HELPER, UTAH How the West Touched Japan 'TP HE first couiuct between the peo- pie of Japan md modem Europe occurred hi 1G42 when a Portuguese ship was blown upon one of the smaller islands ofihe Japanese group. Fur many centuries the Island empire had maintained complete isolation, evolving its own civilization. The Portuguese adventurers expected nothing less than instant death at the hands of these "dwarf Chinese." To their surprise they were welcomed, closely questioned about Europe by Inquisitive hosts and royally entertained. This adventure was followed by Catholic missionary expeditions. Thirty-two years later 150,000 Japs had become Christians. In 158T, however, the government decided that for all their marvelous firearms the people of Europe had little of value for Japan. Missionaries were ordered away und 20,000 of their converts were killed in 1501. Contact with the western world was almost completely severed. It was left for an American, three centuries later, to resume the Inter course begun by the Portuguese. Commodore Perry with four warships sailed Into Uraga bay in July, ISO;?, bringing sewing machines and frowning cannon. The Yankee's desirable merchandise enabled the signing of a commercial treaty, which was the forerunner of treaties with European powers. Popular feeling was stirred against this welcome of foreigners and the shogun was bitterly attacked nobles. The by the daimios-feudmlkados of Japan, Blnce 1330, had been merely nominal rulers, their chief functions being religious. The mikado was now backed against the shogun a sort of prime minister to expel foreigners. Ten years after Perry's visit, however, a squadron of British, French, Dutch and American ships bombarded Jnp ports after the dalmlos had fired on foreign vessels. The efficacy of European gunnery cnused a new change of heart In the mikado's party, Japan again became a pupil of the West, and just a half century after Perry's visit, she became embroiled with Russia, giant ' of European nations, and won a war with modern weapons. , al Opium War Opened China the way was CUKIOUSLY forenough the Introduction of Christianity into China by British warships bent on smuggling opium into the country against thedetermfna-tio- n of the Imperial government. The Chinese, proud of their fifty centuries of native culture, resisted the coming of western commerce and Christian missionaries very vigorously. As long ago as the Thirteenth century the Venetian merchant, Marco Polo, had traveled In Cldna and in the Fourth century a Christian church was established In Peking at the instance of Pope Innoeent IV, but the Chinese had stood steadfast In their desire for continued Isolation. Oreat Britain, from "ner base in India, gained soma trade through the port of Canton prior to 1840. the main commodity being opium, which the Chinese government soon discovered was debauching Its people. The quarrel resulted In a British fleet attacking the const of China. The emperor was compelled to throw open the ports of Amoy, NIngpo. Foochow, Shanghai and Canton to foreign trade. The tea end silk exports of China soon grew to large proportions. Sixteen years later a French missionary was slain and about the same time the sailors of a British ship wre seized as pirates. France and Britain river towards sent fleets up the Pei-h- o Peking, the capital. The nutrome of this war was the opening of additional and the granting ports to comm-rc- e of new rights to missionaries. The exploitation of the vast empire of China with Its 300,000.000 people was now well unrh-- r way. European nations helped themselves to privileges.
