THE SINO-JAPANESE CONFLICT There has been no .peace since 1918. ̂ Only an armistice.. And now the great struggle between the haves, and have-nots has flared up into open conflict in China,, although no depl^- ation of hostilities has been made out of deference to that " osti-ich-like attitude to,all things disagreeable so charaoterisUc of. this age, which attitude" will be chiefly-responsible for the , next world war, if and when it oomes.

We have seen the same thing happen on this continent in the case of therRcd Indians. If is too early as yet to visualize just.how the struggle will go, because, while the Japanese have made coiislder^^ progress, the Chinese plan- of campaign so far has not peen revealed. Undoubtedly she is not really ready for war like ' •Japan; as undoubtedly a common menace and hatred of the invader is uniting her people to an extent unknown for many .years.
