Yellow Peril Is Industrial
Belief of Sir Douglas Haig

battalions brought to France during
the war and can bear witness to its
efficiency. The time must come when
the Chinese will demand place in
the European and American labor
market, competing with our highly
paid labor and our infinitely higher
standards of living. For instance. |
have read that in certain parts of
China the cost of raising coal to the
pit-mouth is one shilling. sixpense
(37 cents) a ton; compare that with
our five shillings in England.
again there's India with a popu
lation of over 300,000,000 souls. India
already is beginning to turn toward
social, industrial and political devel-
opment.'
Sir Douglas proposed a solution OF
what he believed to be the newt
able Asiatic problem which was far
different from the kaiser's curative
of terrorism.
Freedom the Solution.
"The solution of this problem" he
continued, "is part of the mission Of
the British empire in the world. In
a word, this tremendous problem !,
only capable of solution by giving to
all races, however insignificant, what
we proudly regard as British free
dom and justice, and thereby in the
course of many years levelling them
up to our own standards of life.
Only in this way may international
rivalries be confined within the
limits of peace. Only thus may the
tremendous pressure of economic
competition be prevented from driv-
ing whole continents into war. Be-
cause of the realization of these
facts l believe it was that some
thing of the idea of an economic
and Industrial side of world life has
been woven into the league >of ma

Of such an opportunity to secure per

1t was explained by Mr.. Moore that
the construction of these highways
would not be the end of state aid, but
be given for the construction of all

and government, but that all of them
could not be built at one time. He
said that under the present road law
Of Maury county there would be suffi'
Gent income, after the maintenance
of these AZ miles is taken from the
county, to improve and maintain all
the other roads in the county, pay
the interest on the bonds for the con-
struction of this permanent system
and create a small sinking fund.
Many questions were asked Mr..
Moore, all of which he answered clear
ly and when the final vote on the prop
osition came it was unanimous in IA
vor of asking the county court to is
sue the bonds. Adequate authority
for the issuance of these bonds al
