Japan is a very different matter: she has reached a stage of develop igent where the usual Oriental cure to overpopulation-starvation or a collapse in the standard of living would not be possible. She has not only a strong central government, but a highly intelligent and highly active public opinion that can be brought to bear upon the Govern-
ment.
Thus, while over-population in China or Malaya is à mere doraextie problem for the Chinese or Mala. yans themselves, over-population in Japan will rapidly manifnat itself in Japanese foreign policy and
become a concern for the peace of the world.

She cannot grow enough. food even for her present 65 millions: she has to impert about a fifth of all they eat.
