London, Feb. ~. (By Mail.)--A vast
war between the Yellow and Black
races for supremancy of the world
that is the possibilities seen by S. S.
Mcclure, American publisher, after a
long trip trought the orient.
In long article in the "Times" Nc
Clure gives his reasons for believing
such war is inevitable. His main
point is that Japan, China and the
Mongolan races are animated by the
most powerful elemental of human
reasons in the necessity of expan-
sion. He foresees that the Moham-
medan world and the black race of
Africa. would be impelled to join the
Yellow races, because they have been
under the subjugation of the White
races.
The article urges the vital necessity
of an understanding between Britain
and the United States, the two most
powerful representatives of the White
race, to defend the interests of the
Caucasian races against the yellow
Peril" Mcclure says:
"The policies of Japan are deter
mined by the most fundamental force
in nature-that is, the struggle to
make living. No nation in the world
needs room as much as Japan and for
the Japanese there is no part of the
world so desirable as North America.
We find the same condition in China
The struggle for land has caused in
Vulnerable wars in Europe for hun
dreds of years. The coming struggle
for land will be on the scale of con.
tinents and hemispheres. There is
another struggle looming in the fu-
ture which will include also the peo-
pie of Africa against the dominance
of the White race.
1T can be seen that the White race
has secured an undue proportion of
the choicest portions of the globes;
that the White race has. frequently
with cruelty and injustice, ruled over
the colored peoples-that these peo-
pies are bound to fight against the
dominance of the whites: and that
! Just as Japan has mastered all the ma
chinery of war, so may many of the
other peoples of Africa and Asia"
Mcclure writes that If the rulers of
Russia should follow their present
policy of working With the peoples of
Asia, the world is facing conflict
that will be much more terrible than
the last war.

ings. II says I'VE are not all dispos-
ed to set aside as chimerical the very
grave warning given by Mr.. Mcclure.
All war is at the bottom caused by
pressure OF population. and the East
and even in Africa. that pressure is
becoming heavier and heavier every
day"
The same pressure OF population
that drove Attila and Tamerlane and
Chingiz westward is most keenly felt
today" the Gloge says. "China feels
herself n giant in cage and the sixty
millions OF Japanese, snatching the
barest living from an inhospitable
soil. turn their eyes with longing to
the rich and as yet unexhausted lands
across the Pacific. We. the British
and Americans. no longer posses any
superiority In weapons. The crisis
may come much more quickly than
we imagine. At no period In the
/ worlds history have events moved so
rapidly as they have done In this"
