cording TO DIR. Masuji Miyakaws. tray
eler and lecturer. At the University
Club last night DR.. Miyskawa deliv-
cred a lecture on Japan" depicting

the Japanese point Of view.
Japan" said DIR. Miyskswa, "is to-
day the most misunderstood country in

ike spirit on some other nation, as has
been told Japan has never waged war
except in defense of it's existence In
both the war with China in 1S94-5 and
with Russia ia 1e04-5, the vitality OF
Japan was at stake, because these two
countries aimed TO acquire Corea and
