China-Japan viii be ready for th
new. Gengis- Khan, 20 lead the horde
west this time, not east.
China Japan, with limitlessc chea]
manufactures able to crush Europe
viii begin by demanding the opel
door. In the name Of progress ans
the good OF man. ChinasJapan viii
demand liberty for men % spreae
cheap products freelyover the world
She viii quote the very words ouI
statesmen have addressed 10 her In
the past.
Europe will resist such insol.
ence.
Then China-Japan viii make
what II viii call another reasonable
request. II viii say that II lacks
territory for It's population Point
ing TO Africa as an open Geld for
European expansion. it will demand
the closing of all European estab-
lishments in China and the evacu-
alton OF all territory which ought
normally to belong to the yellow en-
pire. It will warn Russia out of
Manchuria, Korea and the open sea.
1t will offer to reimburse Russia for
the railroads and other constructions
Russia may have made up to the ST.
berian frontier. OF England and
Germany il will demand the restitu-
tion of Wei Hai-Wei and Kiao- Tch-
eou, Hongkong, etc.. included. OF
France it will demand the evacua.
tion Of Tonkin, AMMAN and Cochin
China. To these, as TO Russia,
China-Japan will offer full money
observation-disclosures China Japan
will be fabulously rich at shat time
and mere money will not have the
same value it has today"
And how will the Emperor Of
China Japan enforce such demands?"
some one asked.
He will give three days for the
ambassadors and others European
officials to quit his dominions, by
routes indicated to them. In three
months he will expel every Euro
pean from China Japan. And he
will declare China Japan closed 10
Europe until Europe consents for
mally to the evacuation OF the ter
ritories.
Then what happen?"
VIII Mean Europe's Ruin.
There will be emotion In Europe,
said the high-thinking philosopher.
"The open door demanded by China
Japan will mean ruin to Europe; it
must be refused. And how can the
governments consent to the humilia-
tion of evacuating those eastern
spheres of activity? On the other
hand, how can they continue TO
occupy them against an empire re-
presented by 10000. 900 modern
armed men, 700 cruisers and 800
men-of- war? Russia will doubtless
demand a concerted European des-
cent on Peking by way of Manchuria.
But England will not be able to
admit plan so favorable to Russian
interests. England will, therefore,
demand q naval coalition against the
islands of Japan, because in an at
tack by land on such an immense
empire the troops of Europe would
melt like snow
And Germanly."
THE Emperor of Germany of that
time will say something like this:
When hundred years ago my il.
lustrious great at-grandfather, William
ii, saluted the departure of the
German troops to revenge the as.
sassination of a German minister to
China, il was shown to the world
that German power knows how e
sustain German honor. The god o
war was favorable to US. TODAY
we ought TO give all our German
energy to our German colonies In
Africa. Ought we TO spill German
blood in the peninsula of Kiao
Tcheou? | think not. No morta
offense has been made directly Il
our honor.
And the United States?"
During a good part OF the nine
teenth century the United State.
has had to give thought 10 the vel
low peril. Coolie immigration hal
been vigorously prohibited in ;
country that has always held out ID
arms to newcomers OF all other col
ors. 1t is very likely, however
that the United States will have KEEP
in high favor with China Japan b.
fayoring Chinese immigration to th
Philippines. Treaties OF friendship
and commere will be passed betwee
Peking and Washington, and doubl
less in Europe's hour of danger th
United States viii have for half
century been in the enjoyment {
special privileges in the yellow en-
pire.'
