Asia, a conservative Japanese weekly
Journal. Tho writer contends Japan
is bound to expand territorially as

being now over 57,000,000, ho esti
mates that at the same rate of in

tion whether America intends to keep
out Japanese emigrants and still hold
tho Philippines permanently. If not,
whv should she not some day sell
them to Japan? He adds: '-Having
clsred her own doors to tho Japanese,
this would be a gracious act on her
part and one that would bft but nnl
urally expected from a country boast
ing of so much philanthropy and
Christian altruism."
As for the Dutch East Indies tho
article contends tho Inhabitants are
moro akin to tho Japanese than to
Holland and that Japan could admin
ister tho islands with greater bene
fit on the whole to the people and
to horsolf than could Holland which,
moreover, is a sinnll country untroub
led with surplus population.
It is pointed out also that tho
I Dutch East Indies form the southern
j line of Japan's dofences and that
moro than once tho independenco of
those islands has made them a men

After remarking thnt the Japancso
do not liko to settle in cold climates
like Hokkaido or Siberia, tho writer
cencludes: "Certainly it would bo
bettor to let Japan havo them than to
let them pass Into othor hands, a con
tingency thnt Japan could not con

when Amorica purchased the Danish
West Indlos. There should bo no sur
prise if Japan should purchaso the
Dutch East Indies. Were Japan once
in command of the Sunda straits she
could slacken her naval programme
and feel nt ease both as to dofencos
nnd population for all time to come."

Later ,In protesting against the.,
deportation of the Belgians for forced
labor, he threatened Germany with,.,
"tho reprobation of the civilized'
world, the judgment of history and,
tho chastisement of God."
Fifteen thousand copies of the
cardinal's letter were seized and de-
stroyed, tho printer was arrested
and fined and the brave priest waa4
kept a prisoner in his palace by
order of General von Blsslng "untll

He was given his liberty, finally,
and cantinued to use his voice and-,
pen against tho "mailed fist" In crys
tallizing world opinion against tho
Central Powers. All during tho war, j
however, ho was subjected to petty
persecutions and his secretary and

Ho went through the bombardments
of Antwerp and Mallnes and braved
