His ostensible reason for return

Holland last May 10, was TO see his

on her part to maintain that ia
pans desire for a sphere of trade,
and a sphere of influence, and a
sphere of defense In the Orient
"betokens ambitious designs"
TAPAN'S authoritative exposition
y of her position Is at least
worth careful consideration before
we rush into war.
The speech Of Japan's foreign
minister is certainly much more
temperate and argumentative than
the utterances of some of our own
diplomats" who rise on their hind
legs only to fill the air with vulgar
abuse, provocative of i'll feeling
and conducive to war.
Nothing perhaps will prevent
our war maniacs in Washington
from plunging us all into war.
But why, i'm the name of the Oc-
cidentaI civilization we extol and
exalt, should not the United
States, paralleling Japan's more
pacific attitude. attempt moves of
mediation in Asia and Europe:
If mediation instead of spectac-
ular and offensive military inter-
ventiOn were attempted perhaps a
proper and peaceful settlement of
Asiatic and European difficulties
might be secured.
OF course such peaceful solution
of sensational situations would not
create any inflated war lords in
America, but IL might save the
lives of several million human be-
ings, 1t might prevent wholesale
destruction of all the fruits of civ
iIization, and ii might make his
toric heroes OF the American
statesmen responsible for such a
beneficial solution.

anese statesmen and a certain de-
gree of sincerity too.
As a matter of fact Japan gave
evidence OF pacific and conciliatory
inclination when she offered TO
mediate the IndO- China war be-
tween the French forces and Thai
land.
The offer was accepted by the
Vichy government of France.
We in America had expected
Japan to invade IndO- China and
occupy large parts of ii or all of
it. and make ii AN addition to the
Japanese Empire.
We believed that even in the
mediation Japan would negotiate
to secure various weighty advan-
tages to herself.
1t was somewhat surprising,
therefore, and something in ia
pans favor. when we found that
she had concluded an extremely
fair and just mediation by which
peace was restored, the destruc-
tive bombing of cities was ended,
due consideration given to the
claims of both contrasting parties,
the disputed territory equitably
divided between them, and the
war concluded with no advantage
or apparent desire for advantage
on the part of Japan.
II WE look at the whole Japa
i nese situation calmly we will
conclude that II Is only natural
that Japan, great and growing
nation, should desire its field of
influence in the Oriental least
in its immediate field of contacts.
We of the United States want
our field of influence. want II to
extend over North America.-yes,
even in Canada.
We want ii 20 comprehend South
America.

VOSUKE MATSUOKA in his adj
i dress to the japanese Diet de-
lineated the Japanese attitude in
very clear but moderate terms.
He said that the trade embar-
goes of the United States against
Japan left Japan no alternative
save to build up a self-sufficient
trade sphere in greater East Asia.
He said that the United States
has evinced no adequate under
standing that such a trade sphere
is truly a matter of vital concern
to Japan"

pdrently entertdins the idea
that her olcn first line Of

an attitude it would be, to say the
