SYDNEY, This Day. Dr, C. S. Davis, of Waiapu Hospital, who has been travelling round the world since last, July, arrived by the Tango Maru. He stated that the sacred mission of the Japanese race was to insist on the equality of the yellow race with tfye whites. Japan was spending 50 per cent, of her revenue on her army and navy, and only son education. In his opinion Japan was untrustworthy as a nation, and needed to be closely watched during the next fe,w years. The Japan-' ese possessed no particular initiative, but were wonderful copyists. He was struck with the similarity of the Japanese from the . North and the Maoris. Their build; features, incantations, and the custom of removing footwear when entering buildings, being the chief points of resemblance.
