Fixetice, the most despondent will soon recovery. able to the very beginnings of recorded history. If Japan wins, the East will have the chance to reassert itself and to develop along national lines. If Russin conquers, the East generally will sink to the position of vassal and customer of the West. The alternative is admitted even by those who perceive it obscurely.

People with goods to sell and superficial observers generally would welcome this obscuration of the Kast. To them it would mean the final triumph of our commercialised civilisation. Uthers more altruistically see a providential movement redeeming pagans to Obristianity. No. body reems to regret the probable di appearance of a highly interesting life, of a society very humanely organised, peculiar apti'udes for the graces' of life and for beautiful handicraft, Tu these essential matters, as the Javanese scholar Okakura has recently said, the East is one against the West. It' presents yrext uniformity and an. estabished social order against the individuslisa: of the West; with this goes a certain fatalism and submissiveness which deprives the universal lot of poverty of its sting, and a real community of ideas which transcends superficial systems of caste and makes a genuine social democracy.
