west is west and never the two shall

Opportunity for Criminal Plotter.

Mr.. President and gentlemen, what
ever the critic half-informed, or the
hired slanderer may say against us, in
forming your Judgment of Japan, we
ask You TO use only those splendid
abilities that guide this great nation.
The criminal plotter against our good
neighborhood takes advantage of the
fact that at this time of worlds crisis
many things must of necessity remain
untold and unrecorded in the daily
newspapers, but we are satisfied that
we are doing our best In this tremen-
deus work. We move together, shoul-
der to shoulder, to a certain victory
America and Japan must have many
things in which the one can help the
other. We have much in common and
much to do in concert. That is the rea-
son ! have been sent and that is the
reason you have received me here to-
day.
Il have an earnest and abiding faith
that this association of ours-this
proving of ourselyes-in the highest
most sacred and most trying of human
activities-the armed vindication of
right and justice-must bring US to a
still closer concord and a deeper con-
fidence one in the other, sealing for all
time the bonds of cordial friendship be-
tween our two nations. Again I thank
you"

japanese Ideal of National Life.

Il assure you. gentlemen. that the
Japanese ideal of national life is. in
its final analysis. not so very far re-
moved from yours. We conceive of our
nation as a vast family. held together
not by the arbitrary force of armed
men. but by the force of natural de-
velopment We shall call the common
force that animates US passion of 10y
atty to our emperor and to our homes,
as we shall call that of Americans a
passion for liberty and of loyalty to
their flag.
Blind loyalty without rational con-
seriousness of the responsibility of self
Is but another name for slavery, while
a right of liberty ill-conceived, ignor-
ing the mutual human affection and re-
spect for the rights of every man
which form the essence of true loyalty,
must be tantamount to anarchy. These
two passions-passion of loyalty and
passion for liberty-are they not really
one? Is not the same control working
in both cases-the intense desire to be
true to our innermost selves and to the
highest and best that has been reveal
ed to us? You must be free to be
Americans, and we must be free to be
japanese.

Purpose of Common Foe.

But our common enemy is not con-
tent with this freedom-for the nation
or for the individual He must force all
the world to be German, too! You had
hoped against hope that this was not
so: but that noble hope fed and your
admirable patience was exhausted. You
did not then hesitate to face the is
sue and the foe you are facing it
with that great American spirit which
has loved and still loves liberty. which
loves the right more than peace and
honor more than life.
we OF Japan took up arms against
Germany because a solemn treaty was
not to US "a scrap of paper We did
not enter into this war because We had
any selfish interest to promote or any
ill-conceived ambition to crafty. We
are in the war, insist on being in it and
We shall stay in it, because earnestly,
as a nation and as individuals, we be-
lieve in the righteousness of the cause
for which we stand, because We believ
that only by a complete victory for that
cause can there be made a righteous,
honorable and permanent peace, so that
this world may be made safe for all
men to live in and so that all nations
may work out their destinies untram-
meled by fear.

ITO US the fact that you are now on tho
side Of the allies in this titanic struggle
constitutes already a great moral victory
for our common cause, which We believe
to be the cause Of right and Justice, for
the strong as for the weak, for the great
as for the small.
I'VE OF Japan believe we understand
something of the American ideal of life
and we pay our most profound respects
to it Jefferson-your great democratic
President-conceived the ideal of an
American commonwealth to be not a
rule imposed on the people by force of
arms. but as free expression of the
individual sentiments of that people.
Jefferson saw Americans. not as a set
of people huddled together under the
muzzles of machine guns. but he saw
them as a myriad of Independent and
free men,. as individuals relying only
on combined military force for pro-
lection against aggression from abroad
or treachery from within. He saw a
community of people guided by a COM
munity of good thought and pure pa
triotism, using their own special tall
ents in their own special way under
their own sacred rooftrees. Not
machine-made nation. but a living.
growing organism. animated by one
passion-the passion of liberty.
