"A JAPANESE VIEW OF AMERICA.”
it is idi'e to think that one controversy will lead to serious trouble, hut it is quite conceivable that continued and indefinite multiplication of similar cases will result in an unfortunate situation. America is powerful. She has almost stepped into Britain’s shoes as me v,-oriel's financier. Politically and militarily, as well as economically, she is the most, formidable Power, and she is fully conscious of it. She is in a position to browbeat every nation on earth. Has this consciousness of power served to awaken in her bosom a sense of noblesse oblige? Is she alive to the moral responsibility that goes with so great material wealth and physical prowess as she has attained? In her dealings with foreign nations is she willing to observe the principle ot “live and let live”? Such are some of the questions which are being asked about America in the Far Fast no less than in Europe.—K. K. Knwakami in the “ Contemporary Review.”
