There is a great awakening throughout Asia. We have seen the begining of it in Japan. The dawn has now broken for China. perhaps reddening the sky, but full light of day will come. Peace will ultimately be restored, maybe after years of conflict. But what saat pters to us is-that--when that time comes we should find the 400,000,000 of people in China our friends neighbours, and not bitter en raies."
