Chairman. I can not permit the opportunity to pass of saying that I for one am growing weary of sidestepping the Japanese question. I do not close my eyes to th everdarkening shadow of this Asiatic peril. I do not mean the shadow of grimvisaged war. for I think that phase of the situation is tutch exaggerated. I mean rather the menace of the industrial war which. uless we take steps to prevent it. is Inevitable as a result of the industrial awakenIng among the teeming millions in the Orient who are responding with alarming rapidity to the touch of the spirit of this progressiv e age.
