JAPAN AND THE WAR PARTY.
"A certain section of Japan believes tSe present menacing situation can be so greatly improved that threats of impending war will cease to impend. War entails tremendous sacriflce, as all the world knows. Even when victory is won it is achieved only at heavy cost to the victorious nation. None regret such sacriflce, for when a nation is engaged on the battlefield all other considerations sink into insignificance. Under such conditions national psychology is radieally altered, and it is the heart rather than the brain which functions and which dominates. War entails these tremendous sacrifices, but the question may be well posed whether it is not better, not wiser, not more beneficial to make certain sacrifices first in order to prevent war. There are sacrifices thpt no self-respecting nation can be asked or expected to make, but there are others of less importance which can be comparatively easily made, and whieh certainly are worth the cost if thereby the menaee of war is removed."
