AN EMPIRE

To this add the puppet province of Manchukuo, with 32,244,000 lving in 400,000 square ities on the Sovlet's back doorstep.

HISTORY.

race joj Eighty years ROD & rice cultivators, fishermen and fendul warriors, whose only weapons were bown and arrows and spears., To- day Japan, applying feudalism to the factory, is the most highly industrialised nation in the world..

WEALTH.

A country rich in minerals gold, silver, zinc, copper, lead, iron steel and coal

Only one thing she lacks and does not own, and that is the mort precious thing in the world for Japan -oil. It comes to her from the northern half of the island of Sakhalin, whose wells she leases by treaty from the Soulet. That treaty expires this year.

One thing Japan, country of change, cannot alter is a curse laid on her by nature-earthquakes. She plans, builds, and grows, then her elties are laid in ruins, her subjects killed by thousands, her national ivork disorganised by the tremors of the earth. For Japan, wherever her Empire has thrust itself, occupies the dangerous places of the world.

RELIGION

Chief has absolute freedom. forms are Shintola-ancestor worship-with thirteen all the sects of Christianity., There is no State religion sects; Buddhism, with twelve sects; a sprinkling of
