Our recognition of Russia has given her people some disquietude. Our recent passage of the Vinson Navy program bill has disappointed her. Our continual refusal to lift the immigration laws in her respect has chagrined her Government. We are certainly living in very tfcklish times. and yet who would agree that we are not perfectly within our rights on the score of all these points that seem to be irritable to Japan? We certainly should be permitted to build our fleet up to treaty strength. as she has. We certainly have a right to see who should enter our confines as immigrants. as she has. We certainly have a right to permit any part of or all our fleet to ride upon the waves on the Pacific coast. as she has. But unfortunately. destiny seems determined that all these things work against the friendly diplomatic relationship of Japan with us.
