Under these conditions of impending war (though Manchurian difficulties and the coming of winter may postpone the argument for a while), the introduction of a substantial trade between America and the Soviet Maritime Provinces might contain irritating implications if Japanese invasion caused it to be broken off. The howl which would ascend to the starry skies of our Western states, ably supported by the Yellow Peril agitators...
