cess OF previous years. Russia, too,
will probably. as result Of this war,
enter upon period of prosperity, es-
pecially in Siberia, that will not only
help her, but also ASIA, Europe and
the United States, so far as commerce
is concerned.
No Danger of Yellow Peril.
1T, is illogical to presume that we
stand in danger of yellow peril The
yellow peril may be yellow blessing
in disguise, because you know the
more you develop a country's resour-
ces and purchasing capacity, the more
that country will buy. The crying
need in the Orient today, so far as
trade is concerned, is an increase in
it's own purchasing capacity.
THE more japan has become a
manufacturing and Industrial country
the more she has purchased from the
United States, until now, in 1905, her
imports from this country alone far
exceeded her combined imports from
all the world thirty years ago. Seat
tie is so located that she must be one
of the first American cities to become
enriched by the opening Of China,
which is sure to come as direct re-
suit of this war;"
When asked for a bit of fact con-
corning the Panama canal, Minister
Barrett said
Il have nothing to say about the
departure of Engineer Wallace from
Panama, simply because both he and
Secretary Taft are my personal
friends. You may say, however, that
the canal, despite all opposition, criti-
cism and Misrepresentation, is going
to be built, and the greatest argument
in favor of its being put through is
the fact that President Roosevelt him.
self has determined that the under
taking shall not be a failure.
"The great trouble down on the
iSthmus so far has been the lack of
proper organization and sanitation.
The first problem to be solved at Pan
anna is not engineering feats or the
digging of dirt. 1t is rather the max
ing of the canal route comparative
ly healthy. The unfortunate expe-
riences we have already had on the
isthmus are like the preliminary skir-
mishes in battle, and they but leave
the attacking force more strongly en-
trenched for the next attack"
