well, as time went on the village
grew into a city. Under the treaty
of Townsend Harris and all the other
treaties the right of extra-territorial-
ity was recognized. That is, when
ever a case arose in which a foreigner
belonged. AS time went on, Sir Har-
ry Parks, the British minister, asked
for ground in Yokohama for a race
track. We cautiously suggested that
horse-racing was said to be wicked by
the European missionaries. But he
insisted and we gave him the ground.
Then we were asked for ground for
a social club for the foreigners, and
we gave them plot on the sea front,
the finest piece of land in the city.
Later they wanted to play cricket
and football, and finally golf. Well,
we gave them ground for this. AS
the city grew, this cricket field was So
surrounded by buildings that it was
practically in the center of town. I'm
derstand, all of this ground was do
mated. Last year we suggested that
we could use the cricketfeld, and We
offered to give in place of it a field in
the suburbs. AS railways had been
built meanwhile, the new field would
be even more accessible than the old
one was when we gave it. The for
eigners demurred. and proposed that
we buy the old field and with the pur
chase-money they would secure a new
one Finally, we compromised by
paying for their improvements and
furnishing them a new field with like
Improvements free of cost.
THE question of taxation arose
Yokohama had grown to be a city oil
100000 inhabitants, with millions OF
dollars invested in buildings owned
by foreigners. We asked no taxes or
the ground we had donated to them
but we did think it fair that they
should pay taxes on their buildings
They said no, that everywhere in the
West the buildings went with the
ground. We submitted the question t

Times, of Ceylon. "To meet their re-
quest" he replied "would mean to
turn over the government of Ceylon
to them at once, because there are
5000 Of them and only 5000 English
men, women, and children We must
stop educating them"
What do you think of that for a
remedy? Personally, | do not think
it will work, any more than I think
any rule of arbitrary repression can
endure. l take refuge in the large
experience and ripe judgment of Lord
Curzon, Of Kedleston, who in July.
1904, was given the hall, and on that
occasion used these words: Depend
upon it, you will never rule the East
except through the heart, and the mo-
ment imagination has gone out of your
Asiatic policy your empire will dwin.
die and decay"
] am also impressed with the cor
rectness of Lord Morleys attitude.
Speaking in support of the Indian re-
fom proposals two years ago, he said:
"The Founder of Christianity arose in
an Oriental country, and when 1 am
told that Orientals always mistake
kindness for fear, must repeat that
! do not believe it, any more than I
believe the stranger saying of Carlyle,
that after all the fundamental ques-
ton between any two beings is, Can
l kill thee, or canst thou kill me?
do not agree that any organized so
ciety has ever subsisted upon either
OF those principles, or that brutality
is always present as a fundamental
postulate in the relations between
rulers and ruled"
And Curzon and Morley have many
supporters in their view. In SNUG
complacency, you may close your
doors which look toward Asia, while
you open wide those which look to-
ward Europe; you may refuse the ORR
entail admission to your schools, while
you accord the privilege to any child
of European; you may pile import
duties mountain high, and raise our
, standards of living to any pitch Of
/ extravaganza; you may build war
( ships without limit, and you may CON
tinue to treat the Asian as legitimate
prey, But | am confident that it will
not avail.
AS a soldier, whether at Omdurman,
in the Sudan, or on 203-Metre Hill, at
Port Arthur, the man of color has
shown himself a right good fighting
man; in commerce he has, by his in
dustry, perseverance, ingenuity, and
frugality, given us pause; and before
the eternal throne his temporal and
his spiritual welfare are worth az
! much as yours or mine.

feeling against foreigners in Yoko-

When Commodore Perry went to
Japan in 1858 he wrote a letter to the
Japanese Emperor containing these
words:
with the Americans, as indeed
with all Christian people, it is consid-
cred a sacred duty to receive with
kindness, and to succor and protect
all, of whatever nation, who may be
cast upon their shores, and such has
been the course of the Americans with
all Japanese subjects who have fallen
under their protection"
With his warships Perry compelled
Japan to receive citizens of the Unit
ed States and to grant them eXtraor-
binary domiciliary rights, From that
day to this we have spent enormous
sums to establish schools in Japan
for the education Of the natives. Yet
we now are seeking to deny them ad-
mission to this country and we are
refusing to permit them to attend our
schools.
In the Philippines a ruffian Amer
lean soldier, recruited from the pur-
lieus of New York, shoves a native
gentleman from the sidewalk Of Ma

likely a cultivated gentleman, educat
ed at the Sorbonne, in Paris.
The infamous opium war upor
China, and the equally infamous eX

worse than our own extortion of alb

there was no more profitable under
