Japan And World Peace Classic Reprint

Excerpt from Japan and World Peace I have devoted a considerable space to Japan's relations with China, because those relations are most vital to the existence of the island nation. In speak ing of the prevailing conditions in China, I have, in the past, endeavored to express myself with re serve. But I have reluctantly come to the conclusion that the time has come when the world should be informed of the true situation. There is no use in evading the fact that China is utterly incapable of managing her own affairs, and that the civilized nations of the world must come to an agreement with a View to establishing an international guardianship for China.

Excerpt from Is Japan a Burning Menace, to the Worlds Peace? For fear that the purpose of this paper may still be wrongly interpreted, the writer feels it necessary to insist strongly at the outset that this is an enquiry, not a propaganda. If the conclusion to be reached turns out to be somewhat positive and startling (even 'perhaps to none but the writer the wish has none the less nowhere been father to the thought.

Excerpt from The Real Triumph of Japan the Conquest of the Silent Foe In times of peace the American people will not allow the maintenance of a large standing army, its presence being considered, justly or otherwise, a men ace to republican institutions. It is, therefore, more necessary to us than to any other country to have the most perfect and most efficient military system in the world; a system Whose elasticity will be sufficiently great to permit of its rapid expansion in the emer gency of war, when its great working forces must be drawn from civil life.

Excerpt from Japan, the Place and the People Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary of Japan to the United States. The rapid progress which the Japanese Empire has made within a comparatively brief period seems to be a source of surprise to foreign observers. They apparently believe that Japan has sprung almost at a single bound from mediaeval barbarism to modern civilisation. Only two score and ten years ago Europeans and Americans had nothing but the vaguest ideas concerning the Empire and its people. It is perhaps natural that they should now be astonished when they behold Japan in full enjoyment of the comity of nations, amply proving her capacity to administer constitutional government and justifying her title to all international rights and privileges. Yet no edifice of any permanence can be built upon a foundation of sand. The present advance of Japan, however marvellous it may appear at first sight, is nothing more than the normal development of the national life, facilitated by favourable environment and accelerated by opportune circumstances. It seems unfortunate, however, that the exploits of arms which have marked her recent history should be apparently the principal cause of the world's discovery that her obscurity was undeserved; because it may very easily happen that in the over-zealous estimation of such martial achievements other and equally meritorious attributes of the empire's general progress will be either forgotten or ignored. The Japanese Empire had originally great advantages over other Asiatic States in several respects. Its foundation is peculiar and unique, and owes nothing to conquest or aggression. The Empire is established upon the concord of the governing and the governed: the boundless love and benevolent care of the Throne and the loyal deference and dignified obedience of the people. The lineal succession of one dynasty has continued unbroken for 2,560 years, from the coronation of the first Emperor down to the present sovereign, during which long period the country, though not quite free from occasional disturbances of its prosperity, has never been confronted by anything like revolution in its proper sense. Such a catastrophe as a Norman invasion or Napoleonic devastation has been unknown; nor has an English Commonwealth or French Directory ever been dreamed of.
