But, unfortunately, this absurdity- has circulated, particularly in America. where its effect has been to discourage- the Japanese venture. America's love of liberty has been directly invoked to stay the hand of Japan in undertaking herpro-destined work. Even President Wilson's admirably conceived message to the Baviats has been exploited by the Bolsheviks in the hope,
