signed article by DR.. Carl Peters, the
African explorer and British finan-
cier and author, published by the
Tag newspaper, has attracted un-
usual attention in political and dip
lomatic circles because of its spirited
impeachment of and warning against
the new world issues Asia for the
ASiatics:"
CBy Carl Peters)
The British situation in India is
critical Though the integrity of that
part of the world is guaranteed by
Ghe British japanese alliance. Bengal
is teeming with agtators shouting
asia for the Asiatics," and the
statesman, Okuma, tells his people
that 100000 Of Hindoos look upon
Japan as their natural protector"
Know No Open Door.
In South Manchuria the Japanese
respect the open door" as little as
did the Russians and ignore any
rights the British may have in those
parts.
Can you blame America and Eng
land for putting these facts together
as signs of the times? Either they
must act upon them sooner or later
or allow someone else to act for
them.
Meanwhile crowds of Chinese,
Hindoos and Siamese students are
accommodated at the japanese uni
versites to perfect themselves in
western wisdom, while Japanese
army officers are busy in every 'yel-
low" or "semi-yellOw" country teach
ing the natives how to slaughter
white people scientifically and sue
cessfully.
All of which shows that pam
Asiatism is becoming a thing to be
reckoned with, though what pan
Asiatism is no one has a distinct no.
tion, for Europe is as much a part
and parcel Of Asia as are India or
Arabia, The Hindoos. for instance,
are nearer related to the Indo-Ger-
man races than to the Mongolians.
Why, then, do the Japanese claim
to be the natural protector" of the
Hindoos? Because this natural
protection comes within the scope of
the japanese program.
Japanese Science Joke.
Now. understand me WELL No one
objects to the Asiatics attendance at
Japanese universities; certainly Eu-
rope and America are not trying to
enroll them. But as Japan never
produced "A Newton, Edison, Schop-
enhauer or Darwin. her claims as a
disseminator of the sciences are
rather vague. When a person in
Pekin, Kobe. or Benares has a real
thirst for knowledge. he must either
go to Boston oxford. Berlin or Paris
to quench it. In the realms of
science. then, asia for the Asiatics,
is a joke.
But Asia is lacking in other re-
spects, too. For Instance, 1t is a very
extended area for japanese colonia
and political purposes. For year.
past serious statesmen have viewed
with alarm the Japanese settlements
on the Indus and Ganges, in Cores
and elsewhere. These colonies are be
coming more and more of a menace
to the white races. Perennial famine
misery of the industrial masses and
over-multiplication are their chic
products.
As long as japanese colonies were
confined to Asia, the white man helC
his peace, even when the colonia
purposes the Japanese started the
war with Russia and closed Man
churia against Russian immi grants
Nowadays the Japanese have ther
a monopoly for colonization.
Very well, but was not the Unite,

say:

We have a perfect right to do so,
better right indeed. to the countr

Do you doubt this possibility?
1t is generally accepted that 60
or 700 years before Christ, Chimes
or japanese landed on the Pacifi
shores of North America. The whites
then. are usurping an ancient Japan

ish usurped Australia and India,
Such reasoning may lie at the bot
