She thought that to attain berobject it would be sufficient to ask, and for its success, the mere undertaking. yet so far her representatives have recorded poignant setbacks. Jaionji, Makino, Matsui, and others wonder what figure they will cut before ancient chiefs of the feudal clans, disguised as chosen mambers of Parliament, when the hour of explanation comes.

"Japan, under her superficial changes, has preserved fundamental structure of the past. It is an absolute monarchy under the cloak of aristocracy. The people do not count, and when they demonstrate, they are fired upon in the name of modern pró- gress. If the Tokyo Cabinet entered the war in 1914, it was because it foresaw there was SOMG profit to be made, and besides it only mobilised to just the extent necessary for the realisa- tion of its designs. It threw itself on the German possession of Kiaochau only for the pur pose of making for itself a name in Europe. While the Great Powers-and in particular America, her rival in the Pacific

had their eyes elsewhere, she (Japan) WAS systematically absorbing the Celestial Republic. She would have eagerly establish- ed her direct rule over this im- mense territory had nots China resisted and, with the assistance of outside intervention, repulsed her attempts with losses.

the concession a mockery.

"When the League of Nations gave its' sanction by its initial Covenant, she asked for the equality of races and nations. There was no love of prin ciple in it but a practical interest, for the American

States of the Far West had tried to restrict the rights of her na- tional immigranta. This satisfac- tion was refused to her. Finally, as she expresses the intention of only returning Kiaochau to China conditionally (and these condi. tions might well have again meant an attempt at a protecto- rate in disguise), the great Eu- ropean Powers refuse to sub- scribe to this ambition...

All these collisions betweep the Allies, if they show the bitter feelings of the annexationists, the unbridled greed of the powerful

capitalists, retard the power of peace and prepare the road for future wars.
