RELIGION MONOPOLY


Correspondence Of the Associated Prcss.)
TOXIC. oct. There is increasing
evidence that Japanese Buddhists are
to undertake propagation Of the faith
i'm China with greatly renewed zeal.
The movement is one OF several de-
monstrattons with which the japanese
people are trying to emphasize their
national spirit, in connection with the
forthcoming ceremonies of accession
of the Emperor Yoshihito, and the
movement is s%iugularly noteworthy
because it was through China and
Korea that Buddhism came to Japan.
The force of Japanese missionaries
in China has already been increased,
and the campaign for further missiOn-
airy work is In fan swing The
movement is frankly explained as
both religious and political. Japan
has apparently come to the realization
that her missionaries can accomplish
great things in spreading the influence
of Japan in China and in impressing
in a friendly way the desires Of Japa-
nese to increase their prestige there.
Humanity and Charity.
The Buddhistlc leaders, especially
the progressive, contend that the
propagation If religion in China has
been monopoliZed too much by chris
tiuns and denied too much 90 japanese.
The object Of BuddhistiC propagation
in China should be attained, they de-
clare, on the principle Of humanity
and charity.
The Buddhist views have been set
forth i'm a memorial which has been
pTpgputa1 To the pO\prpmpUt and 10
every member of the diet. 1t points
out that the western powers, realizing
the great importance Of grasping the
mind OF the native population for eN-
tending their rights and interests in
China are giving every protection to
their missionaries. For the extension
of her religious propagation the Budd-
hists emphasize the fact that Japan is
in a very convenient position geo
graphically. Nevertheless neither gov
eminent nor publiclst seems to have
attached any Importance to the mat
ter. The attention Of philosophical
men has been too much concentrated
on the material side of Japan's in
%terests; not enough men have turned
their attention to the spiritual side Of
Japan's interests, represented by the
extension Of religion in China.
The memorial goes on to affirm
that the past efforts Of the Buddhists
have not been appreciated, and nave
proved of little avail. Enormous
sums of money had been expended
In erecting religious Headquarters in
China and in sending missionaries 10
that country. Noble leaders mad pen
