New York. March 22.-Henry Nor
man. the London journalist and MEM
ber of parliament, whose study of Rus
sian and oriental politics makes him
recognized authority. declares that the
present war between Russia and Japan
is the beginning of u great struggle for
the control of China, for the ultimate
domination Of the far east, and the
headship of all the Asiatic races.
Writing under the title of The War
and After in the forthcoming num-
ber of Worlds Work Mr.. Norman
points out the probability of war in the
near east and E.ngland's peril from
such an event. ard says:
Already the flames of hostility to
England are visible almost everywhere
in Europa manifestation which is
not at all surprising in view of the Ian
guage of so much of the London press.
Denunciation of Russia is as eXtrava-
CANT as adulation OF Japan is eXagger-
ated. and both are making England a
host of fresh enemies every week.
For all this day of reckoning will
surely come, for the passion aroused
against England will have reached its
climax when-if this happens--Russia
has practically evacuated Manchuria,
and Japan. unable to continue ruin
Gus struggle of Indefinite duration, re-
guests the powers to recognize the re-
PROCESSION of Manchuria to China and
to decree the end of the war
"Then England is likely to learn the
result OF her Asiatic alliance. for it is
the universal conviction that ii was the
Anglo Japanese treaty which made
war in the far east both possible and
probable.
In conclusion I will venture upon
one prophecy-namely that the result
of this war will be for Russia bless
ing in disguise. The policy of expan-
sion everywhere, at any cost and by
any method, whether of arms or of
diplomacy. together with its authors
and upholders, will be discredited. The
canker at the heart of Russia-the corr
ruption of her bureaucracy-will be cut
cut. The statesmen who desire to cur
tail military expenditure and to en-
courage Russian production ard COM
merce will come back to power. The
czar will brush aside opposition to the
ideals of humanity and peace. that he
cherishes."

into separate measure. The bill

It's present form much is left to the
