JAPAN REVIEW
Japanese Asia
A Japanese Asia would be a danger to the world, declared Vis- count Cecil, presiding at a meeting In London in connection with the first British National Congress of the International Peace Campaign. Viscount Cecil was not only expressing the opinion of his own coun- try, but also of those which have vital interests in the Far East. Great Britain, the United States. Holland, and France parti- cularly cannot but notice that for the past five or six years the
exceedingly tortuous, .con- course of Japanese polities has been tradictory and obscure. One moment Japan casts covetous eyes on the adjacent coast of Fukten Province, and carries on a large Japan- ese colonisation and extensive development in and around Davno in the extreme southern end of the Philippine Islands. Another moment she looks enviously on the Netherlands East Indies, and the fear of Japan's southward expansion" policy has evoked frequent comments from the Dutch press.
*** Judging from the book "Japan Must Fight England" written by Ileutenant-Commander Tota Ishimaru, of the Japanese Imperial Army, there is reason to believe that Japan's territorial ambitions even extend to British possessions. "Without the presence of a Bri- tish feet at Singapore," the writer declares, "then certainly Aus- tralia, New Zealand arid even India would immediately fall into our hands."
Strong Action Needed
Though Japan has time and again given assurances that she bus no aggressive Intentions and no territorial designs at the expense of others. her assurances and re-assurances, viewed in the light of recent events, afford not the slightest guarantee of this. Will not the Powers having interests in the Pacific do something to restore Japan's sanity?
The Powers supporting the League can put a stop to all the inischiefs of Japan by taking note of this fact: Japan has practically no raw materials of her own. She must import all her cotton, most
of her wood pulp and non-ferrous metals, much iron and all her oll and rubber. The only raw material she produces in large quantities is silk, and the United States takes ninety per cent. of the total ex- port..
Viscount Cecti hopes that the spirit in which peace loving nations enter the Nine Power Conference is going to be to insist on spiri: which produced the disaster of 1935. If Japan lost the war it would be the greatest beneft that could happen to her, because she might thereby win back her own soul.
