Japan More Interested In Industry Than Armaments Tokio Not Looking for War Because She Cannot Afford It —United States Not Feared.

Note: Recent disorders In China, tne cruise of the. American fleet in the Pacific, construction, *if a big British naval base at S’ngapor* and strained relations be- ween Russia and Japan in Manchuria, have caused considerable speculation throughout the world as to a possible return to power of the militarists in Uanan The following: article describes the anti-militaristic views of some influential Japanese who on the contrary gn so far as to recommend entire abolition of armaments. By Miles W. Vaughn United Prens Staff Corrrunondent TOKIO, Aug. 28. —Modern Japan is not looking for war for the simple reason that she cannot afford it. Th’'3 viewpoint has been expressed to the United Press a score of times in the last few weeks by leaders of all classes in the Empire and is borne out by impartial observation.

The militarist has given way to the industrialist. Popular interest has veered from battleships to electrification of industry, and from •standing armies to a program for development of the northern island of Hokkaido. So marked is this tendency that one powerful industrialist has gone so far as to advocate practically an entire abolition of armaments. He is Tsuneta Yano, president of the Mutual Insurance Company of Japan and recognized as a far seeing business man and a keen student of international politics. Arms Question Economic Japan, Yano asserts in a statement

to the Talyo, must look upon the armament question as purely economic. He is convinced that the millions of yen now poured into the coffers of the Army and Navy would yield better returns to the nation if expended in peaceful industrial expansion. Speaking ffiom an economic standpoint, Yano writes, "I think it would be desirable to abolish land and marine armaments except such units as are requisite for protection of our vested interests in Manchuria pending re-establishment of a strong government in China; and for the policing of Korea." Four Poinls for Peace In support of his contention Yano makes these points: 1. Japan is not menaced with aggression in any quarter and cannot afford to keep up a huge military establishment for which she has little use. 2. The era of Japanese expansion through military operations and annexation if definitely past!. 3. By reducing her armanent to a

minimum Japan will overcome suspicion directed at her in many countries, notably England and the United States, and will change public opinion in these countries until such discriminatory legslation as the American exclusion act will be impossible. 4. Elimination of great armanent expenditures would place the Nation In a financial position which would enable her to become one of the foremost economic powers of the world. Japan has nothing to fear from the United States, Yano believes, despite the fact America is one of the "foremost imperialistic powers of the world. To cope with American imperialism is American pacifism, "which is just as powerful," he asserts. • There may be American enemies of but there are just as many American friends.” HAS SAVED 150 LIVES LONDON —Albert Greene, boatman on the Serpentine River for thirty-five years, has saved 150 persons from drowning.

FILING CASES FILL BUILDING Almost dally the capacious and erstwhile artistic corridors of thfc Statehouse are being filled with the files and other paraphernalia of the I many growing departments now housed in the great building. The latest addition, and the one against which the most complaint Is being directed, is a gigantic steel filing case for old newspapers possessed by the State library. The file case, which is locataed on the third floor of the building, occupies the entire distance between the stairway and the railing overlooking the balcony and obscures a view of the walls on one side of the building. Hardly a spare comer of the building is open at the present time, every available portion of space having been utilized by book cases, files and tabulating machines.
