“WE CAN WHIP
IF SHE I
JAPAN
-1ION. ADAM BEDE.
That, the United States could
war with Japan and handle the
.Japs without any trouble to the
majority of tho people of this
country is the opinion expressed
in Wayeross today by non. Adam
Bede, a former congressman from
the state of Minnesota, who was
hero on route to Savannah.
Mr. Bede thinks that tho .Japan
ese government will not bo long
in realizing that tho national gov
ernment of this country cannot
control tho state of California or
any other state under our consti
tution nnd state rights. He also
believes that Japan will find out
that the nntionnl government hns
done all within its power to pre
vent the land legislation objected
to hy Japan nnd that the apparent
differences will pnss away without
war.
“However,” said he, “if Japan
wants to fight this country will
hoi mini La If* ai all in tho matter.
We wil? whip the Japs If tho£ In
sist upon having war and will do
it without many of our people
knowing war is going on. This Is
bcoause our country is so big and
great that the majority of ns will
keep right on In onr regular paths

what we get from the newspaper
accounts. Japan is not in a finan
cial condition that will permit her
fighting now, nnd then again Ja
pan is not a strong nation com
pared to the United States. You
will remember that, there wag a
lot of talk of the United States
having trouble with Italy because
several Italians were killed In
New Orleans. The Italian gov
ernment investigated the killings
and found that the nutional gov
ernment. was in no way to blame,
There was no war then anti it is
my honest opinion there will he
no war with Japan.”
Former Mayor Seidel, of Mil
waukee, a Socialist, of nntionnl
note, nnd candidate on the Hocinl-
int ticket for vice-president, was
also here today, on route to Sa
vannah to lake part in a joint de
bate in that city. He says .So
