JAPAN AND CHINA
FEEL THEIR POWER THE GREAT AWAKENING IN THE EAST. JAPANESE MONOPOLY OF TRADE. By Telegraph—Press Association —Copyright SYDNEY, February 10. Mr Wade, when in the East, was impressed by tho strong evidence that tho people of Japan and China are beginning to feel their power, and demand a share in the government of those countries. It is remarkable, ho says, how Japan is gradually forcing her way into the possible monopoly of trade in that part of tho Pacific. Her mercantile fleet has increased y.ormously of late years. Japanese influence has severely undermined Britain’s share in tho China trade, and Japan is seriously competing with English commercial influence in Indian waters. Only by persistent, up-to-date methods can Australia hope to increase or maintain her trade with the East. _ One thing which forcibly strikes a stranger is that the Japanese are unanimous in the conviction that their country is destined to occupy a still more important position among the nations of the world.
