There is something" sardonically humor eus, in the contrast between the com- pulsory opening up of Japan by worships of the United States and Europe within the decade 1850-1880 and the prosent attitude of the world toward Japan.

A little more than half a century ago the greah naval power of the world, with the roaring of guns, compelled Japan to enter the family of nations.
