After mentioning Japan’s self-imposed isolation from the rest of the world until 1850, when Admiral Perry forced her to open her ports to foreign shipping, Mr Wilson described the growth of Japan from the small country which amazed the world by winning the war - with Russia, until to-day when she is one of the Great Powers; and how, after repeated rebuffs from other countries, Japan's present-day policy was evolved. The vastness of Japan’s population is well-known, and the need for expansion understood, and it was clearly seen from Mr Wilson's talk that this quiet method of expansion, taking a small piece of land, populating it and moving on to more land, might, in the near future, affect our own country.
