China is bound to be tie colain4
nation OF the east. 1t viii soon te
ahead Of Japan" This is the prophecy
of Il raan who has spent thirty-s4G
yc.:Gs in China IL hopes to enc his
Gays; there. 1t is that of the Rev. 'Dr.
T. Richard, with whom | had an ill
ta"esting conversation recently in Lon
doa. writes Il member of the London
Daily Ncws staff.
China will be greater than Japan
within half Il century" the doctor de
cIIred. still in prophetic vein. The past
history of China, considered with the
remarkable movements now maturing
there, bears me out. China has he'd
together n larger number of people
than you find III any other nation i'll
GIe world. 1t has don that for over
1000 years. That means great pow
c"s of organization. Now that China
is adopting new methods you will find
it will still be able TO hold together

BY use of arms"
'Wc.l, China is determined to de
v2!oD along the same lines as Japan.
The Chinese are prepared to mC1!fy

G':nE 10 learn everything they Il
from western civilization. In thirty
years time. having learned all that
Europeans can each them, they will
get rid of their teachers. as Japan has.
T.cn you will see them rise ahead of
Japan and become as powerful IL M.

"To some extent she is. The Japu-
ncSc have for ten years been o.gluiZ-
in: ~ .Asiatic league. This league is
not only identified with China. but with
all the nations of Asia. Statesmen
f:o.l siam. India and Persia. as well
~ from China, are influenced by the
league ana visit Japan solely i'll con
E2ction with its objects"
which are
TO resist the west with its own
weapons. but with an army far SUI
pcrior in numbers. The people of Asia
are sic!, of the white peril. The AFRO
game of Europeans has become I'M
bCarab!c to them. China feels This
more kcenly than the other Asiatic ma
tionS. The Boxer rising was but az
expression of that feeling. That re-
lClli0n taught the Chinese they could
do nothing against European armies
without European methods. They will
not rise against the Europeans again
until they have learned what The Jap
ancSc have learned. And thcn as Il
great power they will outclaSs the
Japanese. The people in England

"-Aud what docs it all mcan?"
at means nan things. First, China
docs not intend to lie at the mercy of
Japan. 1t is Il mistake 10 suppose that
Japan is going 10 do what she likes
with China. II also means that China
Is determined to shake off the yoke of
European tyranny, which she feels
Foculy."

tons Of Christcndom begin ut once to
act i1ftly toward China the day ma

much infected with the fear of the
white peril rs Europrlus are with the
