The obstreperous military men set their own policy on the Asiatic continent and officials at home had to make the best of it. The new government will talk much of pursuing the same course, but that will be for “face-saving” purposes. The desertion of Ger- many is bound to have an influence on Japan’s am- bition to dominate the Far East. Public opinion as well as a changed course by the government will bring that about. This is already evident in the orders of the Japanese gendarmes to “cease provoking the feel- ings of whites” in China. Japanese sentiment finds expression in the abuse of German nationals instead ‘ol the English. Henceforth, Japan cannot be so sure of herself in China.
