A JAPANESE WARNING TO u. S. BUSINESS
Avoid Getting Mixed Up Politics, Advises Admiral
By Admiral Kichisabnro Nomura

exporting manufactured articles which
she hoped rich countries would admit
on liberal basis. This policy has been
made unworkable by the prevailing
world trend.
The very fact that so great, resource
full country as the United States has
adopted neutrality law, with its quasi
embargoes and trade restrictions, shows
that other nations, whose individual
natural resources are limited. must unite
and pool their economic strength to pre-
pare themselves against any emergency
which may arise.
Embargo or a threat of embargo, when
employed as an instrument of national
policy by great power with tremendous
resources against resourceless nation,
Is as potent and dangerous as war or q
threat of war. We do not live in Utopia.
We live in hard world where wars and
strifes still remain potentialities which
must be taken into account in the for
mutation of our economic policies.
am reluctant to believe that America
is opposed to the proposed economic sys-
tenn IN the abstract. No nation has q
right to Illustrate the determination of a
policy which another nation considers a
matter of life or death. If Americas
concern is not the new economic system
itself, but the preservation of her rights
and interests within the system, then we
will talk matters over with her in an ac-
commodating spirit. Even Mr.. Hay.
father of the open door principle, did
not object to spheres of influence, but
only wished to preserve American rights
within such spheres.
Trade With Manchukuo Increases,
Americans point to Manchukuo as an
example of the CLOSED door" under jap
anese influence. This criticism Is wide
OF the mark. All statistics show that
American trade with Manchukuo has
greatly increased.
Americans have been saying to Man.
chukuo, ''You are brat We do not rec.
ognize you, but we want to sell you our
wares and lots of them" That is not
the way of business. It is the way of q
saint with earthly desires. The wonder
is that America has gotten away with it
as well as she has.
Obviously, Japan could not let Amer
lea monopolize the Manchurian market.
If Japan was to pay great sums to Amer
lea for heavy goods, she herself had to
have break" by selling piece goods in
Manchuria.
What Manchuria did for American
business, China will do in the years
ahead-provided American business will
steer clear Of open-door politics.
American business In the Orient will
fare much better If it avoids getting
mixed up with politics. II American
business takes care Of itself, so will the
open door.
Sore Feeling Is Of Long Growth.
It is just as well for us to face facts
squarely and admit that the present
estrangement between Japan and Amer
lea Is not Of sudden growth, but result
Of accumulated misunderstandings ex-
tending over three decades. Japan alone
is not responsible for this. Much as I
wish to believe otherwise, America Is not
entirely blameless.

adulterated devil Within our own
memory, most powers in one stage or
another were inspired with manifest
destiny" which often swept them to
exceSseS.
We are grateful to America for the
guidance and help she gave us when we
were young-grateful for the encourage
ment given us In our titanic struggle with
Czarist militarism-gratefu for Amer
ica's sympathetic attitude toward our
aspiration for the abolition of extra
territoriality-grateful for the generous
aid to the earthquake sufferers in 1928.
We on our part voluntarily stopped our
immigration to America-acquiesced in
anti-Japanese legislation on the Pacific
Coast-made every possible concession
ut the Washington conference-repeat-
edly made it clear that We would enter
into any agreement to neutralize the
Philippines.
Certain American Acts Opposed.
At the same time we regret, and deeply,
certain American acts which seemed to
us uncalled for. We had assumed that
the Monroe Doctrine implied the golden
rule. We had assumed that the United
States. excluding alien political influence
from the Americas, would by the same
token refrain from doing in our part of
the world what she forbade others to do
In hers. -
Yet 1t Is known that America tried to
undermine our Manchurian position, won
at heroic sacrifices-that she tried at
various times to secure a naval base and
later an air base in that part Of the
China coast closest to our territory-that
she took 1t upon herself on more than
one occasion to force our retreat from
the continent On top of all this came
the immigration Act of 1924, with its
Japanese exclusion clause-this in disre-
gard Of the time-honored "gentlemen's
agreement" and of our assurance that
we would enter into any further COM
pact which would accomplish the same
result as a statutory exclusion.
Such is history. It is cited here merely
to show why at one time or another the
Japanese had the uneasy feeling that
America was seeking to check Japan's
every continental move for self-preserva-
ton. believe this feeling to be ground
less, but the facts which created It can
not be ignored.
On our part, there is every desire to
avoid conflict with America. To that
end We will bend all our energies. But
owe 1t to candor to say definitely that
there are certain things which We, for
all the friendly feeling we cherish for
America. cannot do II. Americas inten-
ton is to force US to retrace our steps
on the continent, and to "blackout" the
politico-economic cooperative union
which Japan, China and Manchukuo are
organizing In sef-defense and for SELF
preservation-then our answer cannot
but be q polite non possumus. On this
point the nation Is united.
II. on the contrary, Americas desire IL
to preserve and promote Americas
rights and interests within the frame-
work OF the new system, then there ID
every reason to believe that, given rea-
sonable time, harmonious adjustment
will be found.
