India, and few million of East-In-
dams have been enabled to come In
close contact with Western culture;
but India has paid a woeful price for
these features of modernization and
the benefits which have accrued to
India from them are merely incidental
Japan's political administration of
Korea and Manchuria may add these
and probably other features OF civili-
zation; it may lead to imparting cdu-
cation to Koreans and Manchurians;
but this will be incide:stal and for
these advantages Korea and Man
churia will pay most exorbitant

liable of using Western methods of
warfare to defeat a Western people;
and if possible the praise of the
Orient was more lavish than that of
the Occident. But, as in America and
Europe. the Asian attitude toward
the Mikados subjects has undergone
a great change. Asia has become
fearful of the methods Japan is en-
ploying to secure commercial mar
kets and proclaiming its political
suzerainty in Asiatic countries.
The times dispatch. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1903-1914, 1908-05-10


The first shock was occasioned by
the excuses committed by Japan in
Korea. To the entire continent it
was patent that Japan was not assum-
ing the suzerainty of Korea for altru-
istic purposes: the peninsula was to
be I'd of the Russian and to be util-
lied by the expanding Nipponese. 1t
was expected by Eastern people that
the Japanese would make the civiliza-
ton and development of Korea and its
resources mere secondary object;
very few Asiatics had expected that
they would subject the Koreans to the
militarism since forced upon them.
Japan can offer but feeble excuses for
her policy of Disqualification and eX-
pansion and for inauguratng reign
of terrorism in Korea.
Her present attitude toward China
and her administration of Manchuria
enthusiastically indicate that the Jap
anese are determined to carry their
operations farther in the continent.
If tie Chinese reports are to be re-
lied upon. it is certain that the Jap
anese are making the best of their
tenure of Manchuria. BY practically
monopolizing its trade; by Offering
princes and captains of industry, by
transplanting the petty shopkeepers
and affording profitable employment
in railroad and government offices to
the Japanese gproletariat. etc, they are
paving the way for complete domina-
ton.
