AMERICAN AIMS. EFFECT ON JAPAN Tokio, Nov. 4. The spectacle of the Americans' democratic achievements in the transformation in eighteen months of a pacifist nation into an efficient war power is potently influencing Japan. Together with the downfall ot German militarism it will affect the national policy, leading to an extension ot political liberties, but the idea of a league of nations has received no support. Tho Kohiunin says that peace is now in sight, but this does not guarantee a permanent peace for the world. America may be in a position to dictate a pea.ee of righteousness, but Japan must be ever on guard and prepared for war or peace. The Asahi, marvelling at the achievements of Amerisa's armies, discusses the abolition of the idol of militarists—the conscription system, whilst another journal regards the expansion of file American navy as paradoxical,. and asks why America aims at becoming the greatest power in the world If she is an earnest seeker after ideals. —Times Service.
