February 21. 1938. An article. "Solving- thp fnlnmai vaaau u c a r Lucas KC,, of South Africa, published in the current num- .ici u -t? w-nmi science Monitor; gives some inter esung iniormatfon in regard to Japan. It recites that Japan states she must have foreign outlets for her people. . Wi iVuia.ivu in .jupaii is mue more tnan hall that of Belgium and only half that of England. The cause oi the poverty and overcrowding is that Japan has rf P,a&S rents t0 a few landlords. The "Japan Year Book 1936" shows that one half of the land in Japan is owned by a iraHion people or one-and a half per cent of the total population. Thirty-three million get their living on rented agricultural land and of these twenty million are compelled to try to exist on approximately an acre per household. On this little tract of land they pay a hitrh rent as well as high taxes. A number of other countries, including Italv and Germany are similarly situated, this situation being responsible for the seeming poverty in those countries. The writer points out that none of the countries possessing colonies um them for emigration purposes and the trade with them is not important. What the writer fails to show is that Great Britain, which ako has a landlord class, has already freed most ot her colonies. Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa are all free to cut the ties of Empire if they wish to do so just as southern Ireland seems to be doing just now. There is very little difference between the ties which bind Canada 10 Britain and between those which bind United States to Britain. It i3 one of sentiment. India 13 also gradually moving in the direction of self-government and if other countries would let her alone the speed of emancipation would accelerate. AGLO-AMERICAN AGREEMENT In another number of the same paper is an editorial article in which it is shown that, while United States and Great Britain have no offensive or defensive treaty binding them, they are so closely in agreement on world.qu.es-tions that it is correct to say there is an agreement between them. Also is it true that they keep each other informed on all important moves. United States people are always interested in London and British people are interested in Washington and this union of ideas is being gradually strengthened. It is the wonder of the world that one of the countries of the British Empire lives alongside the United States without any boundary defenses on either sule. They do not fear each other. In other words they are in agreement on important principles, particularly the one of respecting each other's rights. Britain will not worry if the United States builds a bigger navy than herself. She needs it to defend the Pacific while Britain looks after the Atlantic. A written agreement is not necessary between countries that understand each other.
