"YELLOW PERIL."

LORD NORTHCLIFFE ALARMED

MENACE OF JAPAN'S WAR PARTY

BY CABLE—PEESS ASSOCIATION—COPYRIGHT Received April 19, 9.30 a.m. LONDON, April 18. ■ Lord Northcliffe, in an article in the Daily Mail, says: "Danger threatens the.world in general and the British Empire particularly from the militarism of Japan." Eta declares that there is I need to watch Japan, and instances the ' need for the maintenance of a great home and overseas army and fleet to' meet Japan's growing naval superiority in Chinese waters, which involves excessive taxation. Japan has not re-! linquished her plan of mastering China, I and, as the result of the Washington1 Conference, she is merely changing her! tactics to suit the new circumstances,' The Pan-Japanese are as powerful in I Japan to-day as the Pan-Germans were in Berlin in 1914, 'while the Japanese War Party is as indifferent to keeping treaties as many traders are regarding the infringement of each other's trademarks. An incessant Japanese propaganda is going on, and bribed newspapers and films are employed in it, surpassing the German tactics during the war. Much of this matter is Being disseminated in Britain and the United States. A distinguished Far East I authority told him that Japan aim's first to control China, then the world. Her infamous TwentyK>ne Articles demand made upon China during the war, revealing the mind of Japan, should never be forgotten.
