A JAPANESE VIEW
^X£ there is to he a confllet between Japan and the TJnited States, it must be over a China problem. So it amounts to this : that if Japan and China can act amicably in the future and solve all pending questions between them, there will be no fear of war between Japan and America. And if tbere is no fear of a Japano-American war, then there is no necessity for America to build such a powerful navy in. order to curb Japan's advance," writes Lt.-Commander Tota Ishimaru in his hook, " The Next World War." u So the argument can be olosed," the writer goes on, "by saying that Sino-Japaneae oo-operation can eliminate the causes of a Paciflc war, an unuecessary armament* race, and even the necessity of AngloAmerican co-operation, And still more signiflcant, it would serve as a preventive of a second world war. Both China and Jdpan should be ready to appreciate this fact. If, on the other hand, these fellowOrientals insist on quarrelling with each other, then the consequences will he a powerful eombination of Great Britain and the TJnited States to be faced, and the result will be the ruin of both these leading nations of the Orient."
