VI Japanese supremacy In Asia nc
says: Japan has entered into the
family of civilized nations. She has
adopted the occidental customs and
occidental training. She has awaited
herself of all the instruments of occi
dental power. Yet, none the less, al
heart and in the spirit and temper OF
her people. she is oriental to the core
She makes use OF Western wisdom
but she dlslikes the Western peoples
There never has been and indeed there
never will he any great sympathy he

ideals, are utterly antagonistic; and
they cannot in this world of ours

THE United States had exercised a
