Japan's ni' nt catastrophe has served
to turn more tlmn ever the attention
of the world to this country which,
from a position of isolation In tin!
Asian seas, tins emerged to become one
of Hie dominant factors In the I'nellic

portance many of the old powers of
Europe.
Tills Island empire might he termed
the narrower and less compact Jtrltain
of the Far Fast. Like the iiritish Isles,
the Japanese islands form the fringe
of a ureal, continent ; holh were in the
hands of pcll.v kings and grew Into a
centralized nation; liolh looked abroad
for expansion; and ho!h have con
ceived that their safety atal future
prosperity depends largely on sea
power.
lint there are differences as well as
likenesses between these two Island
nations. Since she began to grow Into
n empire ('rent lirltaln has alisolate
ly turned her back on Kurope In so
far as territorial acquisitions are eon
eerned, and has sent her colonists Into
the remote parts of the world. Japan,
on the other hand, has acquired lar;e
blocks of (he neighboring continent,
luit lias expanded somewhat In other
directions also. Croat I'.rilaln has be

tered, distant empire. Japan has re
mained so far the center of her em

derstood, perhaps, by imagining her
Island territories transferred to the
more familiar Atlantic and the east-and-west
directions reversed. The vari
ous (roups of Japanese Islands would
then extend from the Shetland islands
southward nlonjj the coast of Kurope
and Africa for 2,7(K) miles. Formosa
would be situated just north of the
Cape Verde Islands. The Marianne or
Padrone islands of the mandate would
occupy a portion near the Azores; and
the hundreds of islands of the Caro
line and Marshall "roups (the remain
Inj,' mandate Islands) would string out
across the Atlantic from near the
Cape Verdes almost to Cuba. Hono

Good Naval and Trading Bases.
As direct outlets for emigration,
Japan's mandate Islands, because of
their restricted area, are of little Im
portance. Hut as buses to facilitate
naval operations and trading activities
to tlie south and east they are com
parable in Importance to Hawaii as
liases for the westward activities of
the Failed States. And Japan means
to make the Islands "pay for their
keep." She Is stimulating the sys
tematic planting of coconut groves,
and her traders are fast replacing for
eign goods in the Islands with those of
Japan. The Islands add only n few
thousand miles of territory and some

not dreamed of In ISo.'l, the spirit of

of Commodore Matthew (lalbrailh Per
ry has continued to murk their rela
tions. This opening of Japan to the
weald by mi American constitutes one
of the most important events In our
i history. The story of Perry's voyage
(o Japan has all the glamour of the
stories of the Orient, and is fascinat
ing beyond the imagination of the most
fertile novelist. Armed with a letter
from the president of the Fnlted
' Slates to his Imperial majesty the em

and Cood Friend," Commodore Perry

the products el' the farm and factory,
which lie thought by their novelty and
usefulness would Interest the people of
Japan. A miniature locomotive, with
tracks and rails to be laid down, one
mile of telegraph line with Morse In
struments, photograph-cameras, print
ing presses, puzzles and tops, some of
tin' newest things in America, were In
the cargo.
Commodore Perry's Diplomacy.
The story of his wisdom, bis pa
tience, his consummate diplomacy, go
ing into weeks and months and years,
the employment of every art that
statesmanship and strategy could in
vent, Is us thrilling today us when It
was first told. He hud gone to Juptin
with a friendly key to open the door
for the furtherance of trude, the pro
tection of life, and to obtain a treaty
with a power destined to occupy a
large place In the world. Hurryintt
, uothlng, observing every ceremony
I that could appeal to those he would
1 win as frlenda, lVrry's success marked
hlui as a diplomut of the tirst water.
When the negotiations had reached
1 a stage where the high contracting
parties had about agreed, Hayasbl
wished to Insert u clause that no
American woman should be brought to
Japan. Tradition has It that when this
proposition was submitted the Commo
dore excitedly exclaimed, "Croat
heavens! If 1 were to permit ally such
stipulation as that In the treaty, when
1 got home the women would pull all
the hair out of my head."
