Supremacy ot the Pacific. ! lifan article in the Paris "Figaro," under the heading, "The Supremacy Transferred from the Atlantic to the Pacific," Professor Jean Izoulet, says: "Will the United States," he asks "snatch from from France its canal (the idea and work, the glory and money) will tne unueo. estates snatch from Colombia the control of the isthmus and more or less of the whole country? Will the United States snatch from England the em pire of the seas? These questions are but preliminaries. One must look fur ther, that is to say higher. "The supreme revolution of the times, geographical, commercial and political, the supreme 'planetary' revo lution, is now going on under our eyes under our eyes but we do not see. This is how the North Americans talk: 'For thousands of years the Mediter ranean, the sea in the midst of land, was the center of tho commerce, the wealth and the power of the world. With the discovery and the develop ment of the New World this center has transferred to the Atlantic Dur ing the twentieth century it will pass to the Pacific, which will become and remain the sea in the midst of land the new Mediterranean in the future of the world.' "It is the last, the supreme, revolu tion. The cycle will be revolved. There are no more undiscovered coun tries. The migration of people to the West, and the resulting march of em pire, meet their limit with the Occi dent. The scepter of the work has al ways passed into the youngest hands. Beyond the young Republic is the de crepit Orient. "Whence comes the supreme plane tary importance of the Isthmian Ca nal? The piercing of the Isthmian Canal will be the last geographical event of prime greatness. There are no more isthmuses whose piercing will shift the commercelof the world. The Suez Canal gave England avast advantage. The Panama Canal will transfer this advantage to the United States with the certainty that it j cannot ever be shifted again bv any geographical cause. The commercial supremacy of the Pacific will be the ' - i I final supremacy. . "Let us glance over the Pacific and ! take an inventory of the countries I which border it. It is a striking fact 1 tint nil th trrPflt nndpveloned but 1 tnat an tne great, unaeveiopeu dui naoiiaDie portions oi tne worm uoraer i the Pacific North America, South America, Australia, Sibera of what enormous development are these coun tries not capable? Take America as a whole. Its fundamental character istics are still little recognized small rainfall in the Old World, abundant in the new; consequently the greatest ; house and other impr0Vement3 system of rivers in the latter, and the Vor price an(i terms apply to P. T. Mc only great deserts in the former. Gee, Myrtle Creek, or D. S. K. Buick, There is as much arable land in Aaieri- Boseburg, Oregon. 2-tf ca as there is in Europe, Asia and Africa combined. "In all these countries, Alaska and Canada, the far West of the United States, Australia, New Zealand and Siberia, 'civilization will perform its miracle of the loaves and fishes, and will sustain millions of men where now vegetate a handful of savage3.f "Contemplate the wonderful line o the Asiatic Pacific coast from Signa ture to Yladivontok, with the vast countries of Sibera, China andA tralia. Contemplate the parallel line oi -American racinc coast irom ..uasna to Patagonia, with the vast countries of Canada, United States and South America. Suppose there are only two milliards on each side, four milliaids in all, .will the Pacific not be, perforce, the lake of civilization, the Mediter ranean? In truth, the center of the globe's gravity is displaced. "A magnificient picture! But here is the other side. Consider the two giants of the planet, Russia and the United States. Both of them simul taneously turn their eyes from the Mediterranean and Atlantic to the Pacific. Russia, without losing sight of Europe, turns from the Occident to the Orient and builds its true fa cade on the Pacific. The United States without losing sight of Europe, turns from the Orient to the Occident and establishes its true facade on the Pa cific. Thus, over the Pacific the two giants Yankee and Slav, are face to face perhaps in the struggle to death prophesied sixty years ago by Palmerston. "And what becomes of Europe, properly speaking, in this gigantic planetary relolution? It is over wehlmed. "Europe is going to founder. The facades of Russia and the United States on the Pacific will be the true center, the final focus of civilization. The Atlantic will be only a ditch. And to this Pacific Ocean, central and final focas of civilization, 'this great sapphire set in gold and silver,' Eu rope will not have access, or only a precarious access, since the entrance of the Golden Gate, the power over the pierced isthmus, it seems, must be confiscated and monopolized by the United States."
