Treating the primary race stocks as
units, 1t would appear that whites
tend to double in eighty years yell
lows and browns in sixty years,
blacks in forty years.
Now what must be the inevitable
result? 1t can mean only one thing;
a Tremendous and steadily augment
| ing outward thrust OF surolrs col
ored men from overcrowded eolored,
homelands. Remember A1at these
home Glands arc already, populated mp
no the available limits of subsistence.
Where, then, should the contested
celOred world tend TO pour Its ne
fcumulating human surplus, inexOr-
ably condemned to emisratc or

The answer Is: Into those emptier
regions of the earth under white
political control But many of these
relatively empty lands have been
definitely set aside by the white man
as his own special heritage. The
upshot is that the rising flood of color
finds itself walled in by white dikes
debarring it from many. promised
land.
Thus the coIored world, long res
tive under white political domination

darity OF feeling against the dOmi-

The imperious urge of the colored
world toward racial expansion was
well visualized by that keen English
student Of world affairs, DR.. f, ]. Dill
lon, when he wrote more than
decade ago.

A: Japanese scholar. Prof. Ryutaro
Sagal, writes:
'"The world is not made. for the
white races, but for the other races
as well. In Australia. South Africa,
Canada and the United states there
are vast tracts OF unoccupied territory
awaiting settlement, and although the
citizens of the ruling powers refuse to
take up the land no yellow people are
permitted to epter" ... ,....,- g..
The bitter resentment of white pre-
dominance and exclusivepess awak-
cncd in many colored breasts is typi.
fed by the following lines penned by
brown man, British educated
AfGhan. shortly before the European
war. He exultanuy predicts "a. com
ing struggle between Asia. all Asia.
against Europe and America. You
are deaf to the voice of reason and
fairness. and SO you must be taught
with the whirrlng swish of tho sword
when it is red"
Down to the close of the nineteenth
century. the colored races accepted
white hegemony as a disagreeable but
inevitable fact. During the closing
decades OF the nineteenth century
premonitory signs OF change In atti-
tude began to appear.
