He added that it would take two OF
three years and the efforts of 10000
japanese soldiers to suppress banditry
end bring real peace to this troubled
land. He said Japan now had only
5000 troops in the whole of Man.

1T is essential" he said, that We put
Jehol under Manchukuo's control. With
out order established there, peace can
not be maintained on this side Of the
present border.
I'VE may launch our Jehol campaign
within a few weeks; certainly it will

chukuo and, by inspiring bandit raids
and kidnapings, is trying to give foreign
powers the impression that neither
japan nor the new state can keep order

I'VE do not seek further clashes with
his armies, but he probably will force

Sponsibility for the consequences"
The general asserted that Japan had
no intention of absorbing Manchurian
territory as an integral part OF the en-

I'VE want Manchuria only for COM
mercial and industrial purposes. he
said. Also we need it as home for
those of our surplus population who
wish to come here.

from the United States Australia, New
Zealand and several other countries,
Brazil welcomes us, but mostly We are
driven toward China which has no bar

Also we must depend increasingly
upon this territory for coal. timber,

Manchurian trade in fact, is vital to our
national existence.
Ii the League of Nations or any one
or two powers tries TO thWart our plans,
we must resist with all our might
Hence it follows that we cannot accept
in any sense the dictates of the report
which the Lytton Commission made at
Geneva.
But it will be necessary to allow
Manchukuo to develop her own policies
Japan will give the new state every
legitimate assistance, but we shall not
attempt to dominate the government
nor force our will upon the people.
IF it is to succeed, Manchukuo will
require the continued help not only OF
japanese experts, but of engineers,
architects business men and advisers
from other foreign countries like the
United States She also will require
foreign capital to exploit her enormous
natural resources, lay new roads. con-
struct railways, build electric power
plants and erect factories"
Gen. Koiso said it was also Japan's
aim to assist Manchukuo in the devel-
opment of moral civilization"
We wish to teach the people here
the principles of what we call the
kingly way which is the code OF our
life in Japan" he explained. In that
code We find the foundation OF our
ethics, our conduct and our lives.
If Manchukuo follows this 'kingly
way she cannot fail to become a great
