a more logical and comprehensive view
OF the needs OF Asia and is in a better
position to supply them than any other
country in the world.
2. China, like Japan, is a yellow
mans country" and will finally cast
her lot with her own kind" in resist
ing the encroachments OF the white
race. which has turned cold shoulder
to both.
3. Japan has contributed more to the
opening up and development of Asia
than the United States and is there
fore entitled to special privileges.
4. The ambitions of Japan are based
On racial psychology and would prove
oeneficent to all the peoples OF Asia
If the United States and other coun-
tries would keep their hands off.
5. Japan cannot but regard with
suspicion and distrust the pretensions
OF any white country and interpret
the policies of them as prejudicial TO
the political, economic, religious and
racial interests and her yellow neigh
bors" despite differences in "local
policies and ambitions"
Views Of Japanese Banker.
I discussed with many Government
officials and business men in Japan
every phase OF the potential issues
with which the Washington confer
ence may be called on to deal.
I'VE feel" said one Of the leading
merchants Of Osaka, that this is our
end Of the world. We believe that we
should be helped rather than hindered
in our efforts to work out our own
destiny and that of the subdivision Of
the worlds population 20 which we
belong. You have shown that you do
not want us for associates and COM
panions. Your pretension of friend
ship for China is open to question.
You do not want the Chinese among
you, but you encourage them to quar-
rel with us. whom you also do not
want. Why? The Chinese and the
Japanese people are very much alike
and in the end will be together against
q common enemy.
80 don't go away from Japan with
the impression that the peace loving
people among you have moved and
of whom you've asked questions re-
gard the new American policy as
friendly, no matter what the timid
| politicians say. Don't go with the
idea that we do not know our rights
and what Is best for us or that We
will submissively turn the other cheek
! If subjected to injustice. The Japanese
people want peace more than they
want anything else in the world. but
we want an honorable and just peace,
and we will have no other kind"
1t Is a deserved tribute to the eff
cheney of the General STAFF that no
element to the successful conduct of
| a defensive" war has been overlooked
during the last year or two. The navy
has been elevated to high plane Of
efficiency. Naval experts tell me there
is none better. type for type, in actual
| fitness anywhere on the globe. The
| Japanese army Is always ready"
Military observers tell me that Japan
can put an army Of three million in
the field within Ave months
Japan has called to her aid the best
materials and models obtainable every
where. Her agents, students and tour
lists In foreign lands are constantly
supplying information relating to
every sort of war material. The agen-
cies OF the Government working un-
der the direction of the General Staff
are developing the iron mines in Man
churia, building new steel plants. en-
ccuraging the establishment OF ma
chine shops, constructing an elabor-
ate system of tankage and godowns
