The Orientals In the War
eY OR. FRANK CRANE
Copyright. 1915. by Frank Crane)

Shall China and Japan be welcomed
as allies of equal standing with America
and France in this war;
Yesl For many reasons.
1t will help to dissipate that old buga-
boo of the yellow Peril. For many years
western peoples have been frightened by
nursery tales of the danger of the
heather East Certain newspapers,
partly ignorant and mostly vicious, have
not scrupled 10 play upon race preju-
dice i'm their cndeavor 20 arouse suspi-
cion and foment hostility toward Japan.
There never was the slightest founda-
tion TO this nefarous propaganda. China
has never been nation of conquest.
Japans aspirations of expansion have
never reached to the West.
The world has discovered that there
is but one peril. but one fevered modern
nation that has had the nightmare of
universal dominion il is that nation
which is now at war with the rest Of
mankind that nation whose cry is Welt
macht oder Niedcrgang.
For the orientals TO join us in our
present struggle, as honorcd companions
at arms. would thus forever do away
with the dangerous fiction of the Yellow
Peril and show Us that the real peril lies
in any nation that gives itself UP to
mihtaristic vanity
It would also hasten world peace, for
it would finally array the habitable world
against Prussian junkerdom.
It would promote the prospects Of
world government For it would tend TO
bring about that consciousness Of world
solidarity Of interests, that sense Of
world unity. which alone will be able in
the future to prevent such pestilential
outbreaks Of egotiStic nationalism as
Germany has exhibited.
The millions Of the East are not to be
ignored A place belongs to them at the
council table Of the world. They have
right to a voice in the coming con-
cIaye Of nations which shall take up the
task. at the conclusion Of this war, Of
making the world safe against the super
heated vanity Of any one militarstic
nation.
The entrance Of the yellow men and
the brown men into this conflict will give
TO ii the character il should have-that
Of the world struggling to find and tie
burglar. and not that Of one nation be-
ing jealous OF another.
This war is not France seeking ven
geance for 1870 against her former con-
queror. it is not EnqIand's envy Of Ger
many. nor Russia's ambition in the
Balkans. nor Italy's hate against AUS
tria. All these are are minor flames dex
trously famed by German intrigue. But
they have been swallowed up in the
mighty confagration Of world on fire.
The war now is everybody against
Germany, Austria and Turkey. Every
body against the breakers of treaties
and the bringers of savage frightfulness
into modern war Everybody against
the assassins Of Serbia and Armenia and
the rapers Of Belgium.
This is a war Of mankind against the
common enemy, and surely the orientals
are human, and as such have their place
in the fight
