DANGER FROM LONE HAND.
TROUBLE IN THE FUTURE. A. aud N.Z. NEW YORK, Nov. 16.
Mr. H. G. Wells, writing in the New York World, asks: "Is Japan peculiarly an obstacle to a practical and informal federation of the world, toward which we hope all things are moving! It occurs to me with added forco that the Japanese aro not a people trying to express itself through the Government, but that the Government consists of a small ruling class, effectively possessing the obedience of a loving people, and that small ruling class has a long tradition of romantic and chivalrous swordsmanship.
" None could bo more urgent than 1 for complete disarmament of the entire world, but nono could be more convinced of the unwisdom of disarmament by America or any other Power while any single country maintains the spirit that must lead finally to the resumption of war. Disarmament >u such a situation is to leave trouble to accumulate upon our grandchildren, and to patch up a peace based on the permitted extension of such Power is simply to prepare for expanded war in the future.
