Asia for the Asiatics

"Asia for the Asiatics."—Late advices state that the Japanese are working quietly in India to cultivate friendly relations between the two countries, and to instil Japanese sentiment regarding the problem of a general Asiatic cause. The Buddhists of the two countries are said to be exchanging visits, with a view to the encouragement of Hindu students to attend Japanese schools. Hindu students now in Tokyo have published an address, in which they appeal to India to heed the call of "Asia for the Asiatics." This means for the people of India to cast off the British yoke. It is also said that Japanese merchants are endeavoring to supplant British merchandise, now under boycott in India, with Japanese goods.
