of the white races.

After dealing, in au ploqasat passage, with historien!, spiritual, and romantic counerations, and with the picturesque contrasts between Est and West, Lord Curson continued: The East which I am examining today is not a picture nor su abtraction, bat, if the language may be permitted, is & politient and metaphysi- cal being which for unfold couturies has been modelling and moulding, or being modelled and monided by, the West. It isa, necessary prelude to an adegante understanding of the present ral- tions between Eastaud Wo that I shouldatt mpt aa briof a survey as may be found possibe of

THE RUSSO-JAPANESE WAH.

Lord Carson surveyed the historical connec tion in two periods, selecting what he described us

the salient moments at which auch had struck a blow upon the navil of the other, and analyslug the results. After tracing events down to their eulmination at a quite recent date in movements of the European Powers, which pointed to the dismeratiorment of China and the ultimate partition of the East, le proceeded ---

'Buddenly the outlook was revolutionized and the wok was compelled to realize that a new spool in its history had began.

The immediate cause was the issue of the. war between Russia and Japan in 1904-5. The ontest in itself was heroic in ita insidents and dramaties in its results; but in order to measure its fall significance we must try to pat ourselves in the skin of the Asiatic, and to see how he regarded it. Though the Japanese, being of composite origin, his something of the colour and aspires to all the privileges of the white races, yet to Asia the defest would be a defeat

· of the white man;-and the victory would be one this first considerable victory for three centuries of East over West.

It is argued by a certain school of thought that we have given to Asia little that she values, or, if left to herself, would not cast away. Our education, if it said, she has only borrowed to turn against a; our religion she rejects, our ciy ilization sho dospises; she is indifferent to our science; she will manufacture e implements for her own protection: she will dispate one ho gemony, defy our authority, dispense with our agents, undersell one produce, and one by anaca- ing our trade. This argument gems to mo to be invalidated by many considerations.

BELIGION AND EDUCATION,

I concur, indeed, in the viow that the East is unlikely to sompt Christianity, for two main reasons. First, the religious of Asia give to it what the pagan mythologies did not give to Europe-namely, a dulluita and intelligible theory of the relations of God to man, which satisfies the spiritual aspirations as well as the day-to-day requirements of the Orisati, and, secondly, the latter mes in the teachings of Christianity something hostile to that revived self-consciousness of which I have spokou, and to which he clings as his dearest possession. Even if he had no objection to the dogmatic teaching of Christianity, he would not consent to become a Christian at the cost of consins to But I do not think that be an Asiatic.

INDUSTRIAL, DEVELOPMENT. The second co-wideration is concerned with the industrial future of the East, During the past century the exploitation of the interuni resources, as well as the external carrying trade, of the East has bon almost entirely in European hands. The West has, however. been too busy with building up its political and commercial connections to spare much time for internal development, to which also the temper and tradition of the East were opposed. In the future an immense expansion may be ex- pected in the organization of mineral and other resources, and in the growth of manufacturing industries, the products of which will enter into commercial competition with the West. This of the East, and may revolutionize ita relations will add greatly to the wealth and independener

If the general conditions are too obscure to justify any wiler sasonlation, there remain certain contingencies which it is not thaafe to contemplate, and for which we ought to be prepared. Casting one eyo over the whole of Asin, we shall roughly be able to divide it into three ontegories-thess conatries in which Asiatic supremacy appears to be irrevocably fixed; those in which European domination is solidly fouled or is likely to be maintained for some time; those of which the future threatens to be troubled, and which are liable to become the theaters of renewed collision between East and Wast. Japan and China will belong to the first class; Siberia, Russian Central Asia, India, and Iade-China to the second; Afghanistan,. Fersia, Arabia, Asia Minor, and the entire Turkish Empire to the third. The islands, in so far as they can be grouped under a single bending, should probably be included in the third
