AWAKENING HAT1oNa1rsN

HE spread OF natonallsm is broadcast. AS
ignorance is banished and illiterate people stir
into wakefulness, self government is being clam
CURED for. The possibilities OF nations long subject
to the draining hand Of foreign control, are being
vsualized By tAe natives and there is consequent
wave Of unrest and protest that Is mounting higher
AMI higher.
England is straining every resource, both
compelling and conclliating TO hold India, but even
tie English press expresses doubt over the outcome
asserting II the teeming millions OF Indians, or
ganized, and In accord, demand Englands with.
drawal, there will be nothing to do but comply.
1t is curious that the years of British control OF
India, teaching the principles of government, laws
OF sanitation, medical knowledge, oil srrts OF
beuefcIent civilization should, in the end form a
boomerang In awakening a latent intelligentt to
the possibilities OF progressive India governed by
Indians AMI native populace made rich and
powerful by the infinite natural wealth OF that great
nation.
TIC FIlipinos are importuning the United States
for self government and while they are not form-
dable CROUCH. as is India to compel permission, yet
they will not cease to clamor, until they receive
what they desire. Africa for Africans is a slogan
echoing from that far off land of SANKEY'S long
step from the sayagery which the grent explorer
found is the present day Africa with its new dream
OF natonallsm.
India Africa, the Filipines. are not yet ready FOR
SET government. Left to themselves they would
face problems that their education could not solve,
they woull suffer disaster th9t they could not plan
to avoid. but the question remains, how much longer
will there be subject nations on earth: How much
longer are aer hands going to be tolerated. These
uninvel. unwanted white rulers over the destines
of the brown and black races arc being unmtstak-
ably shown the door.

While tie inquiry Of the Digest brought out5a
great variety Of opinions, as naturally would be
the, case, yet there seemed to be perTa&sng
sentiment Of caution present together with the
sympathy for France which the preponderance OF
the correspondence expressed. 1t is not the
intention of ae great powers to permit Germany to
ever arm herself and swagger over Europe Ike a
berserker again At the first hint of any such
activity there will be prompt action to destroy it.
Since this is true If France persists in pling up her
armament. in keeping her enormous army recruited
up to standard, in holding fast to her submarines,
and constantly girding herself for battle, now does
America know. but that in case of future war,
France herself may invite attack by an overbearins
insolence that no nation could endure, least of all
Germany who nourishes great bitterness
There might be much to be said on the other
