Besides, what he said was a small thing in itself; if our so-called "yellow press" and our Irish politicians had not raised such a hue and cry, it would have gone unnoticed...

The result is only too likely to be the rekindling of the flames of anger and stubbornness in both Japan and America--names which will prevent any peaceable settlement of the problem...
