ON
R.A.M.C. DANCE Hello &
HONG KONG, JUNE 19.
THE FIRST ANNIVERSARY of the Sino-Japanese war is almost at hand but so far there is no sign as to when it will all and, Indeed it would appear that the war is destined, to drag on for some time yet to come due chiefly to two things, namely the determination of the Chinese to fight to the bitter end and the irisbility of the Japanese to beat China to her knees-a thing that Japan's astute spokesinen felt could be achieved in Just a matter of weeks.
Twelve months of fighting has revealed to the world at large that Japan is far from being a first class power-a distinction that, was for some reason or other conferred upon a people unworthy of anything of that sort. During the same twelve months Japan has shown herself in her true colours and it is indeed surprising that nothing has been done by the Powers to bring home the fact to Japan that she cannot do as she pleases, even though she may claim that "she is merely waging this war for the salvation of East Asia.
...
When the "incident" of July 7, 1937 startled the world by the rapidity with which it developed into a major crisis, many felt that Japan was on her way to another conquest after the fashion of Man- chukua... But those people who formed this opinion reckoned without, the Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek who quietly but surely welded the country into one and so successful was he at that task that it did not take the Japanese war lords long to realise that they were up against in very different proposition th's time. Having pledged them
selves to the civil population of Japan that they would conquer China in a matter of weeks, the Japanese militarists, proud souls that they are, felt it would not do to go back on their word so blindly they pushed forward, caring naught how much money was spent, or how many Itves sacrificed so long as there was a chance for them to attain their objective. Boatload after boatload of innocent youth was sent from. Japan to North China to help beat the Chinese into subjection and Dead and when the ships returned to Tokyo what cargo had they? wounded soldiers.

Patriotic people that they are the Japanese civilians likewise close their eyes to realities and just as blindly dig into their pockets to help the good cause. After they had done this for a time. however,
a number of them thought that being patriotie was, after all, not such a paying proposition and they began to ask questions about the return of the money loaned by them for the war and these questions became increasingly embarrassing for the war lords as time went on. The result is that from just a handful of dissatisfed people in the Land of the Rising Sun the movement caught on and soon the whole of the non-fighting classes began to talk about an anti-war movement.
Hoping to quell the unrest for a time at least drastic changes were made in Tokyo and these included the appointment of General Ugakl as Foreign Minister in the place of Mr. Koki Hirota.
