AGAINST BRITAIN

Vivid Example Of Clever Japanese Propaganda

BELOW IS AN EXTRACT FROM AN ARTICLE by a prominent Japanese politician and "educationalist," which gives a vivid example of the clever propaganda by which the higher-placed ones in Japan are trying to sow the seeds of antagonism against Great Britain.

The author of the article is Dr: Ujirs Oyama, formerly Consul- General at Los Angeles, and the thoughtful reader can easily see the undertone of his theme, which, while, chastislar Britain, seeks in- sidiously to gain sympathy from the United States.

This consideration on the part of the Japanese has, of course, been proved by incidents, such as the machine-gunning of the British Ambassador, the bombing of H.M.S. Ladybird. assaults on British sub- jects, etc. Or perhaps these were. accidents.

The author touches briefly on Soviet Russia, which, "no doubt, desires to see Chiang retreat into northwestern part of China, so that he may be kept within com- munist influence." As a matter of fact, according to Dr. Oyama, there is a sort of struggle between Soviet Russia and Great Britain to make political capital out of the Chiang regime! From this angle, he stressed the importance

of the prompt occupation of Can- ton and Hainan,

"No time should be lost in carry- ing out such a plan. Dr. Oyama concludes. Delays are dangerous

in matters of importance. If the far-reaching British policy ma- terialises, as no doubt it will unless Japan acts promptly, we fear that we shall find not only, that our ses defence line will be blocked, but also that our objective, mainly the overthrow of the Chiang regime; will meet with a setback."

Since these words were written, Canton has been captured; there- fore Japan's troubles should be half or three-quarter over, accord- ing to the writer's point of view. But do events day by day bear this out?
