ABSTRACT

I. CAN EMIGRATION RELIEVE THE PRESSURE? IT has been reported that the Population and Food Supply Commission has decided that Emigration (apart altogether from the practicability or impracticability of finding a place to send the emigrants to) offers no solution to Japan’s problem. The decision is closely in keeping with many previous statements made by Japanese officials. Nor are the officials alone in professing the belief: Japanese students have published similar opinions.1
