Dr. Koo warned his listeners that if Japan should ever be able to lay her hands on the whole of China, and thus obtain control of her immense manpower, her great possibilities as a market and her vast storehouse, of mineral and agricultural wealth, it was certain that she "will convert these limit- less and invaluable assets of power
