JAP EDUCATOR DE
CLARES DEMOCRACY IS
GROWING IN JAPAN
Associated Press. Service.
TOKIO, —Dr. fnazo Nitobe, who is
well known in the United States
through his lectures in that country,
warns Japanese bureaucractie states
men that there is a new movement in
that country, among the Japanese
people and that a high-handed policy
will precipitate an outburst i>f danger
oils thoughts. In an article in a Jap
anese publication which has attracted
considerable attention he says the
bureaucratic statesmen are treading
the path to ruin which was followed
by the Tokugawa Shogunate states
men before the revolution of 1863.
The Bureaucrats he asserts regard
socialism as a dangerous though, but
they do not realize, that there is a
beneficial monarchial socialism when
"the King is the, faithful servant of
the people." Intlfis sense, Dr. Nitobe
thinks, Japan is the foremost champ
ion of socialism in the world.
"Bureaucratic s atesmon", lie writes
denounce socialism as dangerous
thoughts introduced from Europe and
America, but most Europeans and Am
erica ns visiting this country are sur
prised at tlie prevalence of socialism
here to an extent such as can be seen
nowhere else.”
Dr. Nitobe declares that Japanse
bureaucrats are repeating in their at
titude towards democracy the same
mistake they have committed towards
the beneficial form of socialism. There
is a sane democracy, lie argues, just
as there is a dangerous democracy,
as the bureaucrats, he contends, do
not differentate^ between the two. He
criticizes them for shuddering at the
mere idea of democracy as if it im
perilled the government and the Im
perial family.
Everything appeared calm now, he
continued, but it was well to notice
that democratic sentiments are rapid
ly disseminating throughout the vari
ous strata of society.
Dr. Nitobe concluded: ••Bureaucrat
ic statesmen in Japan are too blind to,
and too ignorant of the new thoughts
which are sure to spring from among
the people who have awakened either
with the advanced times or through
their impulses of life. In conse
quence. they arc calling forth still
more dangerous thoughts. They think
of nothing but repression and extirpa
tion in dealing with the new thoughts
They may lie dreaming of* sitting on
their usual safety-valve forever but
they will be able to hold the political
safety-valve only so long as the pop
ulace whose innermost hearts are
seething with new sentiments, re
mains silent.”
