sweepinE character. But the posi-
bility exists, nevertheless, as I shall
endeavor to show.
with the beginning of the twen-
tieth century white supremacy was as
absolute in industry as 1t was In
politics and war. Even the civflized
brown and yellow peoples were nesli-
gible from the industrial point OF
view. Asia was economically on an
agricultural basis.
SIGNS OF ACTIVITY.
Down to the close Of the nineteenth
century. however, Asia began to show
signs of an economic activity as
striking in its way as the activity
which Asia was displaying in ideal
istic and political fields.
Japan had already laid the founda-
tion Of her nourishing industrial life,
based on the most up-to-date Western
models. while in other Asiatic lands,
notably in China and India, the whir
of machinery and the smoke of tall
factory chimneys proclaimed that the
East was fsthomlng the Industrial
secrets OF the West.
An American economic writer. Clar-
ence Poe. says:
I'VE must face in ever.increasing
degree the rivalry of awakening peo-
pies who are strong with the strength
that comes from struggle with pow
erty and hardship, and who have set
themselves to master and apply all
our secrets in the coming world
struggle for industrial supremacy
and for racial resdjustment."
And more recently another Ameri-
can observer of Asiatic economic con-
ditions reports: "All Asia Is being
permested with modern industry and
present-day mechanical progress"
Take. for example, the momentous
possibilities involved In the industrial
awakening Of China. Hitherto China
virtually had no exploitation OF her
mineral wealth and no industry in the
modern sense. But the day when
any considerable fraction OF China's
aborfous miIlione turn from the

The majority of Americans do not bsleve this Which

Warning to White Races of Yellow Peril

and her menacing potential strength and resources
The Yellow Peril is THE ONE VAST MENACE
WHICH THE FUTURE HOLDS FOR US.
Many of you will live to see in bitter humiliation, these

preparation on land and
Japan permitted to fasten her grip upon China and
to exploit for her military all the and terri
tory of that huge populous and potentially hugely rich
ancient empire she set upon in less than decade
with such force and power that may be unable to pro-
tect people and territory from the overwhelming
onslaught.
Day by day we play Japan's game while her states
men sneer in their sleeves at our stupidity.
She has forcibly seized and exploited Korea she has
violated the neutrality and territory of China she controls
and to annex all Manchura; she has seized and is

against the Philippines and Hawaii she has equipped and

OvERCAME FAILINGs.
The way in which Japanese indus
try. with all its faults, is perfecting
both its technic and its methods shows
that these failings will be gradually
overcome. and indicates that, within
generation, Asiatic industry will
probably be sufficiently advanced to
supply at least the Asiatic home mar
kets with most of the staple manu-
factures.
Moreover, the Japanese supplement
ed these spontaneous popular move
ments by systematic governmental
discrimination in favor OF Japanese
products and the elimination of white
competition from Japan and it's de-
tendencies. This Japanese policy had
been markedly successful, and skcula
Japan's present hegcmony over China
be perpetuated, the white man may
soon nnd himself economic ally ~ well
ss politically expelled from the whole
Far East.
Looking a trine further. we can also
see that industrialization would stim-
ulste a further prodigious increase OF
population. Today Asia. though stili
upon a basis as agricultural as eight
eenth century Europe. contains fully
900. 100000 people. That even a par

from improbable
but this would mean vastly In .

bounds OF As's. II would mean in.
tensifed encroachment, not only upon
areas OF white settlement. but perhaps
even more upon non-Asiatic colored
regions Of white political control like
Africa and tropical America.
Here again we see why the white
