PATRIOTISM GONE WILD

The trial of the young Japanese officers arraigned for their con nexion with the shooting of Mr. Inukai last year has only served to strengthen the appeal of the direct actionists. The callousness of the crime has been cast into the back ground; motives have been adduced as a subject for pride. Evidence has had little to do with the crime; the accused have made use of the witness box to deliver political speeches. All the comments on the case refer to the sincerity of their "patriotic fervour" no matter how tragically misguided it may have been. The influence of this spirit upon a nation whose sentiment has already been inflamed by the Manchuria adventure and its after- math can well be imagined. Alto- gether, the outlook is highly dis- turbing.
