the japanese immigrants could rea-

Or Ka2utami Ukita. the historian
and well known editor OF the Talyo
Magazine, discusses American ques-
lions in a leading article on the effect
| of the effect Of the Russo Japanese
alliance In the control or domination
of the Pacific He believes that by
that alliance Japan has strengthened
| her position IN the Asiatic continent.
Pointing out that during the war
| the Pacific ocean will be exclusively
dominated by Japan, Great Britain
and the United States, DR.. Ukita says
that the United States with It's steady
naval expansion Will become the
greatest naval power in the Pacific in
the future. He added; IF Japan
Great Britain and the United States
cooperate peacefully In the Pacific,
and derive the common benefits ac-
cruIng therofrom, tranquility will
reign In the Pacific ocean; but IL a
peaceful cooperation among these
three powers should be found diff
cult, the Pacific may be turned into
hostile area and the world may wit
ness another great war, At any rate
the relations among these three
powers in the Pacific are worthy of
special study and we have no doubt
that the new Russo Japanese agree
ment will have a very important eff
feet thereon"
But Or. Ukita thinks it Is either
impossible or unnecessary for any of
these three powers to monopolize the
sea power in the Pacific. Il will be
sufficient for Japan, in his opinion, to
maintain such navy as will be COM
petent to protect her from foreign ag-
gression and insure the peace of the
Far East.
Contributors to Forum.
Other writer's participating in the
forum include Professor Shigeo Suye-
hiro, Of the Imperial University of
kioto; Shintaro Inagaki and Ejiro Hi
rano. Professor Suyehiro is rather
prominent from a trip he made TO
Mexico when he interviewed President
Madero ana was heartily welcomed,
The other contributors are little
known.
Writing in the Central Review DR..
Suyehiro expresses gloomy forebod-
ings for the future of the so-called
American problems. lie fears that
after the war America with her vast
wealth will prove a keen competitor
for Japan In the markets of China
which may lead to political friction.
Also, he believes that the immigra-
ton question il a vital problem for
the japanese people whose future ex-
pansion depends upon the manner in
which 1t Is solved. He insists that
Americas treatment of Japanese in
jures Japan's prestige with the Chi
nese, who will never regard Japan as
an equal of the European powers "To
solve our Chinese questions complete
"" he concluded, 1--WE must solve the
American question"
TO give an idea Of the viewpoint of
the sensational writer's, there are the
words of Mr.. InagalSi who says. THE
chief motive of the new American mil.
itarism is first to defend the United
States against a possible attack from
Germany and Japan, and, second to |
contend for supremacy In the Orient. !
In short. America has an uneasy con-
science over the stopping of Japanese
and Is conjuring up fear |
ful hobgoblins of all sorts from her
own troubled conscience. Witness the |
ridiculous Magdalena bay incident"
