That happened to Italy and

4 CCORDING TO a japanese
n broa d st. "Shigemitsu's
principle is not to reject any
hand that offers peace"
That was before Bataan.
Today that statement cannot be
questioned.
If the japanese knew how 10
disengage themselves from this
war. they would.
The name Shigemitsu means
little to most Americans but for
many years. he was a close
friend of mine in Shanghai. He
was also a close friend of T. V.
Soong who was at that time
minister of finance in Chang
Kai-shek's government. This
was many years ago, and the
world was then at peace.
In those days, Baron Shide-
hara was minister of foreign
affairs of Japan and he jumped
Shigemitsu over many older
heads because Shigemitsu got
on we'll with the Chinese, par
ticularly with Soong.
Baron Shidehara discussed
with me the advisability of such
an appointment, b cause in
those days some regarded me as
one who knew something Of
Chinese processes. OF course,
today such knowledge is picked
up more fully in Texas than in
China.
4 ND so my mind goes back to
"A years of conversation with
Shigemitsu.
He il was who once told me
that unless China and Japan,
back in the late 1920s, found a
formula for peace. Japan would
be involved in war and that no
war could benefit Japan
His theory then was that IL
Japan could have another half
century Of peace she would be-
come in reality one of the
mightiest nations on earth: that
If Japan were forced TO fight
major power, no matter who
won the ostensible victory
Japan would be weakened be-
yond recognition.
This view was also held by
Baron Shidehara who was
stabbed when the current mad
ness began.
What l have not understood,
not liking to gT such informs-
ton secondhand, is why the mill
tarists employed Shigemitsu as
their minister Of foreign affairs.
Perhaps IL is because while
they run the show. he does not
really count.
Or his personality and views
may have changed since knew
him well.
The last time I saw him was
in the office of T. V. Soong In
Nanking where we discussed the
financial problems irking both
China and japan. <t
NOW his name bobs up again
~ and ii will continue TO, for
Japans peace offensive must
