THE

Irrepressible Expansion By FREDERICK J. HASKIN

WASHINGTON. Dec. 28. The doctrine that a prolific people, living in a crowded country, must have some place to which Its Burplua population can go, i3 one which has been put for ward repeatedly by aggressive and growing nations and which has always attracted a certain amount of popular sympathy. This doctrine of irrepressible expansion was put forward by Germany before the great war, and it was sympaineueany received, especially in this country. The same claim to a need for more room is now put forward constantly by the Japanese as a reason why they should be given more land in Asia or immigration rights in America and Oceania. That this doctrine is wholly unsound seems to be agreed upon by all serious students of the matter. In fact, its unsoundness probably is generally recognized by those who put it forward, as well. Its value is simply that it is a plausible sophistry whicli alwavs has its effect upon the ignorant public. The fact with regard to population i is that it tends to increase as fast ns the food supply allows. When tho food supply no longer permits of much increase in a given country, the increase automatically stops. On tho other hand in sparsely populated regions the increase is always rapid. In other words, any people will expand indefinitely if given enough land in a suitable climate, but it is bard to see l!ed countries in Europe, and among the mostly thickly settled in the world. But we do not hear from those two nations a demand that they be given another continent or two to populate. They are not strong enough to make sucn a aemana. instead, these peDles " lave stayed within tbei- bound the saturation point. have ceased to increase. Japans Population. In point of fact, the very same phenomenon has been observed in Japan, in whose behalf the irrepressible expansion doctrine is now generally put forward. In the past 25 years Japan has expanded her territory about 70 per cent by the annexation of Korea. Formosa and Southern Saghalin. During the first 20 of these 25 years the Japanese population increased rapidly. For the past five years the increase has been vey small. In 1020 it was about one-half of one per cent. What does theis mean? Simply that the Japanese population increased as much as its increased land area justified, and then automatically ceased to increase. As a matter of fact, Japan has much land within her present boundaries which is not used. All of northern Jaj pan is thinly populated. The reason for this is that the Japanese do not like a cold climate. Japan annexed Korea under the pretext that her irresistible expansion of population made it necessary. As a matter of fact Korea already produces barely enough food for its native population. Japan has gained a powerful hold ! on Manchuria for the same alleged reason. There is land to spare in Manchuria, but the Japanese are not making much use of it. Since 1905, when Japan gained her present, position in Manchuria about 200,000 Japanese have gone there, but only about 100. 000 remained in 1920. In a word, the Japanese population has refused to ex. pand irrepressibly in that direction. The reason is again that the climate is too cold to suit the Japanese, and in addition, the fact that the Chinese and Koreans both are able to "undercut" the Japanese in labor by their lower standards of living, in exactly the same way that the Japanese ari able to undercut Americans in Cali fornia. Thus Japan's claim to an irrepressible expansion is refuted in two ways. In the first place, her population is really increasing very little. In the second place none of the territory she has seized, or obtained a hold on by concession or lease, has actually been i used to any considerable extent as an pears that the irrepressible expansion doctrine has been used with regard to these Asiatic countries as a cloak for Japan's economic imperialism that is, her desire to exploit them commercially and to strengthen her military and naval position by her control over them. Japan's claim for the right of the Japanese to emigrate to America also has been based generally on the irrepressible expansion idea. Since there is no irrepressible expansion of Japa nese population, it falls to the ground in this case, too. There is no doubt but that Japanese would come to this country in large numbers if allowed to do so, however. The climate of California suits them, in the first place, and in the second place it is easy for them to make money there by reason

of their ability to undercut the Americans in way of living. The irrepressible expansion doctrine if examined with regard to any country, seems always to be a cloak for economic imperialism for the desire to exploit some other country in ai commercial way. This, in fact, is the whole motive of the international drama, the fundamental cause of war. In all the principal countries the maker or producer of goods is paid less than what he produces is worth. The farmer who raises a bushel of wheat is not paid as much for it as the bushel is worth in trade after it leaves his hands. If seven operatives in a shoe factory between them make a pair of shoes worth seven dollars, they are paid only about four. The result is that in all of the principal manufacturing towns there is a constant tendency to pile up a. surplus of goods. Some of this is exchanged with other manufacturing countries, but manifestly most of it cannot be so disposed of. because each of these countries also has a surplus. The result is that the actual surplus of what labor produces, over what labor can buy with its wages, must be sold to some non-manufacturing country where the industrial system doees not exist, or at least is not so highly developed. Hence the fact that all nations compete fiercely for markets in China, South America, and all other 'undeveloped" countries. They must have these markets for their surplus goods. The nation that does not get its share of these markets has a surplus of goods pile up on its hands. Then production stops, there is unemployment, famine, strikes social unrest. Every war Is at bottom a struggle between the principal manufacturing nations for special rights in these surplus goods markets, and for the supplies of raw material they contain. War will stop automatically when the common man refuses to fight for these markets, which are made necessary largely by his exploitation, and when he learns how to check that exploitation by getting for his labor as much as it is worth in goods produced. SAYS SHOES WERE STOLEN; STARTS RIOT; HAS 'EM ON HAMMOND, Ind., Dec. 2. A riot was started in the Hammond police station last night by Al Roberts, registering from nowhere over a new pair of yellow brogans. When Roberts went to sleep he removed the shoes nnd used them for a pillow. During the night he awoke and found the shoes gone. He was infuriated and began to attack other prisoners accusing them of stealing his "kicks." When police had quelled the riot, and had given first aid to the injured it was found that the missing shoes were on Roberts's own feet. lie evidently had put them on while asleep.

CHILDREN'S CHORUS SHOWS POSSIBILITIES OF MUSIC IN SCHOOL (By Associated Press) BLOOMINGTON, Ind., Dec. 28. A new experiment in Indiana public school music designed to develop latent musical talent and appreciation among school children was successfully demonstrated at Indiana University during the Christmas holidays when 2,000 children from the Bloomington public schools presented a Christmas musical festival before an audience of 3,000 people. The chorus of 2,000 school children is said to have been the largest juvenile chorus ever assembled in the state. Accompanied by a combined orchestra of high school and university musicians the children, usually undependable concert performers, sang so perfectly as to attract high praise and to mark the performance as one of the major concerts of the year at Indiana University. The concert was carefully planned to demonstrate to students of the School of Music at Indiana university and to others interested in public school music how a community can bet 9 CD

awakened to an appreciation of good music through the music of its children. For weeks Bloomington school children were trained in the songs of the Christmas festival by Prof. I. C. McCauley, formerly of South Bend, su pervisor of music in the Bloomington schools and critic teacher of music at ' Indiana university Watch Experiment Along with their work in public school music under Prof. E. B. Birge, for 20 years supervisor of music in the Indianapolis schools, students at Indiana university School of Music watched the experiment with the Bloomington school children. University students not only observed the methods of training carried on by Professor McCauley but actually did practice teaching two days. each week. Singing Christmas carols on their way to and from school, at their work and at their play, Bloomington children took the town by storm with their music. Fathers, mothers, sisters, brothers and friends crowded every bit of available space in the men's gymnasium at Indiana university to hear the concert. The story of the Bloomington experiment dates back to 1919 when Prof. Barzille Winfred Merrill came to Indiana university as head of the de partment of music after sixteen years' experience as professor of music at
