I Tbe storm center of social reform , In Asia for the next quarter of a cen tury is likely to-be over the relations of the sexes, writes Tyler Dennett In Asia. If any statement of the men ace of polygamy were necessary to bring home to American readers the Immediacy of the subject, some re cent statements from the editorial columns of the Far Eastern Review would seem to be suitable. The Cau casian population of the world Is dou bling its number once In a hundred years; the dark-skinned races, which now outnumber the white population two to one, are doubling their num bers every twenty-five years. At least such Is the case In Korea, where the most recent figures are available. The editor of the Far East ern Review figures out that at the present rate of Increase the Cnucns 'nn element In the world's population will have shrunk In a hundred years to scarcely 5 per cent. The oriental demands male children, as many of them as he can produce. The editorial In question says: "So long as the oriental man Is able to arrogate to himself the right to possess plural wives. Just so long will polygamy pre vail. But there Is a way out and one which Is becoming broader and more easy to. trend each year. The wife with foreign educntlon Is a precious thing in China In the eyes of the re turned students, since she Is one of a few women of his own race Hint realizes and understands his peculiar aspirations. She has It in her bands to be the one and only wife, and If the few examples that have come un der the writer's notice are any crite rion, she will exert that power to the utmost."
