would benefit them, but unless the
rights of the inhabitants are to be re-
Spected there is nothing gained-the
outcome of the war will merely mean
transfer of privilege from Russia to
Japan. This is the truth of the matter
stripped of all sentiment for the brave
little fighters whose popularity has
reached such a height in America 1t
is to be hoped that Japan will not for
felt the respect she has gained by
violating her pledge to preserve the in
tegrity of Korea.
Although Japan disclaims any inten-
ton of territorial expansion, let US con-
slider just how far she may go if her
word is not to be depended upon.
There are several reasons why she
cannot run rampant even if she were
so disposed Now that the terms of
peace have been negotiated, we find
that Japan is not as free from Russian
influence as was supposed. The re-
linauishfng of all informed ships to
Russia gives that country quite re-
spectacle fleet in Asiatic waters, which
she may be expected to strengthen at
once, since she is allowed that priv1-
lege by the terms of the agreement.
While Russia agrees to abandon Man
churia. her word to that effect will not
be binding any longer than Japan
maintains the force necessary to make
her keep it. Therefore Japan is not
free to undertake much in the way OF
new enterprises on account of having
to husband her resources as safe
guard against the Entertainments OF
her old enemy.
THE JAPANESE MILESTONE.
The one thing which is certain to
handicap Japan for many years, and
to reduce the prospect of her causing
trouble, is the heavy financial obl1ga-
lions of the empire. AS I have stated
before in these letters, she is head
over heels in debt and is top-heavy in
a military way. 1t Will take many
years to develop the commerce of the
island to a state equal to its fine mil
itary organization. The government
will have to patiently work it's way
out of debt or be swamped. The en-
tire assets of the nation are pledged
for the various war loans, and the
wealth producing powers of the pop
ulation are exceedingly small. Debt Is
bound to be a serious thing IN any
country where the scale of wages Is
only a few cents a day.
One of the great problems of Japan's
future is the delicate and difficult task
of placating Korea. It will require
all her skill to win the confidence of
these people This is true because the
Korean has an ingrained dislike for
the Japanese. For a thousand years
the inhabitants of the peninsula have
despised the islanders. The two peo-
pies have absolutely nothing in COM
mon. The Koreans are slovenly and
unmethodical, while the Japanese are
orderly and precise. The Korean has
rude manners and the Japanese is ,
punctilious The Korean is dirty and
the japanese is clean. The Korean

bred fights against the Russian can
have no standing With the Korean if
he has an ugly sounding name that is
offensive to poetic sense. In short, the
feud between Korea and Japan has
lasted for centuries and it's elimination
will prove the quality of Japanese
diplomacy.
And China has no more love for
Japan than Korea. While the SYM
pathy of the dragon empire was large
ly with the Japanese in the conflict
with Russia, it was because the sue
cess of Japanese arms was in the
nature of a guarantee to China against
further land concessions to foreign
powers. But this sympathy will hard
ly go far enough to result in an alli-
ance and a rally to the policy of 'Asia
for the Asiatics.'' China fears Japan.
She would rather be partitioned by the
European powers that become a vassal
of her brown rival. The Chinese have
almost as distinct racial antipathy to
the Japanese as the Koreans.
CHINA JEALOUS OF JAPAN.
Commercial jealousy and religious
difference are other factors which add
to the opposition. China gave to japan
it's first civilization. and she will be
10th to take lessons from her young
rival which is itself hardly more than
student in western ideals Thus it
will be seen that the dissimilarities eX-
listing between the inhabitants of
China, Korea and Japan. as well as
the other Oriental countries. are equal
ly as pronounced as those between the
various states of Europe. and the pros
pect of a coalition between them to
make common cause against the west,
is not more likely to be realized than
the oft rumored bugbear of Europe
uniting against the United States.
No nation has a greater interest,
both political and financial. in the out
come of affairs in the Orient than the
United States. This is true because
our foreign trade is practically in its
infancy. and opposite our Pacific sea-
board there is located one-third of the
population of the world, yet if there
should be anything in the yellow
Peril our country would have less
cause to fear it than any other white
nation. Our security is due to the fact
that We have steadfastIy refused to
join with other powers in wrestling
ports and territories in the Orient from
their rightfuI owners. Our statesmen
have always used their influence TO
protect rather than to despoil the East,

abominates ceremony and the japanese
revels in it.
THE SWORD AND THE PEN.
Another great barrier is the differ
ence in dress. The ordinary Japanese
thinks nothing of going about with
no more clothing than a loin cloth,
while even the common Korean con-
siders that only a barbarian will ex-
pose his person. The Japanese has a
natural tendency for the pursuits of
war, while the Korean is scholarly
and loves to harangue his fellows in
the language of the ancients. One is
a land of the sword and the other of
the pen. The Koreans prejudice
against the Japanese is so great that
he can see no good in him at all. A
