Tokyo Spokesman Seeks Division of the Earth

IN

NA REMARKABLE BOOK PUBLISHED IN TOKYO, TATSUO KAWAI, SPOKESMAN OF THE JAPANESE FOREIGN OFFICE, REVEALS THAT THE ULTIMATE JAPANESE AIM IS THE DIVISION OF THE EARTH INTO THREE SPHERES, ONE OF WHICH WILL BE ENTIRELY DOMINATED BY JAPAN.

The book is entitled "The Objectives of Rising Japan." It ends with a title bearing the optimistic heading "The Dawn in Asia."

Mr. Kawai seriously puts forward the popular Japanese thesis of division of the world into three separate and independent areas, Asiatic, European and American.

Renouncing any desire to intervene in Europe or America, the author says, resents any pretensions of European powers and of the United States to wield political influence in the Far East. He sums up his ideas on this point in the following statement:

CHINESE ARTILLERY SHELLING CANTON

"Pence and prosperity must be brought in the European cultural area by the European forms of government of the European peoples, in the Ameri can cultural area by the indivi- ! dual control of the Pan Ameri- can Union, and in the Asiatic cultural area by the union and collaboration of Japan, Manchu- kuo, and China."
