Toxic. Sept. 90. (By Mail. -
Japan's chief goal at the peace con-
ference should be to obtain an open
door for immigration to Australia,
India, Canada and the United States,
writes E. Uyehara, member Of parlla-
ment, in Japan and the japanese,
popular fortnightly magazine of
Toxic. Uyehara was a member Of
the parliamentary commission which
visited America early this year.
England, the League of Nations
theory is finding strong support 4
Uyehara writes, A league cannot
be realized when Britain, which pos
sesses so much of the earth. adopts
an exclusive policy in her own terri
tory. Should all the natural resources
in British possessions be monopolized
permanently by their own nationals,
it would be inevitable that the nom
British nations would pursue mill
taristic aggressive policy against her.
America is fighting to safeguard
the independence and rights Of the
small nations, it claims This must
mean that the small nations are to
be given the right developing their
own destiny without molestation or
interference It is not calculated to
garantee the independence and rights
~of small nations for strong powers to
monopolize the benefits accruing
from their vast natural resources.
Again, the policy of eonfning a
large number of people within their
own territory of limited dimensions,
such as Japan, does not tend to
assist the civilization of the world,
nor is such a policy calculated to
bring about the peace of the world.

,JAPANMAY take ITSPLACE
A1PEACE TABIEOF TIEALLIES

'sIt is clear in these circumstances
that Japan's advocacy of the open
door principle will meet with no dis
sent from Britain or America, even
though it may he recognized that the
immediate enforcement of this prin-
ciple is attended with many diff
culties.
while claiming the open door in
territories bordering the Pacific,
Japan ought to insist that America
grant independence to the Philip
pines. Americas suspicious Of Japan
have been the obstacle to her grant
ing this independence, and therefore
Japan's expression of readiness to
guarantee the independence, acting in
concert with Great Britain and
America, may induce the latter to
comply with Japan's proposal.
Japan also must insist that Hawaii
be made a neutral zone. The in
dependence Of the Philippines and
the neutrality of Hawaii are MT
questions which are important FOR
their own sake, but Japan must con
trive for their realization as means
TO give effect to Americas principle
of safeguarding the independence
and rights of small nations, and also
as the first step in the direction of
enforcing the open door principle in
regard to immigration.
"Japan's efforts to carry this great
principle at the peace conference
may pave the way for establishment
to great international ideal, even
through her efforts are not crowned
with immediate SUCCESS. Moreover,
her claims will be received with
universal sympathy and support by
the Asiatic peoples, and thus the
