WE MAY REGRET IT
Japan is a militaristic na
tion, intent on controlling
eastern Asia, including mil
lions of Chinese. The Jap
anese are an able race, in
a few generations they
have copied western civili
zation and make efficient
use of all its inventions and
machines.
If fifty million Japs can
defy the world to gobble
Chinese territory,what will
the enlarged Japanese em
pire do when it has assimi
lated 200.000,000 Manchur
ians, Mongolians and Chin
ese? Will it be the reality
of the long-discussed “Yel
low Peril.”
Nicholas Roosevelt, who
served as vice-governor of
the Philippines, fears that
the conduct of western na
tions in giving away to Ja
panese aggression is only
storing up trouble for the
future, when it will be
much harder and danger
ous.

violated by Japan and no
great power does anything.
“We are on our way out*'
of the Orient, he says, and
“we shall see in twenty or
thirty years a much more
powerful Japanese Empire.
We will regret that in 1935
America adopted a policy
of scuttle in the Far East.”
