NOT A WAR?

Possibly no nation in the history of the universe is better qualified to answer this question than Japan. Particularly during the past half century has she shown a grievous lack of appre- cintion of China's point of view.

We believe His Excellency is particularly happy in his ability to" interpret the popular mind--and mould it when he conscientiously deems such a course in the best interests of the nation of which he is a serving leader.
