"JAPAN AMONG THE NATIONS."
ADMIRAL MAHAN'S VIEWS.
THE HONGKONG DAILY PRESS, THURSDAY, JULY 24TH, 1918.
Admiral Mahan, of the United States Navy, has written to the Times 88 follows:-
The three weeks or more of time involved make it a far cry to criticizo from this side of the Atlantic (New York) au argument in an English deily, but the communication of Sir Valentino. Chirol in your issue of May 19th. "Japan 1 Among the Nations: The Bar of Race, is of such importance to the American I world in Canarle no less than in the 'nited States-ant also of such during interest to the whole cunmunity of Euro- -pean civilizuien, because affecting the political conditions of territories to which their emigrant population may wish to resort, that it sooms expedient to attempt Bome comment, even though inevitably retarded.
The question discussed by Sir Valentine is based by him upon the Alien Land Bill recently passed by the California Legis lature. Upon that particular measure I have un comment to make; it is in fitter hands than mine. It is to "the ultimate issue involved." as construed by Sir Valentine, that I direct my remarks. The ultimate issue involved," he writes. "is whether Japan, who has made good her title to be treated on a footing of completo equality as one of the Great Powers of the world, is net also entitled to rank among the civilized nations whose citizens the American Republic is ready to 'welcome, subject to a few well-defined exceptions, within its fold whenever they are prepared to transfer their allegiance to it." In brief, this means. I apprehend. whether the attainment by Japan of the position of a Great Power entitles her to claim for her citizens free immigration into the territories of any other Great Powers, with accompanying naturalization,
While Sir Valentine does not give a decisive reply to this question, the whole tone of his paper implies an affirmative.
