The Outer Dikes.
THE rising tide OF color today
finds itself confronted by
= dikes erected by the white race
during the centuries OF its expan-
The white defenses against the
colored tide can be divided into what
may be termed the "outer" and the
sinner" dikes.
:. The outer dikes (the regions of
white political controD contain no
settled white population. so that
their abandonment, whatever the po-
litical or economic loss, would not di-
rectly affect white race integrity.
The inner dikes tthe areas Of white
setlement). however, are a very diff
ferent matter. Peopled as they are
wholly or largely by whites, they
have become parts of the race-herit-
age, which should be defended to the
last extremity, no matter II the costs
involved are greater than their mere
economic value would warrant.
They are the true .bulwasks of the
race, the patrimony Of future kenera-
tiens who have . right to demand Of
us that they shall he born white In y
white mans land.
FERMENT IS GROWING.
Let us examine the matter OF the
outer dikes-the regions of white po
i.ticai control.
One thing 10 certain: the white man
will have to recognize that the prac-
tically absolute world dominion
which he exercised during the nine
, teenth century can no longer be main
tafned. Largely because Of that very
dominion, colored races have been
drawn out Of their traditional isola-
tion and have been quickened by
white ideals. while the hfe-conserving
nature of white rule has everywhere
favored colored multiplication. These
facts have been combined to produce
q widespread ferment which has been
clearly visible for the past two dec
AIDES, and which is destined to grow
more acute in the near future.
This ferment would have developed
oven II the great war had never oc-
Cured. However, the white worlds
weakening through Armageddon has
Immediately accelerated the process.
Especially HIS 1t evoked In belli-
eoue and fanatical minds the vision
Of q .pan-colored' alliance for the
universal otherthrOVv OF white heEe-
nsony at q single stroke-a dream
which would turn into = nigh tnsare
Of a race war beside which the late
strugE1e in Europe would seem the
veriest child's play.
AsIA's RENAISSANCE.
The effective centers Of colored
unrest are the brown and yellow
worlds Of Asia Both these worlds
are not merely in negative opposi-
ton to white hegemony, but are ex--
perisncing a real renaissance, whose
Genuineness 10 best attested by the
fact that 1T is a faithful replica of
similar movements in past times.
That this profound Asiatic renais-
sance will eventually result in the
substantial elimination OF white po-
utieal control from Anatolia to the
Philippines is as natural n 1t II In
svitable.
{ II Asia Is today really renascent
Asia will ultimately reap the politi-
cal fruits. Men worthy of independ-
ence will sooner or later get inde-
pendence.
II, then Asia deserves to be free,
she will be free. The only question
is how she will attain her freedom.
Shall it be an evolutionary process,
crsaall 1t come through cataclysmic
revolution?
I'm perialists should ponder who OBJ.
ject to any relaxation of white po-
litical control over Asia because of
the value of the subject regions
The need for sympathetic open
rnindedness toward awakening Asia,
II cataclysmic disaster Is to be
averted, becomes all the clearer
when we realize that on important
issues lying outside Asia the white
world must resolutely oppose Asiatic
desires.
CHECK RISING TIDE.
In my opening chapters I discussed
the rapid growth of Asiatic popula-
tions and the resultant steadily aug.
menting outward thrust OF surplus
Asiatic principally yellow men, but
also in lesser degree brown men)
from overcrowded homelands toward
the less crowded regions of the earth.
IL r. In fact AsistIcs. and above all
Mongolian Asisttc~. who form the Arrt
waves Of the rtsinG tide Of color. Un-
fortunately, the white world cannot
permit this rtsinG tide free scope.
white men cannot. under peril Of
their very rsee eSistepc~. allow whole
sale inmigrsticp into white vsce
nr~s..
Our race duty Is. therefore, clear.
We must resolutely oppose both
hsiatic permeation OF white race areas
and Asiatic inundation OF those nom
white. but equally non-Asistic re-
gions inhabited by the really ipfe-
