Almost everything that has been written in English language about Japan since the War began has been unreservedly Eulogi Stic of the japanese. There Are beginning to signs of a desire for. More exact jus Tice and greater impartiality than seems possible in the present War per Iod that the sympathy of Lish speaking world with Japan is based in right and Justice is not to be doubted. The desire for trim mfg of Japan in the present struggle is unquestionably a desire in the interests of the Advance of human Progress and Chere is nothing inconsistent with this desire in the desire for the. Whole truth and undistorted concerning the japanese. London times recently devoted a special article to that moral Ideal.

Price and All the other matters with same comparative statistics of immigration into the United states and into this country which show the thousands who come to shores the United states to make Neh Home under the stars and stripes seek the great cities while the immense bulk of Tho Anada take up land on the Prairies All of the american in writes or. Knappen find Homes in the cities spacious farms of the West. As a portion of the British immigration lodges in Eastern Canada american invasion looms relatively larger in the West than it is com pared with the whole human influx into Canada. Why do these Ameri cans the very Cream of the farming population of the wealthy american West seek Homes in a foreign coun try briefly the answer is to be found in the lure of free cheap lands in Western Canada and the inducement to turn the old farm into rash at High prices. Farms m Iowa and Illinois Are Worth Iive to Ono Hundred and Twenty five dollars an acre. Farms in Western Canada that in their Virgin stat larger crops May be had for the taking or for from five dollars to fifteen dollars an acre. These lands turn also the _ Ameri can tenant Farmer and the hired Man. Tie free lands in the part of the Republic s West Are eone. Popu lation has crowded up to the one Hun tired and first Meridian the general Western limit of the humid Belt. Beyond lies the cattle country and irrigation. The american Farmer with s family of growing boys around Hirr sees no Way to keep the family to Gether but to emigrate to the last free land country on the continent Western last West so he Sells moves West an settles his sons Aroundhim together May Homestead and pure hits several thousand acres. They will up this cheap land into wheat blowing with Tryc Cimon engines that Druyf simultaneously nine furrows through the primeval Sod. They May reason ably count on Twenty bushels to the acre which is less than the Manitoba average for More than Twenty year. In years of High prices there is afro tune in a single crop. Good Farmers sometimes get forty and fifty Bush Els of wheat to the acre. Think what such yields mean in these Days of Dol Lar heat the situation is taken advantage by the candian government with the Best immigration Bureau in the. World which has fourteen agencies in the principal cities of the West work ing ceaselessly to set the american Farmer to Cross the line and take a look by the Canadian railways and by the great land companies the larg est which Are controlled and Man aged by americans. One of these companies has Twenty five Hundred agents in the United states. Be tween Public and private Effort the american West is flooded with per Tias Lve literature describing the attractions of Western Canada Tho warmth of Tho Welcome americans american capital receive in West Ern Canada tends to keep the Ball j in conclusion or. Knappen takes the View that the immense Advance in the wheat production of this country is not Likely seriously to disturb the world s markets. The United states will gradually cease exporting wheat and Canada will As gradually nil sap. The Prospect is therefore that Canada need have no fear of reducing us income per Bushel on j account of its increasing contribution to the number of bushels. If this Prospect is immigration into Western Canada especially from the i states will be so greatly j that within half a Genera j Tiou the Canadian West will be As Well j populated As Minnesota and the Dako tas Are to Day. It will then have Usoro than three million people and j will be so powerful in the Dominion by reason its population and. . Will Rule Canada. Eventually All the great questions concerning the future relation of. The i United states and Canada will be settled so far a.

As a system of National bin s it is admirable since it remotes discipline and. Union sinks he individual in the state and affords 10 room or no apparent room for Sec arianism or dissent. It has no forms and no ritual and is Broad based on ital forces and eternal truths. The times writer said later on supplies the moral forces in Japan we see to Day in but Man in Bradford eng., who had had dealings with the modern japanese at once wrote to the times saying having read with great interest the article by your military correspondent the soul of a in your Issue of the 4th inst. I think it would be inter Esting to How a nation possess ing such a lofty code of morals As Ossido adopts a different Standard in to commercial relations with euro Pean houses. Any merchant trading Tarth the far East will Tell that a Hilst a bargain made with a China Man is absolutely to be related upon the exact reverse is More Otten than not the Case when dealing anese. Are we therefore Tuat straightforwardness and honesty Are not amongst the of or that the commercial classes of Japan stand on a lower level of than. The rest of the a this letter Drew out others from various readers of Tihe result was that More was Learned about the japanese times had been giving to t he Public a its original treatment of the subject. One correspondent quoted from Brof Sesoi in to be said to be the leading japanese authority on a passage which went far to Clear up the truth As to the real Worth of Bushido and As to the present condition of commercial morality in Japan. This passage from professor Niobe is Worth quoting veracity far from being neglected formed an important item in the Cate gory of Knightly Virtues. Truth Tell ing is not always recommended in military life. Strategy is not outspoken honesty. Consider what Lycurgus honesty is not easily born or bred in Camps rather is it a pro duct of markets and workshops. When or. Eidd so exuberantly dilates on. The superiority of Western civilisation As being a re socratic and Plain every Day virtue As honesty and the effect largely for cause. It requires no flight of imagination. Or depth of cogitation to discover in Industrial dealings that honesty is the test whereas veracity As known in martial ethics attains a higher and deeper and consequently rarer form which Lecky Calls the philosophical As d distinct from the political or Industrial the mercantile calling was As far removed from Bushido As the North is from the South. To a Sarn Airai Trade and Commerce were Small concerns to which it was derogatory to his dignity to pay any attention hence the effect of Bushido upon the Early Days of our Commerce was riot appreciable. This was naturally Fol Lowed by n Low moral tone in the Industrial classes. One vulnerable Nolt of Bushko which it Shires with All class morality. Is that it meted out Honor in unequal Fles Rees to the Vari Ous vocations of of All to the Samurai then to the tillers of the soil to the Merhan is. And least of All to the the last named being considered by the rest As the Lea St honorable naturally they their moral tone to their re Bushido thus appears to have been originally the moral Ideal and code of the old military class in Japan known As the Samurai who regarded merchants a a Low and degraded order of society and thus it came about that the commercial morality of Japan Down to within a few score years ago was on a comparatively Low level. The japanese professor admits the commercial morality of his countrymen is still below the proper stand Ard and thus the criticism of the Bradford merchant is justified. Itis undoubtedly True however that As the japanese get farther away from the old feudalism la form of society their commercial class crows in social dignity and its business morality steadily improves. Growth of arbitration. It seems probable that Tion of an Arbster ration treaty the United.
