GERMANS IN JAPAN,

PROTEST AGAINST HARSH TREATMENT.

We call the following from the Japan Chronicle -

The opinion has already been expressed in these columns that the confiscation of private pro perty is in any case an outrage against international law. But there are degrees of confiscation. Suppose & Berlin dye works main- tained a branch manufactory in Japan, a German pottery had a lease on a bed of Staffordshire China clay, or а German rubber works owned vast planta- tion in Ceylon, it would be against international law to confiscate them; but it is this sort of thing which the Allies had in view when they decided to create this very dangerous precedent. They did not have in view, and have not acted as though they had in view, the attachment of a German re- sident's house, or office furniture, or banking account. Now that the war is over and peace signed German and Austrian residents in Britain or America can do what they like with their person- al belongings, and can pursue their own business. German commercial travellers, it is said: are in England again and English travellers in Germany, and there is free buying and selling. But not so in Japan. A few weeks ago a short list was published of experts in various lines for whom soms Japanese manufacturers interested had provided posts. Japanese are rushing at German trade. But the German

in Japan, whether he is a civilian resident or a prisoner of war, is worse off than he was a year ago. He cannot live, except upon his capital, he cannot do a stroke of business by wholesale or retail. If he is a prisoner of war he must remain a prisoner. He cannot

get repatriation (except by abjur- ing his country) and he is not even allowed to seek honest employment. In England they are liberating Germans but in Japan they will not even let them work.

"This sort of thing naturally reacts on the Japanese them- selves. It is all very well for the big firms who can send their own ships to Germany, and open their

own offices in Germany with A. German employees; but smaller merchants and manu- facturers who would like to do some German trade find them- selves unable, because the meri who could do it for them are not allowed to. It is possible, of course, that the present treat. ment of Germans in Japan has. been deliberately contrived by the big concerns which want to have "direct trade" and a mon- opoly in direct trade. If so it might be pointed out that, by stopping up avenues of trade, Japan will lose fair more that the five or six paltry millions of yen she might gain by selling up every German in the country. The thing may also be regarded in: the light of a direct breach of faith. When Japan declared war on Germany Marquis Okuma issued a proclamation promising freedom and security for enemy subjects who abided quietly and obeyed the laws. For a long time thereafter there existed every facility for the Germans to transfer themselves and their) property to the United States or other neutral country, where they. could enjoy at least the right to work for a living and to spend their own money in any legiti mate manner. They relied how- ever, on the Premier's word and this is the result! The deportations from China

were

a still grosser breach of faith- committed under. Allied compul-] sion. Of course, if the Japanese Government can show that in its present procedure it is acting under pressure, like China, it can save its reputation at the cost of its dignity. Otherwise it is to be hoped that the outcome of the present deliberations in the Home Office will be a prompt revision of policy. It is most likely, as already stated, that the highest authorities do not themselves know how the orders they have issued are being misinterpreted by subordinates who do not understand their spirit and inten- tion. It seems a great pity that in a war where Japan began by showing an enlightened example to all her Allies she should, through more misapprehension, end, in a company in which in- ternational behaviour has sadly deteriorated, by behaving worst of all"
