which China is lighting today: Liber-
ty, fraternity, equality! Take, for in
stance, the case of Italy or America;
theirs was not an easy struggle, it
was one that for years and decades
claimed the greatest sacrifices and
demanded the straining of all the
forces.
Before the Chinese people, too,
there lies a difficult path of strug-
gle, unless all its lost rights and
privileges be returned to it willingly,
on our model. l am far from the
slightest intention of instigating any
one; my idea is drawn from the OK
amples history gives us of the form
alton of the great nations of the
world and is based on an analysis
Of the moving historical forces as
they are developing here in China In
no other way can one escape from
that vicious circle of which | spoke
than either thru protracted strug-
gle for the rights lost or by their free
surrender.
"Don't Throw Cold Water"
Mr.. Mochizuki further said today
to his Chinese friends: Stop those
acts of violence, let, there be no vio-
lence! Well, of course, there must
be no acts Of violence, but it seema
TO me that it is reasonable to make
this appeal to both sides which are
presently at issue.
To conclude my speech, l may
venture to draw an example from the
medical life. When an alien body, an
infection, gets into a live organism,
the temperature Of that organism riss
es; this is due only to the. REACTION OF
all the sound forces of the organism,
Tits self-defense against infection.
In itself, a rise of temperature, be-
ing but the result of infection, may
in many cases play a useful part.
And the physician who would center
all his attention on the high tempera-
ture, forgetting all about the causes,
would be but a poor physician in
deed. By mistaking the effect for
the cause he might occasion the pa
tents death. To fight down the few
er alone, while neglecting the infec-
ton, is to invite a new paroxysm OF
infection with still higher tempera-
ture.
Fever naturally cxhausts the or
ganism and is a source of anxiety to
those concerned Nevertheless, it
would be irrational to seek to bring
down the temperature by covering
the patient with ice, for, without de-
stroying the infection, we might kill
the organism. In other words, one
cannot cure a sickness unless one
is quite clear as to its causes. The
events in China are most complex.
still, this should not make us mix
up the causes and effects or forget
that we won't help matters by pour
Ing cold water on an inflamed organ
ism.
Chinese viii Win in Liberation.
do not know what the issue WIN
be out Of the present situation In
China and feel certain that there Is
no one who does know it at the ac-
tual moment. But l do hope and |
am convinced that the aspirations
OF the Chinese people for national
liberation and equality in relation
ship with all the world are on their
way to infallible realization.
Whatsoever the way, whether il be
BY following the example of Italy.
America or the Union of Soviet So
cialist Republics, or again, any new
ways to be found by the Chinese peo-
pie themselves am confident that
the day is not far OF when China
will establish really good and friendly
relations with all the countries OF
the world on basis Of true equality
and justice. This is my warmest
wish.
