TOKIO, 4th November. Lite spectacle of America's democratic • achievement and .: transformation in Eighteen months from a pacifist nation to an efficient w*r Power is hiving a potent influence on Japan, and together with the downfall of German militarism will affect the national policy, leading to an extension of political liberties; but the , idea of a League of Nations has received no support. The Kokumin says: " Peace is now in sight; but it does not guarantee A permanent peace of the world. America may be in a position to dictate a peace of righteousness, but Japan must ever be on guard and prepared for war or peace.", The Asahi, marvelling at the achievements of America's armies, discusses the abolition of the idol of the militarists, the conscription system. Another journal regards the expansion of the American nsvy as paradoxical, and asks why America aims at becoming'the greatest naval Power jn the world if sh* is an earnest seeker after ideals.
