Ante-BeIum News and Comment Cleaned From English
Papers Published in the Japanese Empire

'As will be seen from another col
umn, the latest cables from England
state that the universal opinion there
is that, If Japan goes to war, she will
be defending the worlds cause and pro-
tecting the interests of progress and
civilization. This is quite in harmony
with the article in the Times, on which
we recently commented, which stated
that Japan was upholding the ideals OF
the Anglo-Saxon race. Now we should
be the last to deprecate the publica-
ton of friendly sentiments of this kind.
They encourage the Japanese Gov
ernment to persevere in the adoption of
a firm and self-respecting attitude, and
they are undoubtedly true as far as
they go. But it is well, in a grave ma
tional crisis like the present, to hold
fast to actual facts, and to put aside
merely sentimental considerations. We
thoroughly believe in the righteousness
OF Japan's cause against Russia, and
we also consider that, in making her
present stand against the aggressions
of the latter country, she is indirectly
serving the interests of the rest of the
civilized world. But it would be an
entire misconceDtion to suppose that, If
Japan takes the field against her for
midable antagonist, she will do so, pri-
marily, in order to fight the world S
cause or to uphold Anglo Saxon
ideals"
