The situation is more serious than you Im agine. They Strike Without Warning. ‘"The bassoon player, whose tune Is hot air, may think war with Japan would not amount to much, hut we are dealing With a nation of proud and breve people.

If trouble comes. It must not be our fault. We must avoid a rupture If any plan of diplomacy can do It."' A Western senator, with whom the California senators are In close con fidence, confirmed the statements of members of the California delegation. Can Afford to Treat. "On any question not touching our honor," he said, "we will doubtless be willing to abide by the decision of The Hague tribunal. It has been suggested that If the ‘United fitatee and Japan can not settle their differences other wise, the matter shnutd be referred to The Hague. The administration Is greatly concerned over this Japanese situation. It has ugly features, which I do not care to discuss.,. But the re sources of dtptomary are great, and this great nation can afford to take a most advanced position of forbearance and magnanimity. "One of the disquieting factors of the situation is the belief In certain quarters that Japan has been encour aged by another nation to assume an ugly position. Ths president, 1 under stood, told the California delegation that Japan's financial resources were underrated. He gave them the Im pression that he had Information which he was not at liberty to divulge. This sidelight on the situation, with certain other sinister matters. Induces me to believe that expedition and tact must be employed In order to avoid serious trouble." Taft Fears Troubla. This senator was asked whether tie attached any Importance. ln_BecWsry-- Taft's Intimation that trouble was brewing In Hawaii as the result of In creased Immigration of Japanese ex- soldiers. He neplted: “All I know about the matter la what Secretary Taft told me. He said ths situation, hs said, and caused regard tbs Japanese question as se rious. He did not go Into details, merely adding that an Investigation waa In pragma." 200 OASES EXCELLENT BRANDS CANNED CORN MUST 00 THIS WEEK AT ACTUAL COST—CLOSING OUT. SALE.
