Perkins warns of US Japan clash for Orient trade
United States Senator George E. Perkins of California warned at a National Geographic Society lecture that competition for commercial supremacy in the Orient could lead to conflict between the United States and Japan. He favored a peaceful settlement if possible and cited the Portsmouth conference as a lesson, noting Japan's aggressive nationalism and its ambitions to colonize populations under its sovereignty, which he warned could make expatriation and integration difficult in host countries. He also referenced California’s Chinese relations and warned that Japan’s growing power could bring the two nations into sharp conflict.
