During the world war, DR.. Martin
was chairman Of the District Draft
Beard No. 1.
"we want no entangling alliance
with Japan. The four-power pact,
as we understand 1t, will probably
prove as unpopular with the Senate
and public opinion as the League OF
Nations" declared DIR. Martin.
1--WE hope 90. Japan Ii militaristic,
the soldier is the idol of her people,
and she has a more vaulting ambi-
ton for world empire than Ger
many had. A study Of her history
and q glance at the map OF the
world showing where Japan has al
ready spread her power and influ-
ence, proves this to be true.
Japan Would Menace.
Japan is today the menace Of the
world, the one great influence that
stands in the way Of peaceful ne
gotiations among the nations. The
thirteenth chapter Of the Book OF Rev
Citations speaks Of two great beasts.
III you will read that chapter in
the light Of recent events your COM
mon sense Interpretation win show
you that the first beast referred to
was Germany, the second beast,
japan.
TO deal with the second beast. which
II Japan. and II the civilized Chris
tian world does not look out II WIN
have more difficulty in disposing of
the second beast than Of the first.
In other words, Il will find Il harder
to conquer Japan than Germany.
There IL no question that Japan Is
bent on the conquest Of the world. A
few years ago people laughed at and
ridiculed Hobson because he predic-
ted trouble with Japan. We are now
waking up to realize that Hobson was
q better prophet than we gave him
credit for being.
world conditions show us, that we
have already arrived at the time when
the question Of the supremacy OF the
white man or the yellow man must be

for the Jap moves quickly.
The white man should give the
yellow man to understand In plain
language what his proper place in the
sun 10. The arms conference presents
the sorry spectacle Of white man con-
ciliating the yellow man, making all
kinds Of overtures and concessions to
keen him peaceful. BY its negotia-
tons he u elevated In the eyes Of the
world to be one Of the recognized four
great powers. 49,
THE white man acts a. though he
is afraid Of the yellow man and must
conciliate him at any cost.
Would II not be better to tell the
yellow man Just what his real
status In and that we intend he
should stay in the place where he

sit might not sound like diplomacy
| to speak SO plainly, but II would be
good judgment. II he IL not told to
stay in his proper place now, he win
be told SO later In another way. and
few plain, STRAIGHTFORWARD words
from our white statesmen will cost
less, FAR less, than the sacrifice Of
white mems blood.
Must Settle Issue.
'If the supremacy Of the white
man or the yellow man Is not settled
once and for all by the statesmen
of the allied white nations now. then
the time is coming and that time
IL not far away, when the mattep
win be settled by the heroes blood.
Contact with west civilization has
not changed to any appreciable ex-
tent the nature, ideals, habits or
even religion of the yellow man. He
IL still the yellow man. as different
from the white man as night Ii
from day. His actute intellect has
seized not upon the superior ethical,
moral and religious ideas Of the
| Christian, but has rather taken hold
on the material things Of our modern
civilization and incorporated them in
his national life for the one sole
purpose Of world conquest and
| domination.
saThe yellow man has been quick to
| utilize Western inventions. In fact,
he has built up his marvellous prog.
ress on Western ideas. He owes his
development entirely to ideas he has
taken from the West.
"The white mans confidence in
himself and trust In everybody else
yea, his ignorance Of what In really
eoing on in the world-has put him
10 sleep. Some day he may wake UP
out of his stupor when II is too late.
