Tokio. Japan's economic future
demands more territory as an outlet
for her increasing population in the
opinion of Professor Ho rive of Keio
University, in a discussion of the
economic conditions ,of the Empire.
He said: "Whatever jusLinaoie
cause there may have been for the

can be no doubt that this conscious
ness of territorial limitations have
played no small part in bringing tnem
to successful issues.
"With Formosa, Korea, and also
practically a part of Manchuria add
ed to the Empire, is the nation now

The answer is' of course 'no.' Should
Jaiwn then look about for a fresh
acquisition of territory? What
about emigration ? Japan proposed
!$d failed to put through the prin
ciple of racial equality at the recent
Peace Conference in Paris. The pro
posal deserved avproval if its aim
was to establish an abstract princi

of the immigration problem.
"Acrain, to send people abroad In
order to profit by their savings is a

it is only natural that a country or
his-her civilization should object to
such emigrants. Such a solution of
the problem of over-population Is
unworthy of Japan which claims to

impracticable under present day in

to become a storage vault for helium,
