ET7 ASHINGTON, Feb. 11.---While
WI President Coolidge hopefully
studies the ground prepara-
tory to calling second disarma
ment conference here. the situation
in the Far East assumes an uglier
aspect daily.
Dr. Sun Vat Sen. Chiha's most in.
fiuential leader. now comes forward
as the latest important convert to a
Pan-Asiatic coalition against the An.
glo-Saxon world, and has begun
openly to preach war against Eu-
rope.
Formerly Japan's bitterest enemy
in the Far East, DIR, Sun now calls
on Japan to take the leadership of
Asia to prepare the Orient for a ris-
ing against the Occident.
when these Asiatic nations rise
In unison for the decisive BATTLE" he
told Japan during an official visit
just paid to that country, the issue
cannot fail to be favorable to Asia.
Numerically speaking" he con-
tinued, "the Asiatics represent three
fourths OF the total population of the
world, aggregating 1000. 600, 900,
while the Europeans do not exceed
O0,0OO.0OO.
Minority vs., Majority
''It is incompatible with Justice
and humanity for. minority of
400 900 600 to Cypress a majority of
.2OO.OOo,ooO.
I'm order to have the Europeans
restore the rights of which they
have robbed Asia, an appeal to
arms is inevitable. since 1t is irnpos-
sible TO encompass the end by peace
full means
In this respect the two perfectly
Independent Asiatic States now in
existence-Japan, which has taken
the lead in studying and adopting
the warlike civilization of Europe
and is capable OF organizing and
working an army and navy, and
Turkey, which. despite the defeat in
the great war. has succeeded in driv-
ing the Europeans out Of the coun-
try-are the two great bulwarks OF
Asia.
fAs for my compatriots, counting
00,000,00, they too must take up
arms when their existence Is in
danger AS 1t is, China is wen
armed and her armaments viii be
largely increased when the country
Is unified
DR.. Sun calls this movement PAN
Asianism, and in addition to China
and Japan, he looks. to India, Turs
key, the rest of Asia, and Egypt
to join hands, with Russia as a
probably ally.
Anti Christian World
Meantime an Christian wave
is boosting Pan-Asianism and caus-
ing much concern to missionaries in
China. This has manifested itself
not only in the interior. but even in
westernized ports like Shanghai.
To cite an instance, a strike has
brekens-cut among the xchiRese stu.
dents or yale In China" a school
supported in part by American
money. It appears that the students
objected to the Bible being taught,
alleging it to be an unwarranted i'm
position of western belief.
Japan has long sought the leader
snip of Pan-Asiatic league, but to
date has been frustrated largely be-
cause of an intense Japanese
feeling in China. The conversion OF
DR.. Sun, the Father Of his Country"
and first president of the Chinese
republic, is therefore one of the first
important results of Japan,s new
policy of conciliation.
Japan's recent recognition of
Soviet Russia is likewise calculated
to enhance her prestige and power
in the Far East. A Japanese
Chinese Russian alliance is already
being talked as a possibility for the
near future, with possible fourth
member in Germany--if Francc-Ger-
man relations do not improve soon.
The inclusion Of Germany in such
q combine would not be the paradox
It might first appear. DIR. Sun ex-
pressly makes it part Of his new
creed that certain European coun-
tries are now as oppressed by the
great powers as are the countries
Of Asia. Thus should Asio go to war
with the western world. DIR. Sun ex-
poets these downtrodden nations of
Europe at least to seize the oppor-
tunity to free themselves Of the
yoke.
