AMERICAN NAVY
WINS PRAISE
FROM G. F. BROWN
Popular Harrisburg Auto
Truck Driver Endorses
Tobacco
There's a juicy richness and a
lasting flavor in American Navy
that you never find in ordinary
chewing tobacco. This statement
from G. F. Brown, of 343 Brook
Street, well-known auto truck
driver here in Harrisburg, Pa., is
one out of many enthusiastic en
dorsements :
"I have been using AMERI
CAN NAVY about four years and
have never found any other to
bacco that pleases me as well."
American Navy is made of
choice selected, whole leaf, in a
clean, sanitary factory. The leaf
is the same kind as used in good
cigars but instead of being loose
cuttings and clippings, it is whole
long leaf, pressed into plug form,
forcing the sweet, fruity juice
v Jirough the entire plug.
Follow Mr. Brown's example
and you'll have the same pleasant
experience. Ask your dealer for
a 5c or 10c cut of American Navy.
See what a big money's worth you
get, both in quality and quantity.

HOW ABOUT JAPAN ?
By Frederic J. Haskin
[Continued from Pa#*' 10]
turn Korea Into a Japanese preserve.
The most important foreign Inter
ests In Korea were io the hands of a
single American firm. Japan's course
in the case of this firm was typical.
She offered to buy the Americans out.
The Americans refused to sell. They
had spent years in establishing them
selves, and did not care to retire just
as they had weathered the doubtful
stage and were beginning to take prof
its. The Japanese then set out to ob
struct and oppose them at every turn.
Their mining titles were disputed.
Their enterprises were subjected to
unfair competition, as in the case of a
telephone company, for which they
had secured an exclusive franchise.
The Japanese calmly set up a compet
ing company. The past records of the
members of the American firm were
searched in an attempt to uncover dis
creditable facts, although the company
was so long established that it
amounted to an institution and no
one had questioned its integrity be
fore.
In spite of this campaign, which
was long and expensive enough to
have broken a smaller corporation, the
Americans kept on fighting. They fought
from Seoul and Tolcio to Washington
and back again. Finally they sold out.
As a business proposition the game was
obviously not worth the candle. Pac
ing Japanese opposition backed up by
Japanese officials, the business could
not be run at a profit. However dear
might be the principles involved, as
business men the Americans had no
alternative but to bow to the inevit
able and withdraw.
The incident illustrates the commer
cial policy of Japan in the countries
she dominates. She realizes her na
tional need for commercial expansion.
She is willing to purchase foreign in
terests at a price, but If they refuse to
withdraw gracefully, they will be made
to withdraw ungracefully. Japan has
the justification of a certain necessity
—a Justification that is being stretch
ed to cover a good deal nowadays.
That Europe and America recognized
her justification is shown by the way
they have stood aside while Japan, In
contravention of International agree
ments and policy, proceeded from
fighting a war over Korea's autonomy
in 1894 to swallowing the hapless
kingdom herself a little over a decade
later. She has also been permitted to
establish a virtual protectorate over
Manchuria and to turn that rich re
gion into a Japanese trade preserve.
But her course must find its limits
I somewhere.
Korea herself has become a Jap
anese province. She Is hardly so much
a part of Japan as a vassal state. That
incident is closed. But how far will
Japan proceed on these lines? "Am
erican business men here believe that
If the policy which Japan is now try
ing to impose on China succeeds, the
course of events respecting other for
eign trade with China will be the same
as has occurred during Japanese oc
cupation of Korea and Manchuria." So
says the American Association of
China, in a pamphlet recently publish
ed. Therein consists the really vital
significance of Korea; not In the Am
erican interests driven from a field
they explored and developed, but in
the face of the Immensely greater
American interests, actual and poten
tial, in China herself. Already in the
Shantung district just seized from
Germany, Japan is using her former
methods. There seems no doubt as
to what she will do If unchecked. Re
mains only the question of who will
check her.
The missionary situation In Korea Is
fundamentally different from that of
trade and industry. The missionary Is
Influenced by no considerations of ex
pediency. He has to stick to his post,
whether the political administration
be favorable or no. American mission
aries in Korea are standing by their
work, but the future that was once
the brightest in the Orient has be
come full of clouds and complexities.
When the Japanese took over Korea,
i Prince Ito, governor-general of the
j province, announced in plain terms
that whileforeiern missionaries would be
unmolested so long as they refrained
from any activities with a political
significance, no such activities would
|be tolerated. Such a position seems
Just enough; but it is none the less
fatal. In the long run, to the work of
American missionaries.
The Korean people resented hotly
the coming of the Japanese. Even the
most spineless state will not take
quietly the transfer of its supreme
government into the hands of foreign
ers; and in addition to this natural
sentiment, the Koreans were inevit
ably stirred to rage by the treatment
they received at the hands of their
'Japanese masters. In a matter such
las this, the sympathies of the mis
sionaries naturally lay with the peo
ple among whom they had worked for
years, who were the under dogs, and
who were fully in the right. No mat
ter how hard they might try to be
neutral, they could net condone the
conduct of the Japanese, nor could
their teachings, colored as they must
be by their Americanism, sincerely
counsel the Koreans to accept the Idea
that they were an inferior race to
their neighbors from Nippon.
Moreover, the Koreans have now be
come citizens of the Japanese empire.
The keystone of the Japanese scheme
of domestic government is an Idea not
political, but religious—the idea of
emperor-divinity. Such an Idea Is in
compatible with the teachings of the
missionaries. By inculcating the doc
trines of Christianity, they work
against the acceptance of a creed
which is thq cornerstone of the Japa-

nose state. Thus when Prince Ito
said that the missionaries would be
unmolested so long as their teachings
were in no way political, he made a
statement that sounded well and
meant very little. That his course was
Justified under the circumstances Is
probably true, but his manner of stat
ing it deliberately obscured the issue.
The American missionaries have been
conducting themselves with great tact
and discretion under the Japanese
regime, and as a result their work is
still going forward actively and suc
cessfully. But the fact cannot be
blinked that Japanese annexation
spelled an enormous set-back to the
cause of Christianity In Korea. Wide
spread Christianlzatlon is incompatible
with the Japanese theory of govern
ment.
In this case, as in the question of
trade and industry, unfortunate Korea
is of interest chiefly as a pertinent
warning, as the handwriting on the
wall. Her life as an autonomous em
pire is over. She is part of Japan.
But now Japan turns toward China,
a land Infinitely richer and fuller of
possibilities, where American mer
chants and American missionaries
have a stake correspondingly greater.
Through the fog of dplomatic evasions
and smooth promises which hangs
over the situation, the form of Korea
looms solid and significant.
