Japanese Army And Navy
Have Differences
That a quarrel amongst thieves may be expected to be going on is provided by a report from Shanghal to the effect that the two branches of Service comprising the invading Japanese horde, name=. ly the Army and Navy, have fallen out. The news requires, further confirmation, but there would seem to be some ground for suspicion. In the fact that neither one side would recognize the passes issued to neutrals by the other. It has been the view of the usually well- informed that there has never been real cohesion between the two camps and the latest situation, if true, is of vital interest.
A study of the Navy's position and function in relation to the part played by the Army in Japan's Internal and external affairs would tend to show that for some considerable time now there has existed a certain amount of rivalry between the two commands. Al- though their basic aims are the same, it must be recorded that the Navy is dissatisfied with the llunited opportunities it has had lately. In all the dirty business which the brazen war-dogs of Tokyo have shamelessly undertaken on Chinese territory, the Navy can only regard itself as an accessory. To the Army is attributed the most credit for all the spoils. It is the Army that is always sung and toasted, and it is to the Army that the lion's share of the enormous finance.appropriations go every year.
The Navy has undoubtedly lost little by little the hold which.. I once had on popular Japanese imagination, which dates back to' the days of Admiral Togo. In the plundering of Chinese provinces,
the Army has had the most work to do. The seizure of Manchuria was largely the Army's doing, and subsequent depredations on ad- joining territory was also the accomplishment of the Army alone. The Navy, Impatient for action, found none to suit Its taste; only transport and patrol work which afforded, slim chance for the achievement of glory." Outshone and outvolçed. It devoted Its at- tention to the "Southward Expansion" movement, the pursuance of which would most certainly call for extensive naval activity and leave `ng room for questioning its essential utility.---
The stationing of an abnormally large number of marines in Shanghal provided the Navy with what it regarded as an important duty; it was in reality a slep taken in defiance of the Army Staff.. It is beginning to be generally understood that the present outbreak- in that area was welcomed, If not deliberately provoked, by the Japanese Naval Command, who were already highly jealous of the Army's progress in the North. Hostilities developed, however, to such an extent that the Army again had to take. the field.
Forced more or less to the rear, the Navy struck, back with a . blockade of the coast. But a blockade was not called for, sinee. It could never seriously hamper entry of supplies into China without Interfering with the rights of other nations; and this, Incidentally, may be the reason why other interested governments adopted such

The only major outcome of the block- ade to date has been, the series of barbarous outrages against small, defenceless craft, an atrocious adventure that has brought the Japanese Kavy a great deal of public notice and a still greater share of public condemnation. As if this were not enough, foul, as it is, the Navy proceeded in its cruel and reckless quest for attention and "honour" by pouring the fury of bomb and shell on harmless vll- lages and open towns, which in its despatches.
