JAPANESE OPINION ON THE CHINESE

SITUATION.

NON-INTERVENTION ARDENTLY ADVOCATED.

CHINA'S

FRIENDSHIP ESSENTIAL

TO JAPAN.

-The following-extracts from Japanese papers show clearly that a large section of opinion in Japan is bitterly opposed to the Shantung Expedition and to any form of intervention in Chinère afair. There is a strong current of sympathy with China and references are made to Japan's own emergence from a medieval · social, economic and military system.

If Japan could live apart from China, well and good, but if we have to be friends with out next-door neighbour in order to get iron and coal from her and sell the products of our indus- tries to her, then we should con- sistently act on a policy calculated to bring the desired end about. "

Britala Blamed.

So long as the Japanese residents remain in China amidst the wars that are unfortunately going on there, they should be prepared to share the same fate as the Chinese When many Chinese are being killed or wound- ed in the turmoil," the Japanese residents have no right to claim complete security. It is selfish of them to demand the dispatch of Mr. Nakano Seigo, a Minseite troops from home when it may Member of the House of Repre cause a serious impediment to the sentatives, remarks in the same movement which Chinese are carry journal -Britain's expedition to ing on at the risk of their lives.

The weak point of China's position is that she is unable to protect foreign residents, but it is not manly for foreign Powers to take advantage of China's misfortune and freely and troops on her territory. If the foreign towers really sympathise with China's aspirations for re- organisation, as they profess to do, they should withdraw their nation als from China for a time so that the contending parties may adjust their quarrel without interference. Feudal Contempt for Neighbours.

Prof. Abe, of the Shakwai-Min- shute (Social Democratic Party), says in the Gakwan:-There are three things which Japan must do in order to cultivate the friendship of China and in default of which no amount of statesmanazip will be of any avail. In the first place, most Japanese are accustomed to hold the Chinese in contempt, taking it for granted that they are an inferior people.

The young officers of the South North, wore sandals on their bare on their expedition against the feet, as it were, but when they came to the magic stream, the Yangtze, they were converted into "modern boys" attired in ladies' clothes. Coming in contact with the im- mense wealth of the Yangtare, the centre of wealth in China, they learned how to exploit the wealth, compared with which the money supplied by Russia was a veritable drop-in-the sea
