CONQUEST VI . rlHJ5 Japanese plans for con querlng the world ore by no means qf recent origin. They go back to the "divinely sponsored exploits of the legendary Empress Jingo, who is credited with the first attempt to conquer Korea, the only world outside the Japa nese islands known to Japanese mythology. And they were car ried forward In the 10th century by Taikun Hldeyoshi, who did in , vade Korea and planned to roll up China "like a map." But the really serious plans and prepara Uons for It began when, prompted by Commodore Perry's "black ships," Japan emerged from her century-long seclusion and opened her gates to the outside world. The plans were formulated by Lord Hotta, premier to the last Taikun, in a memorial to the Em- peror Meiji, then a boy. In this memorial, Hottu laid down the fundamental principles which have guided Japanese policy ever since, namely: 1. It is the will of Heaven that the Japanese Emperor should be come the Emperor of the World, which is the first projection of the Hakko Ichlu principle. 2. Japan's foreign policy should always aim at establishing hegem ony over all nations. 3. Japan must arm herself mili tarily and economically lav that tusk. How It Was Carried Out This policy wa3 put into prac tice by a swift modernization and Industrialization of Japan which amazed the world, though the fact that it rested primarily on a large scale armament industry spon sored by the state was often over looked. It garnered its first fruits in the annexation of adjacent islands; which whetted the appe tite for more. And It scored Its first triumphs In the wur agulnst China in 1894-05, and especiully In the war agulnst Russia In 1804-O.t. In this war, Japan first matched her prowess against an Occidental world power und won not only victory but also Korea. The next step aimed at estab lishing Japanese hegemony over China by stealth. While the rest of the world wos busy with the first World War, Japan secretly presented to the Chinese govern ment the notorious "Twenty-one Demands." They fell short of suc cess because of Chinese and West ern opposition, but they were the first concrete revelation of Japan's vast ambitions and the heralds of events to come. These ambitions and detailed plans for their realization were laid down by Premier Huron Cfjichi Tunuka in another me- i Pearl Harbor Deo. i, 1941 "In the future, if we want to control China, we must firtt cntUk the United States. iJ! Baron- Tanaka, mi.. .. ... morlal to the throne submitted In 1027. When first published in 931, this memorial was' de nounced by the Jupancse as a forgery. Today, there is no rea son to doubt its authenticity. "TVDR the sake of self-protection as well as protection of others, Japan cannot remove the difficul ties in Eastern Asia unless she adopts a policy of 'blood and iron.' But in carrying out this policy we huve to lace the United States, which has been turned against us by China's policy of lighting poi son with poison. In the future, if we want to control China, we mr.:t first crush the United States Just as In the past we had to right in the Russo-Japanese War, But in order to conquer China, wo must flrsc conquer Manchuria and Mongolia. In order to conquer the world, we must first conquer Crjlna. If we succeed In conquer ing China the rest of the Asiatic countries and the South Sea coun tries will fear us und surrender to us. Then the world will realize that Eastern Asia is ours and will not dure to vlolute our rights. This is the plan left to us by Emperor Meiji, the success of which Is essential to our national existence. The way to gain oc tual rights in Manchuria and Mungolla is to use this region as base and under the pretense of trade and commerce penetrate the rest of China. Armed by the rights already secured we shall seize the resources all over the country. Having China's entire resources at our disposal we shall proceed to conquer India, the Archipelago, Asiu Minor, Central Asiu, und even Europe." From The Tunuka Mcmoriul, submitted to Emperor HIrohlto by Premier Baron Giichl Tunuku, July 25, 1927. " - Tomorrow the World "In the Sino-Jupanese and Russo-Japanese Wars we frus trated the treacherous schemes at England, checked the power of Russia, and struck a gigantic blow for the rebuilding of East Asia, Then in the Mnnchurian and China incidents, Japan's battles for a new Asia continued, and the movement expunded to all Asia. But this movement must progress to the concentrated union of all Asia with Japan as leader, and we must realize that for this Asia must return to her true self. But, bused on the spirit of Hakko Ichiu which is the foundation of our country, this must not be re stricted to Asia but spread over the whole world. Therefore the future history of Asia, and of the world, must bo the history of Japan and nothing more." Estab lishment of a Jupanese Era, by Hikaru Hukamura, Tokyo, 1939. ' "We should not look furtively to the right or to the left, but go South without hesitation. To go South is the solution of all our problems in respect to the United States, the Soviet Union, China, Europe and the domestic situation; we can kill Ave birds with one stone." Admiral Gum pel Sekine, In magazine Total Rlku, 1941. "The Greater East Asia Co- prosperity Sphere will not be iso lated from other parts of the world but, on the contrary, wiU be the center of the new World Order."
