The Secretary of State stands for peace. and it is wholly to his credit that he stands forpeace. One of the most beautiful lectures delivered by mortal man was delivered by the present Secretary of State upon the subject of peace. and it interested and attracted all liearers. but the present Secretary of State is now engaged in negotiations with foreign powers that may or may not contemplate peace. We are discussing the question of Japanese immigration at the present time. The Secretary of State would not have us imperil ourselves in any war with Japan. he stands for peace. for disarmament. but the Secretary of Labor. who also stands for peacefor industrial peaceis at variance with the Secretary of State upon this subject so far as it pertains to the Japanese. He is in favor of involving us. if necessary. in a controversy with an otherwise friendly power by having us bar from the country the natives of Japan who seek an opportunity to obtain a livelihood in the United States. He stands for peace. but he does not want an Asiatic admitted into the United States. nor any other foreigner. in fact. unless he is qualified to fight. Rather an inconsistency in the Cabinet of a President who stands for peace. The Secretary of the Navy stands for peace.
