Oite U. Mi!tl'i.UlIriJlHtl NJS5A JSWYIOUHC. JAPAN'S WAR AIMS TJTAR Is no accident, nor docs ' military disaster come like a bolt out of a blue sky. The war in the Pacific had been brewing ever since the last war came to an end, and Pearl Harbor had long been forecast by Port Arthur, where the Japanese made a simi lar sneak attack on the Russian fleet in 1904. Despite this, and despite Innumerable warnings about the coming storm, both the United States and Great Britain were caught by surprise and suf fered catastrophes which could be nullified only by years of fighting and heavy sacrifices in life and treasure. The causes for this wcro many, but two stand out above nil others. The first was the inability of the peaceful, civilized, civilian, and democratic mind, brought up on a live-and-let-llve philosophy to comprehend, or oven to accept as credible, the cold-blooded, calcu lating, and utterly, ruthless men tality of men who dream In terms of world conquest and count lives as merely , so many pawns In a game that used to bo the sport of kings. Tho second was the com placent sense of superiority, tra ditional with the West toward the East, which led to a fatal under estimation of Japan's strength and Japanese aggressiveness. Pearl Harbor and the full of Singapore nd the Philippines were the re sult, It, la therefore of the utmost Importance for every American to know what Japan's war aims arc, and how she plans to attain them. The best sources of that knowl edge are the Japanese themselves. Like the Nazis, tho Japanese have not been backward In declaring themselves. Like tho Nazis, --Irioy, too, pursued two lines an official line advancing limited alms with conciliatory gestures to contuse and divide expected opposition so that the intended victims could be swallowed one by one, and a propaganda line stating the true aims. A. Hundred Tear War Theso true alms arc even moro sweeping, more deeply ingruincd in the Japanese national churuc ter, and more fanatically pursued than those of the Nazis. They contemplate nothing less than a "glorious Hundred Year War" for the destruction of American and European civilization and the ex termination of the whole white race, after which Imperial Japan Will establish and enforce peace on her own terms. It Is a project which the Japiineso boast they started in 1031, when they con quered Manchuria as the first step toward world dominion. Though Oiey wore willing to co-operute With the Nazis and the Fascists in the first stages of this enter prise, these, too, would later have hud to bow to their will. But let the Japanese speak for themselves. MTAPAN Is 'the foundation and the axis of tho world. Tho world must bo unilied around Ja pan, Without unity there will be no peaco. When the world Is uni fied under one power, then there will bo eternal peace. Japan is the ruling nation of tho world." Prof. T. Komakl, Kyoto Imperial University, over Tokyo Radio, Feb. 22-27, 1042. The Empire of Nippon hoB taken tho Initiative und assumed tho role of herald of a reorganized world. ... It Is quite conceivable thut had Nippon not exposed the incapacity and worthlossncss of the League (of Nations), Germany would hurdly have been able to roarm herself, regain lost ground and forge ahead on the world stage to such a marked degree, while Italy would scarcely have been afforded us good an oppor tunity to endeavor to re-estnbllsh tho ancient Roman Empire as she has In tho past few years." Shln goro Tukuishl, chief of the Nlchi Niclii organization, In Nippon To day and Tomorrow, 1040. Destroy America, and Britain "There can bo no end to the war until Britain and tho United States arc brought to their knees. Without the annihilation of Amer ica there will bo no true greater East Asia sphere. Therefore, the enemy'B destruction must be car ried out in a most dccfslvo mun ner." Masuyuki Tunl, Foreign Minister, in broadcast, Dec. 7, 1042. "Jnpan Is firmly determined to fight, in close collaboration with Germany and Italy, even a Hun dred Year War to crush the United Slates and Great Britain." Col. Hfdco Ohira, chief of Army Press Section, at a Singapore vic tory celebration, Feb. 14, ,1042. "Our objective in thlsi war Is not only to bring about the de struction of the United States and Britain, but also to spread the New Order to the whole world." Capt. Etsuzo Kurihara, chief of Naval Press Section, Imr perlal Headquarters, on Navy Day, Muy 27, 1044. "If Japan's constructive war objective cannot be fulfilled in our lime, It Is to be. carried for ward to the next generation, and If still it is not yet dono, it is to be sent over to the succeeding generations until final victory and peaco is assured." Japanese-controlled Bulavlu Rudlo, Dec, 5, 1043. Peace Terms for America i "Complete destruction of Amer ican nuval power and maritime trade; abolition of private bank ing Institutions and trade unions; restriction of American steel and oil production; destruction of all shipyards except those building river and coastal vessels; crca-. tion'of a political authority, free from 'influences wielded by eco nomic Interests' and modeled after the 'pure sovereignty of Ja pan,' to maintain strict- surveil lance over the United States, for 10 or more yenrs, or perhaps in definitely." Japan, o so. poace terms drawn up by two experts, Rear Admiral Tanetsugu and Yasal Nishiya, and wirelessed by Dome!, official Japanese news agency, to the United States, May 23, 1044. "I am looking forward to dic tating peaco to tho United States in the While House at Washing ton." Adinl. Isoroku Yamamoto, Commander In Chief of the Jap anese Navy, In letter duted Jan 21, 1041.

Calif. of which brought forth a storm of abuse in French, heaped on the head of the future ruler of Japan. "Kinii," he appealed to one of his aides, "I didn't expect so i much conversation. Sli-e seemed to have her back up." So to .his large and halo. lady, whomsoever shu. muy have louun, went the privilege of scolding thj "son of Heaven" for the first time in moro than a tliuusand years, . Once while driving through Paris in an official parade, Hiro hito exchanged coats with one of his aides, told him to look stiff and tincommforlahlc, and slipped out of thj ear to explore Paris. The prn-'cssiim went. on,, the crowd applauding i.Iip uniformed figure who sat bull upright, an rfleetive substitute fur the iirince icifrnl of Japan. These ai. snme of Ihe tilings w hich had led many inissionul it.s and slab' department officials to the conclusion that llirobito is hheial ami moderate. Unuties- ! iloiubly he is mine moderate than the military men around him; perhaps also it is true that i he was opposed to Hie war. However.
