JAPAN MOBILISES
(September 12, 1937).
War or no war, declared or undeclared, the Prime Minister of Japan, Prince Koñoye, hus issued a proclamation in which the entire nation is called-ujion to prepare itself for a titanic struggle.
This proclamation was issued on Wednesday afternoon, but, as we are well aware from first-hand information. Japan has actually been in a state of mobilisation for sotue considerable time. It seems deplorable that because the military class in Japan has been bent upon making war against China, that the masses should have been "subjected for so long to so much unwise and untrue schooling. Everybody recognises the virtue of pro- perly directed education, but education directed along chauvenistic lines is calculated to make a nation so conceited with an exaggerated sense of its own importance and impregnability that the uppermost thought in the public mind is conquest.
Patriotism since the first World War has undergone a great change in the matter of national interpretation. There was time when that roast of blind enthusiasm was vigorously honour- ed. "My country, right or wrong. It was that spirit which frecipitated strife with the consequent spilling of innocent blood. Those who fanned the flames of national hatreds were then re- garded as patriots and those who did their bidding by becoming
anon-fodder were regarded as heroes. Times changed.
The
tragedy and the misery and the complete futility of wars of aggression gradually began to dawn upon the previously poisoned minds of the masses, and the highest form of patriotism resolved itself into the ability of leaders to interpret the feelings and appreciate the sentiments, of other countries. That was truly a remarkable change because it negatived self-interestedness and self-sufficiency and thus was the way paved for what is known as
