It will thus be seen that China is rapidly developing along the lines that lead to militarism, and it may be that in another twenty years Western writers will have no feed" to complain of China's lack of patriotiam.. We are no believers in the Yellow Peril, either milit Ary or icdustrial, but there can be no doubt that the policy of Western Powers during the last half-century has compelled Eaters Powers to arm in self-defence. Indeed, the doctrine so sedulouslyproached that peace can be maintained only by prepiradrese, for war inevitably tears to draw the nations of the Orient within the vicions circle of zaral and military emulation. China passed through the militarist stage couturies sg, but it would appear that so long as other nationa-Jag behind in development sho Bust be content to revert to a militarist organisation in order to preserve her autonomy.
