A Policy Of Piracy

I think it is a generally ac cepted fact that. a nation knows instinctively when it is in the right and when it is the wrong. Japan is clearly in the wrong, and not even the propaganda and re- pression by her ruling class can hoodwink the masses of the people. There is every indication that Japan is troubled from within. China, on the other hand, is only troubled from outside.
"A blockade is definitely an act or aggression not only, against China but against the world at large. Does Japan imagine that she can get away with brigandage and piracy? Perhaps the attitude of the Powers of the West regard- ing the Mediterranean acts of I- will give Japan hope that similar perpetrations in the Pacife will also be tolerated. I think not. At any rate. I hope not.

Already the Sino-Japanese crisis has developed Into much more than a mere in- cident, and I feel that by now the world has been able to detect the. great insincerity of Japan, when the self-styled leaders of that mis-s like by consulting those execu- ied nation aver with motonous re- petition, that Japan's desire to see China a happy country with every opportunity through the establish- ment of Internal peace to develop her great potentialities for the benefit of Asia in particular and the world in general, that was pre- cisely what China was successfully accomplishing when Japan' inter- fered within China's domestic ad- ministration.
The Only Course "Absolutely without justincation Japan not merely claimed but de- unded the right to abrogate the sovereign power of the Central Government. I China had re- frained from adopting a definite and defensive policy in this con- nection, then China would have immediately and irrevocably sacri- ficed each and every claim to the respect of those other Great Powers whose policies clearly indicate that they prize their territorial in- violability above all things.
