Today ■Vv I gainst a I lioitsand. lustra/iaH orld Pionovr. Guardian of thr If hilr Harr. I tidrr thr Shadow of Asia. By ARTHUR BRISBANE ^ __; If a Chicago man began digging in his valuable lake front lot, kept oil long enough and could stand the heat, he would come out oil the other side, very likely, on some sheep ranch in Australia. We Americans say to ourselves, "Australia is on the other side of the world, nothing on this earth can be farther from us." We forget that nothing could be more important, more “near" to us than Australia, since her people are pioneers of the white rare living in the shadow-of Asia, protecting vast territory for white men in the future. Thor arc 6,000,000 people in all Australia, a great island empire with cities as wide apart as New York and San Francisco. In that vast domain live only as many as arc crowded into New York City. And all this is a white man’s land, settled by white men, marvel ously developed, all things consid ered, by white men and forever to lie kept a white man's territory, if the 6,000,000 Australians are up held, as they should he, by their brothers here and in Europe. We in America have our moments of hard thinking about Asia and its yellow menace, although we are 1 10,000,000 strong, the richest na tion in the world,.with 7.000 miles of ocean between San Francisco and Asia’s doors. Think of Australia, with only 6.000. 000 people, industrious, in telligent, courageous, determined, hut not rich, living under the shadow of a thousand million Asia tics, living, as it were, under the great dike of Asia's population, constantly on the alert to see that there is no break in the wall. How quickly Asia would flood and possess the great fertile lands of Australia, you realize, ,vhen you look at Java, an island that had 3.000. 000 population in 1800, and now has 35,000,000, increasing every year by 1,000,000 Japanese. Japan, long before this century ends, would swallow up Australia, With its handful of Australians, in a flood of brown population. But Australia says “no” and means no. Asia knows it, and fortunately for the white race, the British empire and the sympathy of all white na tions are back of Australia to re main white and free from Asiatic control. Australia learned in the middle of the last century, when the Aus tralian gold fields were discovered, what Asia wduld have done, but for Australian determination. Chinese, attracted by the gold, poured into Australia at the rate of 10,000 a month. Australia, then a small colony, appealed to Great Britain to stop the destructive flood. But England did not feel, then, that Australia was sufficiently important to justify offending England’s friends in Asia. “Very well,” said Australia, “we will defend ourselves.” And Australia prevented the landing of Chinese by brute strength, sending* back the ships that brought them, with the thou sands of coolies still on board. Australia keeps out all Asiatics, and this includes his majesty’s sub jects that dwell in India. They may he citizens of the British em pire, hut they cannot enter Aus tralia. There is no “gentlmen’s” agree ment. or other palavering. Aus tralia says “keep out’.’ and they keep out. And Japan, constantly protesting and arguing about the right of the United States to regu late American territories, utters no protest whatever against Australian exclusion, for Japan knows it would do no good. Asia knows that Eng land, now a mother* grown old and needing the affection of Rfr chil dren, would side against all Asia, if necessary in defense of the Austral ian commonwealth. There is a lesson for American statesmen in that handful of Aus tralians at Asia’s doors, 6,000.000 whites against a thousand million .

The United States should lend moral support and, if necessary, financial and physical support to Australia in her gallant determina tion lo keep white as much of the world as is white today. Australians arc ns near to us in time, and as important to us in fact, a.s were sur own pioneers of old days, west of the Alleghenies, then west of the Mississippi, hold ing land against Indians and wolves for great white tribes (hat wore to come after them. The Australians hold a great, beautiful land, a gigantic island continent against the hordes of Asia. They are pioneers of white western civilization, maintaining for white colonization, in future centuries, against Asiatic invasion, a great part of the earth’s surface.

Indeed, t do not think I would have been more humiliated had Dicky actually struck me. Upon one point, however, his reve lation had been involuntary. He had not meant to let me know (hat Mollle Fawcett had been present upon the occasion which sent Aim home to nig with hl.s head bound up and bleeding. Moreover, T would see by the quick furtive glance he gave hie that he hoped 1 had not understood the meaning of his allusion. i realized that I was lowering my own standards immeasurably In this scene between us—I generally have taken refuge in silenee when Dicky is in one his rages—hut something about this latest discovery had enraged me beyond the point where I could think clearly. I was able to keep my voice low and even, a procedure which 1 have found angers Dicky far more than if I shrieked to heaven, hut there my self-control ended. I could not keep from him any longer the knowl edge I had of that night. For the moment I was some one entirely out side of my normal self. Blank Astonishment I suddenly rose from my rhair my hand almost touching Dicky as I did so. He stepped back and the single glance I threw him showed me that he was puzzled and a bit uneasy about what my next movement would be. Without a second glance at him.
