PRAISE FOR JAPAN
CONQUEST OF MANCHURIA TRIBUTE BY MISSIONARY [from our own correspondent] HAMILTON. Tuesday A tribute to Japan was paid by Mr. R. W. Sturt, a missionary who has spent 28 years in China and Mongolia, in the course of an address to the Hamilton Rotary Club. Mr. Sturt pointed out that while lie did not approve of all that Japan had done, it was a fact that she had carried out her conquest of Manchuria outside the Great Wall of China, and she had simply restored to the Manchus their own country.
During the period of invasion Japan had shown the greatest consideration to foreigners and the inhabitants, lboy were concentrated at one point, out of the range of gun fire, and large quantities of food for their use wore dropped from aeroplanes. Since the conquest, Japan had replaced the worthless paper money with genuine currency, and had used the revenue from taxation for the benefit of the country. Japan had thrown up a bulwark in the East, in tho form of a strong regime of sound government, against the menace of Communism iD China.
