ing Asia with food. Japan is our friend
mnl will undoubtedly remain so through
out the future, but Jnp.tu, wonderful us
she Is, is but the fringe nearest to us
of that great Asia, ovcrpopnlattsl nml
hungry, nml looking to this newer hemi
sphere to feisl it, under newly existing
conditions.
The conditions have been provided by
the accidental imsspssions following u
sudden war. We have made our path
way. Not to maintain that pathway,
with lt lauding ut the other side of
thu I'acilit which menus the Philippines
would be u i rime .ig.ilust the interests
of this country and a crime against the
interests of ihe Asiatic Millions.
This crime will not be committed. The

Slates of America. "Imperialism" us

We nre what we have Iss'imie, and we
promise to Mold our interests ns n world

people. Tills is the Republican program.
Hence the recent Shanghai incident.
China is mi enormous nation occupying
nu'etioriuous country, just now in ,i state
of dissolution or reconstruction no one
enn tell which. The various nations with
vnrious interests look ti'xm its territory
with longing eyes, but it does not seem
best, with the interests or all considered,
that it .should lie dlsmemliercil. It np
pears to Ih- best for the interests of nil
the other nations of the world that it
should be aided rather than divided.
This course has been decided upon by the
leading nations of the world, following
the suggestion mnl with the assistance of
the prcsPtit 1'cptihllcuu administration of
this country. This attitude is certainly
right morally, mul, In the long run. must
be right ns to material Interests, particu
larly for the people of the I'uited State.
Russia and Japan nre tit war. There
has arisen mi incident which is some
what mi unmualy in international affairs.
Warships have tied into u neutral port of
China and other warships havp pursued
them. I'lulcr the laws of nations no
battlp may occur iu a neutral jwt. such
ns that of Shanghai. The I'lilted States,
tnking the initiative, has promptly inter
vened to see that no violation of the laws
nf tuitions may occur, mnl has done this
because of the helplessness of China, vast
ns the empire is, to enforce all proper in
trrunliomil obligations iu its own har
bors. This is but In keeplir, with the tone of
wlutt the I'uited Suites uudi'f the pres

but right mul proper that we -mould take
the initiative lit seeing to it that what
was suggested utul built up by its should
be enforced. This has been done.
That Is the way the present iiilntlnis

Tli.il Is the way it will eoutlnup to do
things. The doing of this is for the
greatest good for all the commercial in

Laying aside the other cpiostions to

that any Hcuslble human being, living

anything but support what those who

This attitude is not contiucd to those

made across the greatest of all the oceans

the old nations of the Orient.
Itusine-s is business. We have taken
into our hands the management of the
Pacini: Ocean and wc nre quite capable
or retaining that management under any
circumstances. I'poti our retention of it
depends, to mi extent, our commercial
welfare. We are the great producers
of n new land a vast continent yct iu
its infancy, and our welfare must year
ly depend to a grcnt extent upon what
we export. We have ex'tortcd to Kttrope
and tint Kast uml exploited the Atlantic
almost to its utmost; now we purpose
to export ueross the Pad tie and supply
with whatever they tuny need the teem
ing millions of Hip Asiatic continent.
I'poti the realization of this great indus
trial d renin, which hits become n fact,
must largely depend, iu the future, thf
commercial welfare of the American peo
ple. Does any group of fatnists, oppos
