TNTERNATIONALISM is the death of democ-
racy.
1t is one of those evident and elementary
facts which for most of have long been hidden by
phrases. The complete cosmopolitan theory must,
In practice, mean the extinction of all experiments
IN popular rule
The case for democracy is that the Hampshire
people can rule Hampshire; and so they can. They
really are the best judges of whether the New
Forest is dangerous innovation They really are
the best judges of whether their part of Salisbury
Plain Shall be left plain be colored with orna-
mental flower gardens. If difference of opinion
arose between the rustcs of Wessex and religious
reformer who wished to pull down Salisbury Cathe-
dral and repair Stonehenge for renascence of the
Nature Worship of the Druids | would democratic
cally submit to the decision of the rrstics for l
know what the decision will be-
Democracy Begins at Homeland Stays There.
But the moment we say that the men Of Hamp-
shire can help to govern Hongkong we hit democ-
racy In its one weak spot We create at one stroke
privileged class; the class of the people who have
been to Hongkong. They are polished and charm
ing coterie, but they are not the people of Hamp-
shire
You have established an oligarchy of globe trot-
fers This is bad enough, but your condition is
really worse. You not only ruled by anybody
who has been to China, but by anybody who says
he has been to China, or by anybody who says he
knows all about it even without going to China.
At the best this is not being governed by the laws
or by the songs of people, but simply by its travel
lers tales. At the worst it is being governed by
experts that is by egoiss who actually assert their
own expertness, and those who thus trust them
selves are never to be trusted.
Hampshire Can Govern Hampshire.
But am not trying to show here that it is not
desirable arrangement, but only that it is not
democratic arrangement. A people can rule itself,
but the more peoples you add to the fewer people
will rule. The larger is the league of kingdoms the
smaller will be the group of kings.
In short, shall continue to hold that Hampshire
can govern Hampshire; and even (if may be so
ippant) that she be mistress of herself though
China fall. l shall paradoxically proclaim that
Hampshire men are the best authorities on Hamp-
shire hogs; but that they may know all about pigs
without knowing all about PITFALLS
This view makes my opinion about the Far East

largely one of Agnosticism or to express myself in
a more Christian fashion, of ignorance. But it
would be very unfair to fail to distinguish between
the expert of the East who is a mere mystagogue,
and probably therefore mere mountebank and the
expert who is not only expert in knowing things,
but expert in explaining them.
Japan Moves North"
l should give high and glorious place, for in
stance, in the aristocracy of globe troters to that
admirable war correspondent Frederic Coleman,
who published with Messrs. Cassell short time ago
most interesting sketch of recent events in Siberia
1t is called Japan Moves North, which might be
understood by too literal mind to record an ex-
traordinary geographical cataclysm; possibly
result of one of the well known Japanese earth
quakes
As fact it is an exceedingly able and rational
account of the japanese movement toward Vladi-
vostok, as seen from the inside, by an American
journalist among japanese politicians and soldiers.
The question at issue is delicate one for
England and imagine still more so for America
and Il might even add) Australia But the reader
need have no fear that the reviewer will in this
matter play the clumsy cosmopolitan diplomatist.
am not member of the aristocracy of globe trot-
tiers, or of any other aristocraey.
l am a democrat, and l cling contentedy $50 to
speak, to my Hampshire hogs waowing in my
ignorance. This is no time for being antiJapa-
nese; and it should be added that Mr. Frederic Cole
man is very far from being fanatically proJapa-
nese He touches On the defects of our Allies in
Japan as he does on those of our other Allies in
Russia, but he feels his full responsibility to the
alliance. 7i
Let's Know, Even If We Can't Understand.
The only reason for which l recur to this par
ticular book, which has already received its just
tribute of respect in many quarters is that it hap
pens to illustrate my meaning as to the useful as
against the useless, method of international infor-
nation
There is one particular kind of mistake which
can really be made at end of the earth and can
really be corrected from the other 1t is news that
is portable, and especially exportable. 1t concerns
the actual grouping of parties the working alliances
which already exist, for whatever reason; the
points held controversially in common, whether
right or wrong.
Thus the intelligent Chinaman in Hongkong,

grasp the corresponding truths; these are things he
could know,even if he could net understand
The ChiRaman might not adequately sympathize
either with the religion practised In Salisbury
Cathedral with the slightly less popular religion
practised at Stonehenge. He might have somewhat
cloudy conception of the spiritual and emotional
content of both of them. But if he had been led to
believe that the rustics of Wessex were, as fact
anxious to revive the religion of the Druids, his
error could be corrected. He could be assured on
good authority that for leason or other, they
are not.
So it is very hard for us to judge Justly of the
ethical and social value of sects parties in the
Far East but We can be approximately right, we
can at any rate be saved from being absolutely
wrong about which of those sects or parties are act
ing with or against each other. We can be saved
from hopelessy mixing up their very names and
programmes. We may not understand what the
Montagus and Capulets are quarrelrng about, but
we need not, for instance call them Capagus and
Montalets.
Let's Know About Japan. If We4Iad Known
the Facts About Russia! If!
Thus Mr.. Coleman book has brought out one
fact unfamiliar to many people, but very important
for those people who have reasonable doubts about
our dealings with the vigorous power Of Japan.
The chief doubt might be summed up in the phrase
about Japan and her potential Prussianism; that
is militarism at one with materialism.
Now whatever in this matter be the truth, it is at
least worth knowing if it is fact, as Mr.. Coleman
noted, that there is a Japanese party taking its
militarism from Prussia and for that very reason
opposed to the present war with Prussia The
paradox is, apparently that there is mllltarist
party but it is now the pacifst party.
This means, presumably, that it is the more
liberal or humanitarian element that has moved
north" and not the more imperialst and ambitious.
How humane that humanitarianism really is, how
imperiast that imperialism really is, IL is very hard
for us to Judge but it makes great difference If it
is only the mildest Montagu CT the least quarrel
some Capulet. And it is possible that if this juster
sort of journalism had given clearer and more
patient account of political groups from the Begin
ming something might have been done to avert the
colossal collapse of Russia. G. K. CHEsTEsToN.
