the Far East will be prevented since Mr Churchill, and Mr Roosevelt have agreed that the utmost "consideration should be given to Japan's "legitimate interests" in a final attempt to divert worsening relations be- tween
democrucica and Japan into amicable channels.
Out of the many voices that ery out from Tokyo one can discern anger, defiance, blood lust and poverty but the small voice of reason has not made itself heard. The press and statesmen of Japan have lately fallen-to-criticising--Premier Konoye chiefly for a lack of decision, The fact that his position remains unchallenged however, appears to confirm the existence of a desire by many Japanese to avoid breaking down the barriers which still restrain her militarists from
running amok all over Asia. Prince Konoye is perhaps the one eminent statesman through whom it is possible for a com promise to be reached-without loss of honour. Throughout his torms of office he has acted more like the President of the country than the Premier, taking a lofty and detached view of actions which should have been inspired by his own office but which have invariably sprung from more active and ambitious colleagues such as Matsuoka and the mili- tary
- chiefs, Even to-day Prince Konoyo is accused by the Japanese press of listening to everybody and being unduly influenced by conflicting interests instead of laying down and following a firm line of his
own.
