"Our Isolation."
« The isolation of England in the Far East is one of those things which are evident to everyone who is hopelessly blind. For the hopelessly blind can see as far into a brick wall as anyone else'; while their mental vision is not affected by the view of such facts as that (1) our occupation of Wei-hai-Wei waa effected in concert with Japan ; (2) our loan was effeoted in concert with Germany ; (3) our railway scheme was financed in concert with Belgium ; (4) the mineral wealth of Hunan is being exploited in concert with Italy ; and (5) our policy of the "open door" is admittedly in harmony with that of America. An attempt, therefore, to upset our policy, as a whole involves Japan, Germany, Belgium, Italy, and America. Such is isolation. — The Globe.
