Japan's militaristic aspiration grew
out of the historical events of the
last three decades of Japan's nation
life.
Has Earned Position.
She fought "a successful war with
China, and, among the spoils, got
Formosa. Then came the war with
Russia which placed Japan definitely
among the Great Powers. This wal
enabled her to annex Korea, buffer
between her islands and Russia.
Japan has, therefore, earned hel
rank among the western nations
through her military rather than hel
commercial and economic prowess.
Not unnaturally, too, a military am
bition for aggression is ascribed to
nearly every move she has taken in
Asia.
Little analysis has been made by
the public of western nations as to
her economic necessities, or to the
spirit that was shaping Japan's ma
tional aims and policies in the Far
East. 1t was assumed that by a
wary, military penetration she pro
posed to dominate neighboring areas
on the mainland which would give
her economic advantage and an out
let for her congested population.
Liberalism Increasing Rapidly.
What are the real ambitions and
aspirations of Japan in the Far East?
Are democratic and liberal tenden'
cies in the ascendancy, or is a de-
signing military party shaping hel
national policies?
Before the unofficial conference OF
the Vanderlip party with the japan
csc members, appeared many of the
most distinguished japanese leaders

minister of justice, Baron Megata

WASHINGTON, June 17.-Sena-
tor Warren G. Harding, Republican
nominee for president of the United
States, had been a consistent OPP
ponent of President Wilson's plan for
a League of Nations. At times he
sided with the "bitter-enders on some
of the questions involved in the dis
cussions of the treaty by the SEN
ate. He voted for the Lodge reserva-
tons both times the treaty was de-
bated, with the exception of certain
amendments proposed by the worst
foes of the treaty.
The first record of Senator Hard
ing's opposition is contained in the
round robin submitted to the senate
March 4, 1919, by Senator Lodge. He
was one of the thirty-seven Senators
who signed it, thereby notifying the
world that they disapproved the way
the President was linking the League
of Nations with the peace treaty.
On Packed" Committee.
When Republicans organized the
new congress, which convened May
10, 1919, Senator Harding was one
of those chosen by Senator Lodge in
packing" the foreign relations
committee against the League of Ma
tons. He had not been on that COM
mittee while the Democrats CONTROL
ed the senate, but had served on the
committee of commerce, naval af-
fairs, territories and others.
Aug. 20, 1919, he was one of the
members of the foreign relations
committee at the White House dis
eussing the League of Nations with
President Wilson. He interrogates the
President on the moral obligation
feature of the treaty, raising the
question as to the value of the treaty
because of this.
81 look upon a moral obligation,
he said, "as that which the conscience
of the contracting party impels. The
conscience of any nation in Europe
for example, may be warped by its
prejudices, racial geographical anC
otherwise. If that be true any natior
may put aside or exercise its judge
ment as to the moral obligation IL
accepting any recommendation of the
| league, really what do we get ou
of this international compact in thu
enforcement of any decree?"
Definite World Opinion.
President Wilson said: "We ge

the definite opinion of the world, ex

Senator Harding: "That is surren
dering the suggestion of moral OBJ
legation for this republic to the pre-
iudices or necessities of the nation
of the Old World, is it not?"
President Wilson: 81 do not un
derstand that we make such a surren
der"
Later Senator Harding said: "On
of the points l am getting at, if
can make it clear, is the necessit
of written compact for this Reput

President Wilson replied: "Sens
