JAPAN's HOME CRITICS.

Japan's occupation of German island pos
sessions in the Pacific and the siege of Tsingtau
were accompanied by the repeated statement
! that her operations were not for territorial
expansion or conquest, but for temporary mill
tary purposes alone Again and again from
Toxic have come semi-official and official
statements which have been interpreted, by
Americans certainly, to mean that Japan ufti-
mately intends to restore TsingtauSto China
and to withdraw from tile Pacific islands when
the war is over, Is ss4&N .ssss
/ The Star Bulletin has drawn attention on
several occasions to the changing tone Of some
Of the Japanese newspapers fairly close to
.officialdom. "a part Of the Nippon press now
apparently believes Japan should hold to what
lit has gained. < - Id, 4 q
But this view is bitterly opposed by a large.
influential and rapidly growing group Of Jap

that she learn to obey whatever is. dictated by
Japan, and that Kiauchau should BE retained
by Japan In rpetuity. But the opponents Of
this strong policy were in the minority The
