PUBLIC DEBATE
ON ARMAMENTS
Japanese Ex-Minister oil
Jll st ice Arcjuos With
Professor
Tokio.?Representative Yukio Ozaki,
ex-minister of justice, who lias
como into prominence anew because
of his championing of restrict d
armaments accepted the challenge to
a public debate on armaments issued
by Professor Matsunami of the Imperial
University, who recently returned
from Manila where he delivered
a series of lectures on jurisprudence,
|
- began with a brief review
of the respective naval strengths of
the United States and of Japan and
in the course of his arguments pointed
out that, far from reducing the
margin of superiority thttt the United
States possessor over Japan, a race.
xor naval armament win only wiuen
the advantage America already possesses.
"Nothing can be more absurd, useless
and unwise than for Japan to
compete with America in armament
building," declared Mr. Ozaki. "As a
matter of fact, the more Japan striven
the more she will suffer, for internal
crises will then become severer. It
is a lucky thing that, at this time, an
American, Senator Borah, has attract-1
ed the attention of the world by his
plea for cessation in the made race (
for piling up armaments. If Japan I
takes advantage of the opportun:ty
that presents itself, then she will be
saving herself from all the ills that
will attend the i)?:-rfuing of huge armaments,
ills which are inevitable if
- the naval race is to be run.
"Great Britain has suspended naval
construction and it now onlyi
needs that America and Japan ar-j
rive at an understanding in older to
give realization to Senator Borah's |
proposition. Under these circum-,
stances, considering that America
took the lead one way, why should!
noi .Japan approacn America aim
reach an understanding-?
Dr. Matsunimi based his argument
on the contention that it
would be better for Japan to abolish
"her navy altogether if disarmament
is so essential. He asserted that'
since that United States had not
joined the League iliere is no reason
why Japan should approach the United
States on a matter which has not
been decided one way or the other by
the League.
In rebuttal Mr. O/.aki said armament
restriction as leading to the abolition
of the navy was on a par with
temperance resulting in total abstinence.
"It is to pave the way for the
end of using force he said, and added:
"In my opinion, there is not the slight
est harm in seeking an underst; tiding
with the United States on this matter
although she is not a member of
the League of Nations."
A committee of students issued a
statement declaring that whPe there
exists some friction among the
students, the general sentiment at
the university favors Mr. Ozuki's
proposal for r< striatic n of armaments.

Behind the Scenes.
"Now there's your husband coming
Mrs. Candour," said Mr. Funniman.
"Let's make a litt'e surprise for him.
.Mrs. Funniman and 1 will hide liehind
the curtains here and you can
tell him that the expected guests

(I'intcr Mr. Candour. Mrs. Candour

NO COTTON AND j
STILL A PROFIT
?
Cotton in Farmers' Hands Will
Be Worth More Than It
and the New Crop
(Manufacturers' Record)
If not a single acre was planted
in cotton this year, and if every
farmer would hold the cotton which
he now has until the effect of no
acreage was felt in the world's markets,
the south woidd receive much
more for the existing stock than it
would ror itie stock: on hand and the
new crop combined.
The whip-handle of the cotton situation
is entirely in the hands of
southern farmers, bankers and merchants.
If they will all unite to
make certain that the acreage is
drastically cut, assuring a production
of not more than 5,000.000 or
0,000.000 bales, the advance in price
would make the small crop bring
to the south vastly more th \n would
a crop of 11,000,000 to 12,000.000
bales. Every acre planted beyond
enough to produce at the maximum
0,000,000 bales is an economic waste.
It means more work, more picking,
more fertilizer. All of these things
would be saved and put to better
use.
Let the south cut its acreare to
the bone; let it raise at the oulsute,
even under the mose favorable renditions,
not over (>.000,000 baios, and
its farmers and its people as a
whole will bo infinitely better off
than if they should raise an average
crop. The time and money and
work wasted in cultivation cf a
larger crop could to far better advantage
be given to something el: o.
The south should carry out as
duicklv as possible a I ig ampaign
of municipal and highway impiovements,
because .hese improvements
f!.rc needed, because now is '.he time
;t<> do the work, and bcause in doing
it labor would be employed. Labor
employed in planting acreage for
more tban (>.000.000 bales of cotton
is an economic waste and would imj
poverish the south. Lahor employed
I in the highway and municipal work
I is economically profitable and wou'd
j enrich the south.
I ft. boheovr-s evovy banker and mer(chant
in th" south to join with the
! cotton grower:? and help to see them
j through these strenuous ti ves, n >t
lor'v ^*AV the benefit of the grower.-.
I but in order to make it possib'e for
tin4 growers to pay their indebtedness
t?> lvn!*"r.'. and merchants, and
jthus st'irt agricultural prosperity
! once more.
j This is the year which will test
whether or not the cotton ?/rowers
I of the south can really put into effect
a system of acreage reduction to
, protect themselves from destruction.
It should be reiterated over and over
again that with the stock of cotton
now on hand in the world it
would be a financial loss to .all interests
in the south to spend time
and money in producing another
crop beyond the world's actual reqtiiroments.
We have no doubt that if it were
I not for the unwise financial policy
which makes it difficult fov manufacturers
as woll as for others
to secure credit., every hale of cotton
in the south that is offered for sale
would he quickly taken by cotton
mills and other buyers and held
against higher prices. We do not
say tliat the deflation policy may
not drive cotton lower, but we have
no hesitation in saying that when
an article, such as cotton, is selling
far below the actual cost of prodacj
lion, the time will come when prison
i will react and go above the present
prices.

GIBRALTAR OF
THE BALTIC SEA
Scenc of Recent Anti-Bolshevik
Uprising Is Described in
a Bulletin
Kronstadt, famous Russian fort- 1
ress, where the revolt against bol- 1
shevism started early in March, and 1
where a committee was reported to 1
have started the "-Kronstadt govern- '
ment," but later surrendered to the {
soviet is the subject of the follow
ing bulletin issued from the Wash- '
ington. D. C., headquarters of thei"
National Geographic Society:
"What Gibraltar is to the entrance '
to the Mediterranean, and what Heli- goland
before the fortunes of war
caused its dismantling was to the
entrance to the Kiel canal, Kronstadt
has been for more than '200
years to the eastern end of the Gulf
of Finland, the northeastern arm of
the Baltic. One of the most heavily
fortified islands of the world. It was
considered the impregnable guardian |
of the mouth of the Neva and of
Petrograd ? then St. Petersburg ?
capital of tho Russian empire.
"Kronstadt may mean either the
group of mighty forts or the town,
with a population of (55,000 before
the war, which lies behind them. But
the town for nearly half a century
has been of little importance aside
from that while it attained directly
from the presence of the forts, the!
barracks, and the naval base.
"Kotlin, the island on which Kronstadt
is situated, lies about 16 miles
west of Petrograd with no land intervening.
About 12 or 15 miles I
from the city tho north and south
shores of the Gulf of Finland approach
each other most closely, being
less than 10 miles apart. Within!
these points the waters of the Gulf,
of Finland are called Neva bay. j
Marking the outer extremity of the j
bay in the middle rise the guns of
Kronstadt.
"Some of the forts are built on
the tip of the island nearest Petrograd.
while others, built on piles,
flank them. On the closest point
of the north mainland are the batteries
of 1 isi Nos. Six or seven !
miles north of I .-isi Nos is the eastern
border of Finland, and just short
of it are the other powerful batteries.
These are known both by the
Swedish name Syster.bak, and the
Uussi.-n name, Scstroryet/k. Closer)
: k\ 1 1.1 j i\ i t> t; i/t, i y: viim i. n i v..?
away on tho south mainland, is the
town of Oranienbaum, whore there
are more guns and in additions barracks.
"This chain of forts hems Potro^rad
in and protects it on tho sea
side. Tint it is obvious that they
can with e<|Ual ease ho used against
j the city or against each other, if
they fall into opposing hands.
"Neva bay is very shallow, and in
the early years of the existence of St.
Petersburg Kronstadt was its port.
The cargoes were transported to and
from the island in light draft boats.
In 18SS a deep canal or narrow
channel was completed, extending]
through the bay from one of the
mouths of the Neva river to the
roads of Kronstadt. This made it
possible for most of the ships trading
with Petrograd to go directly to
wharves in the city. Since the completion
of the canal the commercial
importance of Kronstadt has not
been great.
"Though Peter the Great, creator
of St. Petersburg, founded Kronstadt
to protcct that city of his dreams,
and though the czars that came after
him added to its strength with
ilie same end in view, the fortress
has been the scene before this of
movements against the city and the
government. During the unrest in
Uussia in 1005 an;l 190(i, which was
.ea'Iy .the forerunner ol the jevoiu j
lion that finally dethroned the czar
cidents was the rising of the garrison
of Kronstadt in August, 1*)06.
I'he notorious secret police were
aware of the plot, and the mutineers
*ound themselves without arms facing
loyal troops brought from a distance
the day before the uprising,
rhe unarmed rioters were shot down
l>y the hundreds in the courtyards of
.heir barracks."
JAPS DO" MORE
THAN GERMANS
Germans Did Little for the Natives
Whereas the Japs
treat Them Well
"The activities of the Japanese,
since in 1914 they took over the Mar
shall islands in the central Pacific on
behalf of the allies, has been in striking
contrast to the methods of the
Germans, " says a bulletin issued by
the National Geographic society in re
?ard to an archipelago halfway between
the Hawaiian group and the
famous island of Yap.
"Practical psychology, stimulation
:>f trade with the new foster-mother j
country, pedagogy, primitive love of
display, fashions, and moving pictures
have all been employed as force.-* j
with which to make over as qu'cklv |
as possible the manners, customs, and
thoughts of the people.
"Germany made little concession t'>
r.ative habits and peculiarities. The
effort wjip rather to stick to rigid
German methods worked out theoretically
in Berlin. j

ber. German was the official Nn"Under
Japanese control the* government
has established public!
schools in which special emphasis is
placcd on industrial and vocational 1
education. The teaching of German i
has been prohibited and all efforts
are being made to - replace it with
Japanese which now is taught in the
schools. Direct steamer lines were
established from Japan soon after occupation
of the islands and intelligent
Japanese traders who had
studied the needs and desires of the
natives are traversing all the atolls.
"Marshall islands' youths are being
dressed in uniforms and taught military
exercises in the schools. Japanese
methods of hair-dressing have
been introduced for the women, and*
gay colored kimonas are taking the
place of the former apparel.
"A master stroke of the Japanese
was the rounding up of the kings and
queens, chiefs and chief women of
the islands and their transportation
to Japan as the guests of tne imperial
government. They were surround
ed by the greatest comfort and all
paintf were taken that they should see
all things that would impress them
with the prosperity, advancement and
might of their new masters. Particularly
they were shown the court,
the naval establishment, the great
cities, and the most important indus- ,
trial plants.
"Motion picture operators trailed I
this de luxe expedition of dusky no- j
tables and took their pictures with
the life of Japan as a background.
Copies of the films have been showi
by Japanese agents a'l over the Marshalls
and other arclvpelagoes. The
junketing nobles were deeply impressed
and on their return home
I spread stories of the powerful empire
they had visited. Pictures backed up
[what they told, no that the trip served
to impress the whole joopulatic n.
"The Japanese have built hospitals
'and are sending traveling doctors and
dentists about among the islands.
They also arc teaching sanitation in
the schools. Japanese officials early
adopted regulations requiring the native
chiefs to bo responsible for the
planting of a certain number of cocoanut
trees each year. The .is'and*.
which were of little value under German
control are fast becoming of com
mericial importance.
"The Marshall islands are in one of
the least traversed portions of the
Pacific, south of the routes from the
United States to Japan, China, and
the PhiUipines, and north of the
route to Australia via the Fijis. A
straight line from San Francisco
through the northernmost island of
the Hawaiian group, if extended for
an equal distance, would strike the
