of Japanese labor is timely:
"In the very outset. the as

rise as a military power and her
predicted rise as an industrial

groundless non sequitur that it is.
All our present has its roots in
the past, as my first Japanese
acquaintance said to me; and we
ignore fundamental facts when
we forget that, for centuries I'M

soldier, as the rose bush for the
blossom. The man of martial
courage was the goal OF all her
striving, the end of all her ira

commerce was despised as dis
honorable and industry merely
tolerated as a necessary evil.

no such advantages as many of
our people have been led to be-

any community-not because IL is
cheap, but because it is inefl-

have come to regard as perhaps
the dearest on the continent.

theory would not hold good. By
