I do not profess to any definite percepilon of "what Japan wants as the issue of her tremendous onslaught upon China, Probably a pretty accurate answer would be "as much as she can- get," but this is quite indefinite. That she has plunged into a war of conquest and annexation-never mind by what agreeable-sounding name she may term the latter-seems per- fectly clear. As "all students of Japanese military development and of Japan's strategical position have always foreseen would be the case, she is virtually sweeping all before her on the Asiatic mainland.

If the League of Nations, or any Power or Powers independent of the League, disapproves and says

so in the most arbitrary terms, the Japanese will simply reply: "Will you honourably come and turn us out!" Russia might attempt this to a limited degree in the North, I cannot imagine any other Power or probable combination of Powers making the effort anywhere else. We realize in a vague sort of way, that there must be a finite line to this Japanese invasion, but I have yet to meet anybody who would try to define it.
