Man's Struggle For Economic Security PART 3 By George Peck In the first two installments, we discussed the efforts of early man and some of the present day peoples to achieve economic security. To day we go to the Orient to see what has been going on there. This trouble spot centers around Japan and there by hangs quite a tale. Eighty years ago, the Japanese were a primitive people—one of the world's oldest and most peaceful. They still fought with bows and ar rows. They were quite content with their lot and the only fault anyone could find with them, was that they wished to be left alone. But that couldn't' be. England, France, Hol land, yes, even America had. mer chandise they wished to sell to the backward Japanese The Japs, there fore, were given the choice of getting ‘‘civilized” or getting blown out of the water. They quite wisely chose to become “civilized," and as a result became good customers of the afore mentioned nations. ' • Japan has never forgiven England, France, Holland and America for that deep humiliation. The day of reck oning may come.

This will be the last of the that the rules had been changed since the history books were written Japan agreed that maybe the rules should be changed but politely asked that the change be delayed until they had gotten their full share of the loot. So saying, they proceeded with char acteristic thoroughness to conquer a large part of China. Russia had a go at trying to stop them but soon aban doned the project. This placed the Western Powers In a very embarrassing position. It was difficult for them to drum up much righteous indignation when the jam of their own depredations was still on their fingers. They couldn’t deny that all Japan knew had been learned from them. The net result was that they muttered a few sanctimonious reprovals, and contined to sell Japan the materials she needed with which to expedite the slaughter of the Chinese.
