Which way are they going to go? Are they going to go the way that Japan tried to take themracism? Asia for the Asiatics or the colored people against the whites? Do not make any mistake about thisthe only reason Japan failed was because her leaders were so foolish as to treat the people of Asia worse than the white man had treated them. But because she failed does not mean her idea did not take root. If these people do not see that their hope for themselves lies in the possibility of moving along with the whites on a basis of equality. then one day out of the ranks of the Chinese or the Japanese or the Filipinos or the Indians or the Malaysians. there will rise some man. or men. with a hypnotic personality and a sense of mission. who will preach in earnest: Asia for the Asiatics. Many would go with him with a song on their lips not because they wanted it but because they saw no hope of equality of treatment from the whites. In any such race war we would be bound to lose because they outnumber us 2 to 1.
