Page Four ' AFPEAXi TO COLOR viii from war by making the Jap anese Emperor the Emperor of the world, and saving humanity from the evils of western civilization by spreading Japanese Kultur, the Japanese wurrior gods and Shinto scholars have discovered another divine mission Imposed on them by Heaven. It is the salvation of the colored races from the oppres sion of the white man. This sal valion is to be achieved by noth ing less than the extermination of the whole white race from the face of the earth. On that basis, Japan has ap pointed herself the champion of the colored races and has con ducted a powerful and persistent propaganda to rally them to her standard, She holds before their eyes the sins of western coloniza tion: she tells them that the col ored races constitute two-thirds of the world's population but con trol only one-tenth of the earth's surface; and she impresses on them that Japan is the only power strong enough to beat the white powers, as shown by me misso Japanese war. In return for their Bupport, she holds out to them the prospect of being put under the Imperial Japanese benevo lence. Fierce Racial Pride It Is the conceit of many white nien that all the other races really envy them and would like to be accepted In their company, which Js the cause of a certain con descension In them sometimes tinged with pangs of conscience that they should feel that way. But no racial consciousness of the whites can possibly compare with the fierce racial pride of tho Jap anese, to whom the white man has always been tho "red-haired barbarian." Nor Is there anything In the white man's mnke-up to match the burning hatred of many Jupaneso for the whole white race. Bccuuse of long seclusion and Inbred clanishness, the Jap anese hove no love for any strangers, Including those of their own skin pigment. But It Is for the white mun that they reserve their most savage hymns of hate, and they sing with Joy when white men slaughter one another in re current wars. ' There is no doubt that Japan's swift rise to world power has ,done much to awaken Asia and set it on the march toward self determination and independence. If Japanese propaganda were to have substantial success it would ttore up dynamite In the East which could blast the world asun der. But her appeal to color prejudice has been Japan's great est failure.
