DANCER OF THE FUTURE

DEAN INGE'S VIEWB. WHITE RACKS DOOMED. (Australian and N.Z. Cable Assn.) LONDON, February 25. i Dean Inge delivered a lecture entitled "The Coming Economic Struggle," during tin l course of which lie. s:iiil ibi' danger was not from the blacks or reds, but from the yellows ami browns, II was not a military danger at. present, but might become military if the whites persisted in excluding the yollow and brown races by I violence from half-imiply countries. 1 If the whiles are determined to throw the, world into the scale of peaceful competition, their rivals would be : compelled to vindicate their rights by war. The Japanese did nol wish to try conclusions with Europe or ; America mi (he battlefield as long as she was allowed to extend her influence in Asia. The yellow peril was ] the peril of economic competition. ! The radio of wages to output all over ! Ihe East gave I tie native manufac- , hirers an enormous advantage over European and American manufacturers. Under a regime-of peace free | trade was restricted. The immigration of the coloured race would outlive. ; outwork, ami eventually exterminate Ihe while race. The result of Ihe i European, Australian and American 1 labour movements bad been In pro- | dure a type of working man who had j no survival value, and but for pro- ! lection of nn extremis! form -namely, ! the prohibition of immigration—he ! would soon be swepl oul of existence. ; That, class of protection rested cntirei|y on armed force. The abolition of ' war and the establishment of racial equality under the League of Nations would seal Ihe doom of the while labourer, such as lie made himself. The white working man of to-day was dreaming of fresh rewards, doles and privileges which were to make the white countries a paradise for his class, yet all the time be was living on sufferance behind an arth.ici.il dyke of ironclads and bayonets, on Ihe other side being a far more efficient labour mass which would eat him up, in n genera Hon if the barrier was removed. The policy of exclusion would nol prevent races economically superior from increasing their wealth and military power. The British race should strive for increased production, the cessation of strikes, peace, free trade, nnd retrenchment. They must learn 11,.,l industry must be conducted without privileges.
