Is she entitled to} that position of leadership? Are her | national aspirations and moral stan dards such as to merit the confi dence of the United States and other nations in her working out of the intricate problems of the Orient? I have endeavored to give an un Dinsed. discussion of some phases of Japan's internal and external prob-| lems. They are problems of the Fur East. I am only one of many who feel that in the Japanese Empire and in that vast region of China where | 400,000,000 people are working out their national existence, will come some of the world’s most tnteresting developments in the next two |decades. The Vanderlip party were given a thoroly unique opportunity | to hear the voice of the intellectual leaders of Japan, not of one man, | of one publicist, or of one statesman, but of practically all of the em pire’s spokesmen.

Many of us in America | Thave felt, and do feel, that Japan's | national course is planned to follow | that of one of her early teachers— | Germany. The harshness of her military adminiatration in Korea, and the phenomenal development of | her army and navy until she is un | disputedly one of the great powers, have added to this conviction that the | forces of liberalism in the Island empire are hopes only of the future. | Any discussion of the military |party in Japan must, {t seems to |me, be considered in the light of the| | political conditions thruout the whole ‘ar East.
