Let me remind you. gentlemen. that for 2.500 years one dynasty has sat upon the throne in Japan in unbroken succession. so what is 200 years? It may be 50. it may be 75. or 100. or 200 years. but Japan believes the time is coming when she will have the shores of the Ptcific peopled with her nationals. and you never saw a Japanese in this country-- realize there are exceptions to all ruleswho was not just as much ruled from Tokyo as if he lived in Tokyo. and if le does not obey the mandate and dictates of his home Government. his people will be punished blecaise lie does not. Japan thought she could find In China an overflow for her coolie labor. In this she found she was wrong. because the Chinese coolie works cheaper and more efficiently than tile Japanese. She thought with the rape of Korea she had an opportunity for lier overflow of population. but for the same reason site found she had not. She thought in Formosa she had found relief. but for the same reason she had not.
