1t is difficult TO when Korea will cease playing
its old role of storm center in the Far East The
present war may not solve its difficulties. Imagine
Americas owning all the Southern States, but
the Florida peninsula. Florida is about the size of
Korea and similarly placed geographically, but
Korea has thirty times great a population as
Florida. Suppose the West Indies constituted
nation as strong Japan; with the commercial de-
velopment and exploitation of the Carolinas and
Tennessee, Georgia, Alabama and Mississippi, what
would be the future of Florida?
There has been question among the well-in-
formed in the Far East Russias final possession
of Siberia and Manchura, and no question as to the
development and advance of those rich territories,
which occupy the position to Korea the
Southern States do to Florida. Hence, the
present probability of trouble in and over Korea
until it at last becomes a Russian possession.
