Union, then England.
Two considerations at
present impede the japanese
scholars of war from putting
their program into practice.
The first is that the three
schools are constantly quar-
reling among themselves.
The second is that few in
e ach school occasionally
wonder if their appointed
victims will allow themselves
to be picked off one by one.
These few, however, are
known as Sissies.
POWER DIVIDED
Power in Japan is divided
among the navy, the army,
and the business world. The
Navy is divided between
those who prefer to wipe out
first the American fleet. The
army is divided between
those who wish to. strike now
at the Soviet Union and
those who wish to strike
later.
The business world is d.
vided between those who are
making money out of the
present war, and want more
of it, and those who are
losing money and want no
more war. The last are
known as traitors.
No victims of future ag-
gression have ever been so
fully warned by the ag-
gressor as the Western pow
ers have been warned by
Japanese spokesmen. Yet
there are still optimists in
the Western world who re-
fuse to believe what the
Japanese tell them.
FEWER OPTIMIsTs
Each new attack by the
Japanese armed forces on
Western nationals reduces
the number of Western op-
timists, and even the i'm
placably cheerful Times of
London now admits that
the incidents show that the
j apanese e crusaders are,
whether instinctively or de-
liberately, bent on the ex-
trusion of the white powers
from China"
A m er C a, however, always
buoyant, still leads perhaps in
the number of persons resolved
to believe the best and willing to
accept the foreign Offices as
Surance that Admiral SuetSugu,
minister of the interior and can
didate for the premiership of
Nippon, was wrongly quoted
when he declared in a japanese
political review:
THE commercial interests of
the whites must disappear before
the sun of the NipponeSe mis-
sion. The yokes of the whites
over the yellow must disappear.
OF course. a rapid emancipation
will mean a general conflagra-
ton. put let there be no mis-
understanding, the result will be
the same, a general conflagra-
ton. So fate DEGREES.
DENIAL BRAZEN
Such a placid forecast of ia
pans intention to make war by
one of the men who, in the
cabinet of the government.
would be among those to decide
to make war, brought pressing
inquiries to the Tokyo foreign
Office.
mo" the foreign Office de-
ciared with the simplicity of
utter truth, mo, he did not say
it." This method of denial stag
gers the newcomer to the East.
