The world will not let us alone. because we can not let the world aloneour foreign interests are too numlerous. our coinlnerce too vast. and our possesions too valuable. Civilization has loved westward. With laggard but compelling hand it has awakened Japan and aroused the sleeping giant. The commercial progress of Japan has been. if anything. lore marvelous than our own. and the drama of her regeneration is about to be reenacted in China. We prohibit Chinese immigration. while we insist that Chinese ports shall be open to Americans and American goods. The coast States restrict. the rights of Japanese in land ownership and otherwise. while we insist upon the full measure of our own in Japan. We are able to do this because we control the Pacific.
