principle OF a service pension is vicious. Is

BY no means the least interesting and auspi-
cious feature Of the present controversy in the
Far East is the position which Japan occupies
In the sight and esteem OF the world at large
The prestige which that remarkable nation has
gained and holds has probably never been
rivalled by that OF any other in similar crcum-
stances. Men who are not yet willing to be CON
sidered old remember when Japan was scarcely
open to the world, and had scarcely begun to
emerge from barbarlsm--when the world gem
orally spoke Of Japan much OF Bur1nah and
Zanzibar and the Fiji Islands Men still young
remember when Japan threw off the letters
Of medavalism and adopted a constitutional
and representative government. II seems only
the other day that extra territorialism was
abolished, and all other determinations, and
Japan was treated as the legal peer of other
nations. 1t was two years ago this month that
Great Britain took the unprecedented step of
making n treaty of alliance with Japan treat
ing the latter with a respect and esteem similar
TO that which France pays TO Russia in the
Dual League or that which the members of the
Triple Alliance pay to each other.
To-day, then, Japan stands unchalenged
among the great powers Of the world She is
the peer OF any of them in legal standing. In
sentiment and sympathy she actually outranks
at least one Of them. There can, we think be
no doubt that the preponderance of sympathy
the world over is with her and against her adj
versary in the present quarrel. That is to say,
Europe and America side with an Asiatic power
Of the yellow race against a European power
largely of the white race. That is an extraor-
binary state of affairs but the reason is not diff
fcult to discover. 1t is partly because Japan
is seen TO be fighting the battle of civilization
and progress. She is contending for the inter
ests of Europe and America against influences
that would impair them. But that is not all.
Japan is also seen to be worthy of the esteem
she is receiving. That is perhaps the dominant
feature OF the case. In wise craftsmanship In
shrewd diplomacy in generous spirit, In earnest
desire for peace with justice and honor and in
intelligent self-control Japan has won the adj
miration OF the world. 1t Is TO be doubted il
any other nation in similar circumstances has
ever acted more creditaby.
In the face OF such conditions the old cry of
the yellow peril" rings false. 1t is still raised
Of course by Japan's adversary and would-be
oppressor and by a few others who formerly
30 committed themselves to 1t that they cannot
now help repeating 1t. But 1t Is vain The
whole influence Of Japan, both in herself and
in respect 70 China and the other yellow peo-
pies, is SO benefcent that other nations are in
clined to say, IF this be peril let us have more
OF IL" Moreover. with the examples of Poland.
OF Finland and ct Armenia before it, and with
the threat to make another Finland of the
whole Scandinavian Peninsula and another Po-
land of~thc Balkan, the world is beginning TO
