The recent action of the Press
Association of the Territory, fol

from the Association of Hankers

-lilts of the war can-not be told at
• his time, but its'effect will be far
reaching in eastern Asia and
doubtless in Russia also. Japan
has fully established her right to
a placeamonir the leading nations
df the world, and the dominating
influence of eastern Asia. That
this influence will be exerted for
the good of all. is well proven by
the unselfish and humane spirit
in which she entered into and has
conduct d the war She will
doubtless seek to establish and
maintain a principle in Asia, sim
ilar to Ihe "Monroe Doctrine" in
