July appears an article on "The japanese
Point of View" by F. w. Henshaw, Asso-
ciate Justice of the Supreme Court of Cali
fornia, which contains this statement:
Public discussion of our present and fut-
ure relations with Japan has been left al
most wholly to the demagogues of politics
and 10 the press. Even our government has
done nothing to dsabuse the minds of our
people of the ridiculous fear of the Menace
of Japan, or the yellow Peril When 1t
should have spoken aloud it has remained
silent, or has whispered timorously behind
covering hand in the ear of state authori-
ties"
And in another place he defends the
"Asia for Asiatics" policy:
"She Japan learned that China was to
go the way of the rest, and she learned the
Northumberland self-imposed on unwill-
ing nations; capital invested, and the ap-
peals of capitalists to protect their invest
ments; interposition by their governments;
reparaton demanded and exacted in the form
of territorial allotments creating spheres of
influence; fertilization, domination, owner
ship. China, notwithstanding her immense
population, presents great field for de-
velopment of many kinds She lacks every
thing of modernty. Manufacturers, rail-
roads, mines, are all for the future Who
should do this development? The European
nations who, with both hands full, were still
grasping for more, Japan, who needed
room for expansion and whose propinquity
and historical associations justified her in
extending her protection over her neighbor?
What more natural than The Orient for
Orientals'?
"She saw other nations growing feverish
over the situation and feeling for their own
spheres of influence in China. She saw
China republic in which not one man in
thousand knew the fact or would have
understood the meaning OF the word if told
the fact. And she saw that it was high time
if the Orient was to be held for the 0rientals,
that helpless China be made 70 understand
that Japan and Japan alone would exercise
hegemony over the Orient.
This, then, is the fundamental of her
national policy: the hegemony OF the Orient;
and with what western nation lies the right
10 say her nay7 She will welcome the in
vestment Of western capital in the develop
ment OF Oriental countries, but she will not
permit those investments to serve as ex-
cuses for establishing spheres of influence
She herself will undertake that all such in
vestments are duly protected"
1t is probable that, at best, the agitation
for FANTASIA involves a union of only the
Monaghan races. Little is heard from
England's great province, India. 1t would
seem that the problem concerns principal
ly Japan and China.

The Right to Rum Is One
i OF the mathematics

General Appleton's petition TN the Mas
sachusetts LEGISLATURE provided that the
sale Of liquor in any quantity less than
thirty gallons should be forbidden by law.
He meant this as the first step toward alb
solute prohibition. The agent of the Mas
sachusetts Temperance Society, the Rev.
Mr.. Hildreth, bounced upon it as a mis-
ohievous measure. His opinion evidently
was that among the "inalienable rights
of man was the right to rum. He fairly
represented the timid public opinion OF
that day.
At this point it is bess to return to Eng
land, where, in 1853, reacting to the slim
illus radiating from the celebrated Maine
activities, the United Kingdom Alliance
was formed at Manchester. And next one
is invited to observe that the temperance
movement on the continent-that is, the
movement to1vard prohibition-"had its be-
ginning in Norway and Sweden in 1880,
and spread to Germany and thence to Aus
tria about the middle of the nineteenth
century"
Mr.. Hayler was an optimist. "The rise
and progress of the modern temperance
movement he says, sis one Of the mar
yels of a wonderful century, And he
adds: at was commenced in the dawn OF
the nineteenth century by humble work
ing people
A certain DR.. G.. B. Clark, who formed
an organization "to combat the evils Of IN
temperance at Moreau, Saratoga and New
York, evidently took a rather more pessi'

after distinction came TO be drawn, and for
many wears was observed, between wine and
cider. which were considered entirely
proper beverages, and ardent spirits. For
wears even those who manifested deem in
terest in the subject felt called upon 10
pledge themselves only to moderation, and,
indeed. considered it unwise to advocate the
abandonment Of the lighter grades OF in
toxicatng liquors.
81 remember no agency that had greater
influence in arousing attention than the
famous six sermons of DR.. Lyman Beecher
of New York"
In these sermons, in describing the infiu-
ence of liquor establishments in COM
munity, DR.. Beecher would employ such
expressions as these:
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1917-07-08

ROVER of a most eficacious legislation.
Much power is given to you to check and
,xtirpate this evil and TO roll down the dis
tant ages broader and deeper and purer
the streams of national prosperity"
DR.. Beecher, Neal Dow affirms, was one
of the earliest, ablest and most devoted
friends of the temperance cause.
NO man did more than ne to arouse the
people TO realize the evils OF irtemper-
ance and to stimulate them to active meas
ures to check its progress. He suggested
very clearly that any permanent change Tor
the better in the habits OF the people would
be improbable, if not impossible, without the
suppression by law of the traffic in intoxi-
eating liquors"

equally hopeless Kokumin and allied parties,
and the Indian revolutonaries and agitators
who claim that India aspres to national
freedom and groans under British tyranny"
These extracts from the japanese press
are startling in their significance. An
article in Marquis Okuma's "Shin Nip
pom" by Dr. Nagase Hosuke, of the Cen
cral Army Staff, reads:
an protesting against any attempt on the
part Of the European powers to drive the
Turks out of Europe simply because they
belong to an Asiatic race, deem it most
proper and effective plan for the japanese
to take an active part in all undertakings
calculated to develop Turkey, and | suggest
that a demand to reserve such rights for
her should be put forth by Japan.
81 should also like to have Japan demand
autonomy for he Indians, but this would
be equivalent to interfering with the domestic
administration of Britain, Japans ally"
In an article translated by the Japan
Advertiser" of April 1, the "Chuwo" voices
the FANTASIA yearning for the expulsion
Of the white man from Asia in the fol-
lowing terms:
Does no. the root Of world evil, frankly
speaking, lie in the ambition OF Europe and
America in Asia? If Europe would give up
her ambition in Asia, where will the root OF
world evil remain? Speaking more concrete
ly, If England would give up India, If Holland
would give up the so-called Dutch possessions.
if England, Russia. and Germany would give
up their hunger for plumber in Persia, the
peace Of the world could be established at
once"
FREDERICK MOORE, in the current
l. issue of ASIA" writes in this strain
concerning Japan's attitude
"There are persons who seek to make an
analogy between the japanese position with
regard to China and that Of the United States
! in relation TO South and Central America.
The Monroe Doctrine has proven itself to
be in fact what its words describe, measure
| for our own defence and that Of the Ameri-
! can states TO the south. we set no restraint
! and exercise no coercion on these states. We
ask them for no special privileges, no ABB
negation or dminution of their rights II
the japanese position in regard to China is
| Ike our attitude toward South America, 1t
! is praiseworthy policy"
Charles E. L. Thomas, also writing in
asia" believes the present doubt as to
Japan's motives rests most largely upon
the fact that Japan is herself uncertain.
The writer says:
81 believe that the occasional difficulty en-
countered by other nations in understanding

that the Japanese themselves are troubled
over their national future in the large af'
fsire of the world. Jspsn's rise TO the statu,

Despt this fact, however, the japanese
have been satisfied with their national
achievements that such theories as that of a
Monroe Doctrine for Asia, or Pan-Asianism,
ere held in certain sections of the nation.
These people are shallow enough to hope for
the passing of European influence from Asia.
The japanese must be more humble and try
to increase their real strength. instead OF
Boosting of their supposed power Self-con-
oeit brings about moral degeneration.
Japan is expanding. There are Japanese
residing in nearly all parts OF the world.
Therefore there is no need for aggression on
our part; we are expanding by peaceful
means"

Japan is now a creditor nation in interna-
tional finance, tremendously important
turning point in her career.
A note of warning to his people has been
uttered by Dr. Suyehiro Shigeo, of kioto
University, urging more pacific policy
and an abandonment of the plan to annex
China, "lest Japan become embroiled IN
conflict with the United States" But MILL
tarism, aggression and expansion have
firmly seized the now enriched japanese,
and under the cloak of FANTASIA" Japan
is said to propose TO unite all Asia against
the Occident, with herself and her navy
as the guardian Of the gate.
UDAN-ASIA" is too large for = single
i concept, according to writer in
"The Far Eastern Review" For the Mongo-
lians occupy only two-thirds Of it, exclu-
sive of Russia, which is only in part ORR
entail. India, Persia and Turkey are
Aryan. These have no love for the doni-
I mating heel of the white man, yet neither
have they anything in common with the
| 'Prussians Of Asia" (the Japanese).
| Fiercely do the Afghan princes and the
Hindu satraps VOW a day Of vengeance
against the Europeans and dream OF
/ FANTASIA of Aryans, but the japanese
visions are not the visions of India. "The
i Far Eastern Review" gives an admirable
analysis of the situation in these words:
Founded upon the exceedingly dubious
principle that All Asia is One movement
toward the political unity of the Orient
and the exclusion Of Occidental interests
from the Far East is being actively pro-
NOTED by certain politicians in China, India
and Japan. The political records OF the
apostles Of the Pan-Asian creed are guaran-
tees OF the chaos-making tendencies of any
undertaking with which they associate them
selves, while the pro-German associations OF
those who have most recently given some
publicity TO the aims and purposes Of Pan
Asianism give a sinister coloring TO VIVA,
might otherwise be regarded as the vapor-
ings of chronic obstructionists.
"Pan-Asiansm is anti-foreign. II
is Boxerism in more modern and less barbariC
garb. As a matter Of expediency it is for the
time being pro-Germsn rather anti-Americar
and particularly anti-British. Its immediate
object is an alliance of all Asistic nations
under the guidance If not the actual hege-
mony Of Japan, the emancipation of all the
Asiatic peoples from Western political in
auenee, and the enforcement Of the occidenti
recognition Of an Asiatic Monroe Doctrine.

N Peking to brighten Occidentals by
It's bulky and menacing shape. Pan
Asiaticism is merely an euphemism for
Japan uber Allies" according to some
Anglo-Saxon writers in the Orient.
Our ally in the Orient has set up Mon
roe Doctrine for Asia, with herself as the
patron saint of Asiatics. In assertion OF
her guardianship she resents the efforts OF
English and Americans TO seduce China
into war with Germany. At the same time
Japan has largely given up thought Of an
alliance with Germany, having lost faith
in German ascendency. An internal Ash
attic alliance against all Occidental nations
seems therefore to have largely supplanted
other policies.
The Chinese revolt is one of the symp-
toms. General Chang Hsun, the military
adventurer, has declared for the restora-
ton of the Manchu dynasty, and the Man
ohu Emperor, Hsuan Tung, has proclaimed
himself ruler of all China. Premier Yuan
is accused of secretly negotiating loan
with japan. Through this alleged pact
Japan was to get control of the Chinese
army. Developments are expected now in
rapid succession.
These manifestations Of the Pan-Aslatic
movement arc accompanied by outspoken
japanese statements declaring her willing
ness TO fight for domination IN China.
Kazan Kayahara, formerly editor of the
"Yorodzu" Of Toxic, at present IN New
York, says that "the moment any Euro
pean or American nation thinks of exclud-
ing Japan from China Jepan will fight"
The need for an exchange Of views be-
tween Washington and Toxic is thus seen

cried: "Unless something is done 70 stop
drinking we shall certainly become COM

In 1914, according to Mr.. HayIer, the
United Brethren in Christ adopted RUE
that "everv member shall abstain from
strong drink and use it only when necessity
reouires it as medicine" In 1918 the
Presbvterians Of Geneva County, n. l.,
resolved to abstain from the use Of ardent
spirits except for medicinal purposes In
1926 the American Temperance Society
was formed, when vigorous agitation was
commenced.
The International Order Of Good Tenn

tan Temperance Union in 1874, the Anti

For very many years intoxicating liquors
have been prohibited in the United States
