The most remarkable that of posting warning notices on the road side of pillars-has already been rectified to a large extent.

The impression is left that Japan envisages the peace of the East aa a Japanese-controlled peace-peace for everybody so long as Japan is permitted to dictate the terms. It is not without significance in this con- nexion that Mr. Hirota admita that Japan' decided to withdraw from the League of Nations be- cause other nations did not see eye to eye with her on "the fundamental principles of pre- serving peace in Eastern Asia." Japan's seizure of Manchuria is therefore an essential element in her conception of Far Eastern concord, even though in actual effect it has done more than any- thing else to bring about the present state of tension and dis- trust. Mr. Hirota further as- serts that Japan's diplomacy is WAR DEBTS based on nothing but what is legitimate and rational as con- sonant with her "national mis-
