Tolischus IX TF diplomacy is the art of deceit, as the Machiavellians teacn, then the Japanese have indeed proved themselves to be master diplomats. Theirs was the kind of diplomacy which Hitler also used with such startling success before and even after the out break of the war. Its principles arc simple. They can be sum marized as follows: 1. Stale your alms frankly and boldly, but in terms of a world embracing Ideology which other nations will dismiss as fantastic but which will Inspire your people to follow you through thick and thin, irrespective of the deviations necessitated by practical day-today politics. 2. Until all preparations have been made and the right oppor tunity for striking has arrived, lie low, speak softly, cultivate foreign diplomats and visitors, make fair promises all around, sign any treaties that will dispel suspicions, proclaim yourself the champion of peace, progress and prosperity. 3. Divide your possible oppo nents by playing them off against one another. 4. Strike hard and fast when the moment seems ripe, and let your aims Justify your means. It is such a political system Which distinguishes the Hitlers and the Japanese war lords from ordinary gangsters. And it is this system which makes the ruling ideology of a nation even more important than its official profes sions and even acts. The ruling Ideology of Germany tinder Hitler was National Social ism, which seized upon the two most vital forces of the age nationalism and socialism, and by converting the first into a mon strous racialism, und the second into u man-eating state-ism, pro duced an explosive energy that found ILs unifying concept in the German "master race." The rul ing ideology of Japan "for ages eternal1 has been Shinto, which unifies racialism and state-ism into the equally explosive concept of the divine family state of a superior race of gods ruled- by a supreme God-Kmperor who has a divine command to be the Em peror of the world. Foreign Office a Gclslm Girl Yet, though the real nature of National Socialism was fairly well understood long before the war, Hitler had little difficulty in fool ing the statesmen of the world , by maintaining a front of "gentlc- men" In his Foreign Office and his diplomatic service who gave rr?f A 1 J AMD T'D HAME QUALMS ABOUT CHLOROFORMING MX1 OWIO PAR6KJT.

Jap "Peace Mission" With Secretary Hull December, '41 "The diuine mission of Japan puts her above treaty breaking,., For Japan, any means jxutifiet the eniL" an air of verisimilitude to his own fair promises. The Japanese had an even easier task of it: for Shinto Is still primarily a subject of study by world-removed ex perts in comparative religion rather than the concern of states men. Japanese "gentlemen" can be more ingratiating than the Germans. But the Japanese For eign Olfice was never more than a geisha girl, whose function was to give a song and dance to keep other nations occupied, amused and divided, while the military got ready for the big strike. The Japanese "gentlemen" played their parts well, until the bombs began to fall on Pearl Harbor. t"TIIE divine mission of Japan puts her above treaty break ing because what would be wrong In the rest of the world is right in Japan. For Japan, any means justifies the end." Maj.-Gen. Tada, quoted in "War and Diplo macy in Eastern Asia," by Claude buss, New York, 1D41. Pardonable Deceit "Deceit may be pardoned in proportion to the benefits it con fers." Yukis Azaki, an ex-Min ister of State. "What Japan lias now to do is to keep perfectly quiet, to lull the suspicions that have risen against her, and to wait, mean while strengthening the founda tions of her national power, watching, waiting for the oppor tunity which must one day surely come in the Orient." Todasu ayashi, author of the Anglo- Japanese Alliance, 1895. "Ine Imperial Government of Japan definitely guarantees the independence and territorial in tegrity of the Korean Empire." Japan in agreement with Korea in 11)04. (In 1910, Korea was an nexed to the Japanese Empire against the will of the Korean people.) "The Contracting Powers, other than China, agree to respect the sovereignty, the independence and the territorial and administrative integrity of China." The Nine Power Treaty, signed by Japan and the United States, 1922. (In 1931, Japan conquered Manchuria and set up a puppet regime; in 1937 Japan attacked China and set up a puppet regime In Nan king.) "No military or naval bases shall be established or fortifica tions erected in the territory." Japan's pledge on receiving the mandate for the former German Pacific Islands, 1920. (The Islands were immediately turned into strongly fortified military and na val bases, as revealed by the war.) "The Oriental ideal of love, benevolence and mutual help con demns war for selfish ends. Ja pan's armament always a 'di vine sword that slays not' is dedicated to the peace of East Asia and to the welfare of the world; it is employed only against the forces Inimical to international justice and to the common inter ests of East Asia. Japan's ad vance, inspired by humanity. should not be confused with ag gression for gain at the expense of other nations." Goal of Jap anese Expansion, by Tatsuo Kai- wai.
