. 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

.. ...
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." Finance Minister Oki
nobu Kaya, Jan. 27, 1942.
