JAPAN AND PEACE.
GREAT POWERS CRITICISED. THE FAILURE AT GENEVA. TOKIO, Nov. 21. Recent articles in the Japanese press referred to the causes which led to the war, which are alleged to be still existing. The Asa hi states that America now lords it over the world, relying upon her immense resources. The "America First" principle hinders the progress of peace, as demonstrated at the Naval Arms Limitation Conference at Geneva. The Nichi Nichi argues that the egotism of America and England prevented the Geneva agreement, as each, although heavily armed, desires still greater armaments. "Candour compels a blunt statement that a menace to world peace to-day consists in the fact that Western Powers are holding the suzerainty of immense lands beyond their national necessities and are refusing to satisfy the pressing needs of other nations with surplus populations. "They hold immense territories without any population, while coolly advising congested nations to practise bnih control," the paper adds.
