Our Navy Is certainly not so weak that it hould fear attack in our own waters. and I can not conceive it so strong that public opinion would allow it to go 4.000 miles from home. Against war with Japan I do not think we are unprepared. and I am ashamed to admit that if such a war should come. it would probably be due to the unreasonable and unfeeling conduct of our own people. If we will but be patient and reasonable. fand not follow demagogues. the problem of Japanese immigration can be satisfactorily solved through diplomatic channel.q. Japan does not wish her people to emigrate here. but she does not wish our laws to discriminate against her alone. There is one other danger against which we must insure. annd that is our emotional. selfsatisfied. undisciplined spirit. which is constantly inflamed by the flatteries of Fourth of July.orators claiming that we can whip a world in arms. and which might blaze up on any slight provocation and drive even a reluctant administration into war. Or we may have Presidents who will attack anothernation because of the punctilio of a salute and who may not have the prudence to select an opponent of inferior size.
