July 22. ■ The nioiiey-niad peonle- ol the l nited States to-day are sitting on the: edge- of a volcano, and do not know it. Within the next lout veins, trouble will develop in the Pacific between the United Stales and Japan. What the clld will be camtol be lor.-si-.-li. The cent re ol gravity o! the world i- moving to the Pacific. There is a problem that the world will lie faced with in the future. I lie sooner that, we of the British Empire recognise it the better lor ourselves, and for the rest of the world.”

These and other equally startling statements were made by the Rev. Dorc Bryant, Archdeacon of .Motion). Australia, who will sail on July 22, for a tour of Britain, which is expected to last three months. lie will espouse the cause eif emigration from Britain to Australia, and he expects to address meetings while in England. He said: "Japan is aggressive now and will grow more so. Ihe Empire must realise that the problem ol the world to-day i.-, the problem ol the Pacific.”

lie continued: "That is how we look at it in Australia. We realise that Japan could pour two or three million highly-trained soldiers into Australia before we could get assistance Irom the nearest British Fleet units. That is one reason why we display such interest in the question of Imperial Navy aid. and why we have provided some vessel' of our own to assist in defence. 1 have been particularly astonished and amazed at the laxity ol the l nited States in (onnectiun with the Pacific problem. There are I.’Ti.OOO Japanese in Hawaii l-laud. Almost u.s many Chinese and many Romans and Philippines. who would doubtless side with Japan in the event oj diliiculty. There should l.e rhi'e mtcr-ncmmuuieatinn between the dilferent parts ol the Umpire: Bonds should he strengthened by very means possible. There is heavy work ahead. Japan believes she has a grudge, and that she has been insulted through the American immigration restrictions. Some day there will come a war of revenge. It is amazing to me that the people ol the l nited Slates do not realise this.”
