IMPRESSIONS OF ENGLAND. THREE YEARS' EXPERIENCE OF

A. JAPANESE.

Under the caption "Japanese Impres 'sions of England," Mr. Ito, of the fiji.. who recently returned from a three years' sojourn in that country, pablishes, a long article dealing with his experience and impressions, g suminary of which will be found of interest, The sections" far "published constitutes a glowing eulogy.

e. It says Britain is on the wane is an expression which yr at Teast was in the south, of a majority of Japanese. This was particularly emphasi sed by those under the spell, of German influence. But in the light of my obser vation during a stay of three years in England, it seems clear to me that unless thu national character of the British people changes for the worse, their supre macy in the world will not be leweed for some hundred years to come. Of course, in that her pace of prugrine was by far slower than that, of new countries like Germany and Amerien just at the height of their growth, it was perhaps justifiable to say that Britain was relatively retro- gresing, but absolutely speaking, there has been an uninterrupted progres for more than a century since she assumed the lead- ing role in the family of nations,

In the case of Britain at the present day, there are none of those Puctors which mache for the national decline and fall of Carthage, Rome, and other hugemenic Powers. Unlike Rome and others. Britain * the greatest storehouse of, cial and iron in the world, and the greatest industrial country on earth both in game and Fact, while it is needless co say that she is supreme in commerce. Far from being enervated by her material prosperity, her naval forcs continues ta command the almost unconditional respect of the rest of the world, so that no country daves to land a single soldier on her shores. In agriculture, it is true that. like Rome and others, she is dependent ch foreign entries for the greater part of her food atus; but her, too, the soil, and national character of Britain have shown that the defect in be easily mended on occa sion, When the necessity of self-supply in the matter of food made itself keenly felt during the war, King George took up the spade in person and cultivated the potato in the front court of Buckingham Palace and his example was eagerly followed by his subjects, so that over 2,000,000 acres were newly brought under cultivation.

Thus, the economic motive power and power of national defence which are een- tial to the establishment and maintenance- uf supremacy in world politics, and owing to the lack of which the older hegemonic Powers-from Rome to the Netherlands declined, are not wanting in Britain. But what is more important even than these in determining the fate and destiny of a country is its national charseter. And it is precisely in this respect that Britain préfents a most striking contrast to coun- tries like Roaie. The strongest points in British character which the Japanese people-so apt to be puffed up with seife satisfaction and vainglory over somll success-will de well to imitate are those qualiti which park the British as a great people, in the world."

BRITISH PRACTICALITY AND TENACITY. The writer thereupon discusses the com- position, of the British nation at some: length; and goes on to say:-

The Normas conquered the Anglo- Saxons, but the Anglo Saxons ended by conquering their conquerors, assimilating the bloul and qualities of the Normans, the result being the three distinctive fea tures of British character, (1) tenacity of purpose; (2) bravery and enterprise; and (3) tenderness of sentiment. Mention of the expression the British people' at once suggests the ides, of a practical people. In fact, it was the practical gening of the Anglo-Saxons that enabled them to conquer the conquering Normans culturally, and the trisla and experience which the nation went through from the time of Queen Elizabeth till the middle of the nineteenth century inade them more practical than "ever. In the eyes of the British, name and form count for no thing. Nor do they pay much heed to systrar What is most important to them is utility and practicality. Utilitarianism is really the backbone of the British Em pire. A firm belief in utility is reflected in the two great features of British character-careful deliberation and re solute action. It is often extremely tire same for other nationals to" discuss a new project with their English friends, because the latter debate all its pros and cons at full and exhaustive length and in all its bearings; but when they decide on a line of action, they hammer away at it with

resolution.

BRITISH ASPIRATIONS.

Their outlook on life teads towards harmony, peace and longevity. Engiyad Is a country, where people actually fight least of all other countries, although ver bal dispute is carried on a great deal. They love peace because they believe that peace is the only road to happiness. Treitschke and Bernhardt have no sym pathisers in Eugland, although many friends are found for Kant and riegel.

The extremely utilitarian temperament of the British people is likewise reflected in their philosophy, la the German 'sense of philosophy, it is perhaps no exagge ration to say that England has produced not a single philosopher Philosophising for the sake of philosophising is an idle waste of time in the British eye. As a philosopher, Darwin was perhaps in the third class, but in England he is regarded as one of the greatest philosophers in the world, because his theory of evolution is beneficial to mankind. English philosophy is nothing more than part and parcel of science intended for the benefit of man kind. This, is why Comte is regarded in England as the greatest philosopher in the world in spite of the comparatively low esteem in which he is held in his own country. Speculation and abstraction. have no place in England. Experience and observation are the essence of English philosophy."
