The Japan Advertiser publishes the following translation of ад article written by Lieut. General Kojiro Sato:- National morals compared to indivi- dual morals in the present condition of the world do not seem to have advanced to as high a stage as individual morals. However, in the history of Japan from its earliest beginnings, the individual morality of the Japanese people and the morality of the pation do not appear to be different.

The Europeans and Americans kept quiet about it, and so it seems to the world that the Japanese people were the only ones who had ignored international morality,, Not. only the armies of Europe and America looted, but the nations also took overy- thing they could get from China.

Alter the Boxer revolt the Russo- Japanes War began. By that time the Japanese people had become a little less simple-hearted. But compared to Europe and America the Japanese were still Very simple-hearted. And after the Russo-Japanese Way there were some points in our policy towards China, When Jingo Koko (the Empress Jingo) which following after those of Europe attacked Korea (date uncertain 919, 933 and America, might have been criticized for 249 A.D. maybe!) many instructions from the standpoint of international were issued to the invading troops.

There were other instructions with the same meaning. They were faithfully obeyed and even the enemy captives were not harmed,

"When Hideyoshi invaded Korea (1302-1506) A.D.) it is written in the histories compiled by the Koreans thein- selves that the Japanese treated the peuple of the country with every civility; The curpses of the enemy were buried with booours! Such things are greatly Fraised in these books, and the Japanese were highly lauded for the faithful obser- vänce of their promises to the Koreans.

It would have been quite enough to say China, has insulted Japan concerning the terms of the Tientsin treaty," These remarks of Lord Rosebery appeared in the papers.

Whit observations can we make con- cerning international morality in the ate great war? Germany utterly ignor ed it, while the Allied countries in every respect
superior to the German countries. Still at the peace conterence their demands on Germany were too severe, From the standpoint of international morality theso demands were certainly not right. Still more, America proposed a League of Nations, and then later refused to join it herself. No matter what her reasons may have been we must say that America "com pletely ignores international morality. Because of all this, international morality has not advanced as the result of the Great War, I think. Only the Laugue of Nations-shows a little-pro-
THE WAR WITH CHINA, At the time of the China-Japanese-war the international morals of the Japanese people were entirely disinterested, and it was because of this disinterestedheas of our nation. that the declaration of war was so worded. Because of this faith during the war avery effort was made not to violate the principles of international public law. But even at that time the people of Europe and Amerien out of perfectly rootless facts manufactured u story of a massacre of Chinese at Port Arthur. In fact they gress. said that the Japanese people utterly ignored all the rules of international. morality. During the course of, the China-Japanese War Japan won many notable victories, but we did not attempt to expand our rights nor did we take any booty or loot even a little bit: there was not even one private individual whe brought back loot from the seat of war.
When I was living in Europe I visited many German officers in their homes and was shown the objects d'ars they had collected.
They would frankly tell me "I took this from Paris at the time of the Franco-Prussian War" of many things in their houses. And in the in stractions to the French Army there are even written article, such as this regulations covering the taking of per- sohal booty."

We must utilize the League of Nations because it is necessary that international morality should advance. Now it wa compare the individual morality of America and Exrope, with their national morality, the national morality is found Dot faithful international morality, but when compared to the in- dividual morality of the Japanese, we find that the individual morality is un- faithful. What is the cause of this? When the ports of the country were open- ed we were threatened by Europe and America, and the Japanese people were greatly frightened. Because of this 'they bowed down before the Europeans and the Americans, and they can
not, yet shake off this feeling of fear.
The world to-day is a white man's world; $50,000,000 white, people oppress 1,120,000,000 coloured people. How do they ill treat them I have explained all this in "How Japan is betrayed," and have stated this fact concretely in that book. If we look around the world carefully we can easily see that the golden age of international morality has not yet come."
MOTORISTS IN THE STRAITS.
THE LEFT-HAND DRIVE.
At the time of the Boxer trouble (in 1900) if we look through the diplomatic correspondence of the time we will see that Japanese troops were landed in North China under pressure from Great Britain. At that time for financial and other reasons Japan hesitated very much over taking the steps. And a dispatch from England reads Japan's hesitation to send troops is not faithful to inter- national morality." When Japan finally did send troope and engaged in the at- tacks on Tientsin and the Peking walled city, the Japanese troops were given the most difficult positions to masault. The damage "sustained by Japan in compari- son to other countries was the greatest. England, America, France, Germany, Italy, always stayed where the lose was least, and only looked on at the war. In the taking of rights, and loot, at the end of the siege of Peking, Europeo constructed which has been registered and America got the finest things.
