Whoever gets that mandal, and with it virtual · possession, will remain master of the situation for ever. Is it to be "Russia? Would that alternative suit either Japan or England? No. Is it, to be Japan? If so, we have little Interest, perhaps absolutely none, in. opposing her: For many years to come. Japan, at the worst, can only opposé or threaten us in eastern seas. advances and successes jeopardise our interests here, in India, in Persia,, and in the Mediterranean, in fact throughout the whole world. England should favour the predominance of Japan in Korea either as a temporary or expedient. Japan. among the Western Powers, can only look to English support to reap the fruits successes and efforts in this war. and Japan have distinctly opposing interests of the most vital character in the results of the present war, and they are the closest neighbours. Where would Japan be. with Russia in force in Korea and all along the northern. frontier of China? With a greedy and deadly enemy at her gates, who knows no mercy and who can bite her time, the destiny of Japan would not be far to seek. Great Bri- tain and Japan have common interests and cause in the Far East, and with a view to securing the peace of the Orient and their own future welfare should, we make bold to assert, be slaunch friends and inseparable allies for all time. By such an alliance only can we hope to see a much-needed adjustment of the balance of legitimate power in Eastern Asia.
