TOKIO. July ( C orrospondence ot 1 lie Associat
ed Press )— Dr. Inaza Xitobe, a well known Japanese ed
4 r and author, who went to the United States some
oars ago as a lecturer, has warned his fellow countrymen
against making a separate peace with Germany and told
them that in the present world crisis they should be very
careful as to the nature of criticism they may indulge in
About war. In an article writen for a commercial maga
zine, he points out that Japan is now the cynosure ot the
wers and expresses regret that, both bet ore and during
the war, some bitter criticism has been made by some pub
licists regarding the Anglo-Japanese alliance.
Setting aside the question as to how much advantage:
the alliance has brought Japan, Dr. Xitobe thinks the pre>
ent certainly not the right occasion tor discussing its poss
ible demerits. In his opinion, it was scarcely an attitude
worthy of a nation which prides itselt ot being most gent ,
lemanly to bring this matter up for discussion at a time
when Great Britain is confronted with a serious crisis. Dr. j
Nitobe continues. ,•
“it is alleged that the opinion prevails among a section
of Japanese business men in favor of Japan’s conclusion
of a separate peace with Germany, follow ing Russia s ex
ample- It seems that the advocates of this extraordinary
course of action bold that Japan can derive iar greater,
commercial profits than at present by converting herself
into a neutral country and by trading with both parties of,
the belligerents.
“Viewed purely from an arithmetical standpoint,
their theory may contain some truth, but the world situat
ion has taken such a turn that all neutral countries are
now obliged to take sides with either the one or the other
group of belligerents. In days like these, can it be possible
that a country upholds its nation dignity long by assum
ing an equivocal attitude?
“It is certainly not the way to add to the national
strength and dignity for Japan to run with the hare and
hunt with hounds. For my part I believe in Nemesis in
history. What Japan sows she will be called upon to reap.
“There is an almost incredible and most shameful ru
mor that the view is even advanced in some quarters in
favor of making common cause with the Central Powers,
utlizing the present opportunity of the eastward advance
of German influence. Some statemen, it is reported, think
that Japan will soon find herself sandwiched between two
mighty world influences- America on one side and Ger
many, whose influence is already felt in Siberia, on the
other. When placed in such a position it will become nec
essary imperatively for Japan to contract a special friend
ship with one or the other of these powers in order to
maintain her position on a solid basis. Thus, they come to
the conclusion that if America turns a cold shoulder to Jap
-an there is no alternative left but for Japan to join hands
with Gennany.” . , * ij&Uff
In conclusion Dr. Nitobe asserts:
“If, by any chance, Japan should conclude a seperate
peace with Germany and incur the deep resentment of Bri.
tain and America, it is easy to see the prevalence of Prus
sianism in Japan would be deplored by all Japanese ex
cept a section of military men and professors, and the suf
fering it would inflict upon the Japanese as a whole, woul
territorial ambitions of Germany cannot be satisfied by
be very far preaching. It must be remembered that the
territorial ambitions of Germany canot be satisfied by
her occupation of Russia and Siberia, for they are utterly
insatiable. ”
