NANKING, November rs (DelayeO.-
Charges brought by Japan before the
Council of the League of Nations that
Chinese schools are deliberately foster
ing anti-foreignism are countered here
by the Association for the Study OF
Japanese Affairs" Chinese body.
This organization retorts to the ef-
feet that the Japanese hands are none
too clean in this respect. 1t has pub
lished a booklet quoting japanese
speeches and school text books to prove
its countercharge.
passages that are not entirely convinc-
ing, but, Furthermore, have only the
associations authority that they are
correctly translated into English.
U. S. "BeIligerency" Hit.
Allegedly quoting former japanese
military leader" the booklet reads:
1T would not be incorrect to say
that industrial countries, especially the
United States, are always bellig2rent.
Firmly entrenched in economic power
and monopolizing the world market,
the United States is very aggressive as
far as its foreign policy is concerned.
Its national history is only 300 years
old, but it is a history that is steadily
pepetra ting westward"
Later en-. referring to the same
source, the booklet adds:
Posing as the guardian of the open
door policy, the United States, since
the first decade of this century. has
been for long time cherishing the
conquest of Manchuria and Mongolia,
thinking that to control Manchuria is
to control the world"
Still further, according to the pur-
ported translation:
I'VE must always bear in mind that
our would-be enemies are Soviet
Russia, China and the United States.
The Chinese compilers of the book
let refer to book entitled, "Annexa-
ton of Manchuria and Mongolia by
Japan" as follows:
THE main traits of the Chinese, such
as cunningness, hypocrisy, cruelty and
barbarity, are the crystallizatiCn OF
1000 years. There is no necessity any
more to treat the Chinese people as
human beings. Is it not foolish for
most of the japanese people, not know
ing the exact situation of China and
the wicked nature Of the Chinese pee
PIE, to deal with China as civilized
nation?"
"China Must Be Subjugated."
China must be subjugated, our inter-
ests in Manchuria must be protected
and the prestige of the japanese Empire
must be maintained" declares further
quotation After the establishment of
the independent states of Manchuria
and Mongolia, Japan should go step
further, anneXing Manchuria and Mon
go,ia. This can be accomplished by
peaceful means through diplomatic
channels so as net to arouse the suspi-
cion and interference of other nations -
A Japane-e writer named Kimura
Hideyoshi is also drawn upon in the
booklet. He is said to have written. in
preface to a volume entitlsd "Japanese
Education and Manchuria," as follows.
Japan cannot exist without Man
churia. The annexation of Manchuria
is ordained by providence in order to
maintain the balance cf its natural re-
sources. So vital has Manchuria become
to Japan that We can say that without
Manchuria there will be no Japan.
Therefore, to preserve its existence
Japan must annex Manchuria at al
costs"
Other passages quoted by the Chinese
Association tending to point to japanese
teaching CT anti-foreignism, as well as
promoting of sentiment against the
Chinese, fail of this particular object,
but strikingly show that the japanese
educators are keen students of modern
economic history from the Oriental
point of view.
