NEW JAPANESE TREATIES

Britishers are sometimes repre-
sented as being chronic grumblers,
and perhaps il is only as an outcome
OF such character that the growl
comes, elsewhere reproduced from a
Shanghai paper, against the new
treaties with Japan. The author
does not like the idea Of having
British residents in Japan brought
under the jurisdiction of the native
courts, instead OF having their diff
culties adjudicated as at present by
their consuls. He adopts tho opinion
that "the much-vaunted civilization
Of Japan is for the most part merely
superficial and that the nation has
not yet attained to such a pitch Of
progress as would entitle it to be
recognized as on a par with Great
Britain, France, Germany, the United
States and the other civilized ma
tions Of the earth" Apparently he
takes no account OF the immense
progress Japan has made in civiliza-
ton within the memory OF the pres
ent generation, which giving evil
dence Of continuance in the same
ratio promises to place the nation,
by the time the treaties come into
effect, far along toward that parity
with other civilized nations which
he now denies to her. Japan's pro-
gress though immense as stated is
in nowise miraculous once she
reached the determination to be
civilized. She simply grasped the
winnings OF other nations in civil
ization through centuries OF up.
ward struggle. In other words ia
pan is one OF the heirs Of the ages
and what she is to-day, in COMPARE
son with her condition only a quar-
ter Of a century ago, is not more as
tonishing than the change in cir
cumstances OF poor man of yester-
day who finds himself to-day the
legatee OF a large fortune. Parlia-
mentary government in Japan is but
a few years old, yet it is probably
