Monhonk Lake, K. T, October 19.
That a great armed struggle between
the white and yelluw races for control
of the Pacific can only be avoided by
viae diplomacy and act was the de
claration here tonicht of Norbert
Lyons, an editor of the Manila Bulle

Mr. Norbert praised American

"A better understanding of the
laws and principles underlying the
harmonious contact of raoes would be
of incalculable benefit to the World.
Moreover, the great religions, adopted
by a large majority of the human
race, would seem to be ethically
sound enough to have precluded some
of the disastrous and deplorable ra
cial classes of history.
"Yet, unless something is done to
prevent it, the greatest and bloodiest
politico-evonomicel conflict, that aris
ing out of the contact of the white
and yellow races, is bound to take
place in the not very distant future.
Its preliminary bloodless stages have
already been entered upon on the
shores of the Pacific. .
McKinley Policies.
"The instructions of President Mc
Kinley to the first Philippine Commis
sion, in which our Philippine policy
was outlined, laycd down a definite
policy as affecting the relations of
peoples of two different races, based
on purely altruistic grounds and en
tirely at variance with the European
practice.
"Now what is he essential differ
ence between the conventional Euro
pean theoVy of race 'contact and that
of the Unite.) States T The European
in dealing with other races regards
racial prejudice as a legitimate and
controlling factor, while the Ameri
can colonial policy discounts racial
prejudice and attempts to work out
its problems on a basis of ju.-tue and
equality. Aside from the compara
tive practical results of the two
schools of colonial administration,
the European policy in fundamentally
wrong in principle. There is no suc h
thing as absolute racial superiority.
"The only academic comparative
statement as to the general quality
of races that we can make, is that
each race is best adopted to life in
its own natural habitat. Prom this
standpoint each rare may therefore be
regarded as being superior to that ex
tent. It is unnatural and unwholse
some for one race to attempt by phy
sical force to enslave or supplant an
other race in its natural habitat.
"There need not be and there should
not be any human passion as bitter
unreasoning race prejudice. Patience,

presented to the American Embassy
in London and is now on its way to
this country by mail. It wil arrive

Officials would not discuss the char

gained was that it was a rejection of
the principles declared by acting Se
cretary of State Polk, in his note of
July 26 last. He served notice on
Great Britain that this government
would not tolerate the continuance of
the British blacklist rSilicy.
