JAPANESE IMPERIALISM
The Royal Institute of International Affairs in London has published a pamphlet called “Fact and Fiction in Japanese Imperialism.” The writer believes that the Imperial Throne, though at present used by the militarists as an instrument of their policy, is the one “ focus of national unity ” and that military defeat will not necessarily lower its authority. He argues that it would be extremely dangerous to repress this loyalty, which might as easily be made to work for good as for evil. , , The Emperor obviously cannot be considered in the same way as Hitler, says the Manchester guardian, commenting on the pamphlet. This is a question which the Japanese might be left to decide for themselves.
