both the incidents leading to its adop-
tion and its main provisions.
The solid basis for Japanese control,
on the Chinese mainland was laid
back in 1904, when at the conclusion
of the surprising Russo-Japanese
War, Japan became established in
South Manchuria, gained complete
Control over Korea and stepped'boild-
ly forth as a world power--a formid-
tble force to be reckoned with froni
hat Ltime on by all nations interested
in territory or trade in the Far East.
Get German Colonies
In the ten-year interim between
the end of the Russo-Japanese War
f md the World War, events in the
Far East remained practic'ally un-
changed. With the coming of the
World War, however, Japan lanuched
on a more determined program of
expansion. Entering the War on the
side of the Allies, Japan quickly cap-
tured the German leasehold of Tsing-
tao, and took possession of the Ger-
man rights in Shahtung Province.
While the European nations were
busy fighting on the Eastern Front,
Japan considered the tiie opportune
to press bold claims in China, and, in
1915 she presented to that nation her
famous Twenty-one demands, which
together with some others calling for
Japanese advisors to the Chinese gov-
ernment, would have converted China
into a Ja~panese protectorate.
In accordance with its previously-
announced policy of keeping an Oren
Door in China for the trade of, all
natioh1s,,the United States protested
vigorously to the Japanese demands
upon China, declaring that it would
not recognize treaties conclucded on,
the bas;is of those demands.
Nothing definite concern':igs. the
issues created by Japan's World War
policy was reached until the Wash-
ington Conference in 1921. Accord-
ing to Lerepoip of that conference
writterInrbyT. 'A. Bissolnifor the
Foreign Policy Association, a series
of compromises were worked out.
Japan obtained two important con-
cessions. First, the United States gave

up naval supremacy by agreeing to a
ratio in capital ships of five for itself
and Great Britain and three foi
Japan. Second, further fortifications
of the island possessions of the Paci-
fic powers was prohibited. Under these
conditions neither the United States
nor Great Britain could attack Japan I
with any prospect of successq
In retu:i for this assurance of
security Japan agreti to restore to
China the rights it had acquired in
Shantng Province, although it re-
tahied its extended rights in Man-
churia. Japan also promised to with-
draw its troops from Siberia, a
pledge which it fulfilled in 1922.
Japan Signs Pact
Finally, Japan signed the Nine-
Power Treaty. In this pact Japan
pledged itself, along with the other
powers, to respect China's sovereign-
ty, independence, and territorial and
administrative integrity, to provide
China the fullest and most unembar-
rassed opportunity to develop and
maintain an effective and stable Aov-
erinment, and to use its influence to
maintain the principle of the "open
door," giving all nations equal trade
opportunities throughout Chinese ter-
ritory.
In less than ten years after the
signing of the pact Japan embarked
on a new program of expansion in
China that has not stopped yet.
Goaded by inexorable economic and
political conditions, she marched into
Manchuria in 1931, set up the new
state of Manchukuo in 1932, and is
today still persisting in her intention
of establishing virtual or actual con-
trol over the resources, the trade and
the territory of China.
Japan's drive against China has
of course, precipitated conflict with
the interests and policies of three
powers-the United States, England
and Russia. In contrast with the tra-
ditional policy of aloofness from the
affairs of the European countries,
American policy has always been one
of active interest and participation
in the affairs of the Far East.
When Japan advanced into Man-
churia, the United States not only
cooperated with action taken by the
League of Nations but also made
direct protests to Tokyo. On Jan. 7,
1932, Secretary of State Stimson
issued the famous "non-recognition"
statement saying that we would not
recognize any "situation, treaty or
agreement" reached between China
and Japan that violated the provi-
sions of the Nine-Power Treaty or the
Kellogg Pact outlawing war. In 1934
when Japan announced her inten-
tion of eliminating the influence of
Western powers from the Far East
Secretary Hull at once took issue with
this position, declaring that the
United States intended to maintain
all its treaty rights in the Far East.
The recent note sent to the Japanese
government by the State Department
was a continuation of the policy of
protesting violations on the part of
treaty-signers.
Opinion Undetermined
But the inescapable fact is that
American protests and statements of
policy .have not caused Japan to
swerve from her expansionist course
for one moment. As a result the atti-
tude of the public toward American
participation in Far Eastern affairs
is vague and indeterminate, but there
are certain trends that can be ascer-
tainied.
Many Americans believe that the
United States should withdraw from
the Orient and let Japan go ahead.
They say that Japanese aggression is
not important enough to the majority
of the American people to justify
going to war. They do not favor fight-
ing to defend the Open Door policy,
to protect American trade and in-
vestments in the Far East.
Other Americans insist that a policy
of withdrawal will not prevent the
outbreak of a war in which we are
liable to become involved. They feel
3 that Japan's advance toward complete
domination of the Far East has struck
a fatal blow at the treaty structure
in the Pacific, and will eventually
endanger the security of the United
States. Therefore they favor some
form of concerted action which, they
hope, will check Japan before war
results.
