Tho " melt-iti melt-iti pot." lias ilono womlprs ilnrint; the llast century, Imt it will be fouml use-less use-less if an attempt, is nuule to assimilate, the iiriental races. Haron Malviuo, the lciitlinir reprosonta-tlvo reprosonta-tlvo of Japan at the peace conference, represents a promt ami sensitive people. Hut these people are also arrogant, nml if the baiou meant that .lapati would not join the lea;iue of nations unless her demands were granted, when he uvsod the expression ''not too proud to fi;;ht," it will be the duty of the other iteloeates to go 011 with tho work without with-out the baron and his colleagues. Then, i( Japan wants war and is "not too pVoud to fi;ht,'' the oriental question clnt bo settled in short order, and, when i is setticd, there will be no Japanese iu China or Korea. One trouble with tie ToUin statesmen is that they insist upon full recognition of their own eoun-trv, eoun-trv, but are unwilling to extend such rfeo'.;iiiticn to I'hiua. which they have loui regarded as their lawful prey. If tljio league of nations is duly organized, there will be an end to Japanese aggression aggres-sion in the orient, and China will be-coteo be-coteo free and independent, and it does not ma';e any reai difference whether ot not Japan becomes a party to the covenant. Only the other day the government at resin' was warned net to divulge the articles of any mere secret treaties which had been extorted by the Japa-nfse Japa-nfse under the threat of war. The Chinese Chi-nese statesmen at reking have heeded the warning, but no doubt a'.l the facts are known at Versailles, and itis rea-. rea-. sonable to expect that judgment will be rendered accordingly, for it would be farcical to recogt'.i e Japan as "boss" of the crier. t and leave China ur.pro-tocted. ur.pro-tocted. 'The situation has been somewhat complicated by the Korean declaration o4 independence. At tiro tixe of the Kusso-Japanese war Keren conceded the use of the peninsula for the prosecuttos 0! the conflict, with the v.r.dcrstandirg that when the war was over Korea was to regain her full independence. "'About a ' voar later," says an American w::o was born, in Korea ar.d has full knowledge knowl-edge of the facts, "with the country helpless in tlreir grip, as all tnllitn-y facilities were in their hands and the eouutrv was f all of Japanese sol ttors. Trinee Ito, with a detachment of soldiers, sol-diers, compelled the Korean cabinet, at the point of the guti. to give up Korean independence, while the Japanese proceeded pro-ceeded to inform the world that Korea JiuJ voluntarily given itself over to J he 'protectorate' of Japan." 1 he ivprfd knew better, but so many of the t,fl-.ir nations were engaged in working put., their "carnal i-ieals," which 1 :(..,! . t , : it ' ' .....
