ABSTRACT

The foreign policy aims to establish: the supremacy of Japan in eastern Asia; the ejection of the European powers and the United States from footholds on the mainland and islands of Asia in close enough proximity to her to threaten her security or the interruption of her maritime communications. It also aims to establish: the allotment to Japan of an equitable share of spheres of influence and colonizing areas by agreement, or, failing this, by conquest; and the insistence upon the granting of equality, in the fullest sense of that term, to Asiatics in their own continent and in Africa with Europeans, or the expulsion of Europeans from Asia and Africa if this equality be not granted. The anti-militarist movement in Japan, of which has been written since Germany's downfall, is not fairly presented to European and American readers. The success of the anti-militarist movement in Japan depends upon developments outside Japan.
