Centenary Convention 10 Told.

Des Moines, March 7.-"Unless pol
Icy OF cooperation and justice Is enr-
sued IN the dealings with the yeuo"
races, another and more serious con-
flict than the war now ending In Eu-
rope Is in store for the white race
Bishop Wilson s. Lewis Of China, told
the aIl-Iowa world program centenary
convention OF the Methodist church
here today.
"One OF the great causes that may
lead 10 difficulty with the yellow races
is the past injustices Of the white man
toward other races" the bishop con-
tinued. Europe owns the black man
home in Africa, except the Sahaia
desert. Europe owns India, ana the
white man controls Malaysia,
Even now the white man seeks 10
control China and threatens to carve
up China as a sailor carVes up
whale, The United States alone STANDS
for non-aggi essiveness among the yell
low people. The yellow man is tremol-
ing with fear in every joint. and rear
is a forerunner OF war.
The yellow man knows the policy
of the white man in the past ana
breads him. He has had 70 concede
ex-territoriality rights in all his great
ports, and the countries OF Europe
and America function in all Of them.
This whole idea is one of the potent
causes OF trouble just ahead.
Japs Seeks to Dominate East.
"Japan's policy is to secure domin-
alton among the yellow people. IL
knows the arts Of war as well as any
nation. Its government is modelled ar
ter the old German government. so
are its schools and army. Its navy Is
modelled after the English navy. Just
now Japan controls either by treaty
or mortgage on money loaned China
the great and most important districts
Of China and most of her railroad sys-
TENS and mines.
THE one nation that can stand as
an arbiter in this hour and success
fully prevent a contest for supremacy
that might result between the white
and yellow races. is the United states.
China loves the United States. In
1914. when war broke out, Great Brit
ain, France and later Italy brought all
Of their diplomatic power to bear upon
China to cause her to declare war
against Germany and Austria. Japan
also brought pressure Of all kinds. but
China refused.
I'm April. 1917. President Wilson re-
cognized a state Of war and cabled to
the president Of China inviting China
to join the United States against Ger
many and Austria. Inside OF three
weeks China declared war. This Is
significant. and 1t shows the standing
Of the United States in China"
