the density of population is fast in
creasing here. The people are ener-
getic and alert, full of ambition and
power of activity. They know of no
way of stretching out their powerful
hands, Japan is destined to seek
places abroad for their activity. ia
pans perplexity because of her sur
plus population is not a problem for
Japan alone. Neighboring nations
should study calmly how this surplus
population may be disposed of. Even
if Japan had territorial ambitions,
what of that? Why should the pres
ent territorial limits of any country
be considered as the proper limits?
Territory is acquired accidental
ly. Because of such accident,
country enjoys limitless natural re-
sources, while another has to suffer
because of a surplus of population.
When such a perplexed country seeks
to change the national boundary lines

to relieve conditions which are not
just to that country, such a policy
should not be called irrational by any
means. If water or air is compressed
into narrow space, it will burst out
in an explosion. The same thing may
be said about international relations.
God blessed Japan with Siberia which
fortunately lies beside her. But ia
pan has no territorial ambition there.
She only wants to exploit the nat
ural resources there under the flag
of equality of opportunity. To OBJ
struct that policy is indeed a selfish
thing to do.
Besides, America has vast ter
ritory of her own, a virgin soil. AL
most no hand of development touch
ed her Alaska. So Americans do not
care to emigrate into Siberia. But
for Japan, emigration is of vital nee
essity. If developed properly by Jap
anese, Siberia, where large agricul-
ture is absolutely necessary, will Sc
cure agricultural implements from
America to Americas profit. There
will be mutual benefits acruing from
such a scheme. | hope that the
American government and people will
regard the question of Japan's pres
sure of population upon the means
of subsistence as a world issue"
