JAPAN'S POLICY
FOLLOWING "MANIFEST
DESTINY"
"The subterfuges, fallacies and ] hypocrises that have become the earmarks of Japanese foreign policies during the last few years seem, abundantly, even painfully, obvious to the American mind. We, as a people, marvel that the Japanese people, whose qualities and abilities had been given a high rating in this country, can be so woefullv misled. This is because we credit the Japanese people with a degree of logic and a fund of information that they do net have and because we do not remotely begin to understand their deeply emotional loyalty to the Throne or the intensity of their pride and patriotism. "It must not be forgotten that the Japanese Emperor—-practically to the Japanese, a living diety because he is held to be a direct descendant of the Sun Goddess —has often and publicly blessed the Avar in China and has giA r en his unqualified assent to nil those policies and methods that Japan classes as folloAving her 'manifest destiny.' " —Mr Hallctt Abend, the New York Times correspondent i in the Far East. •<
