I want to say a bit concerning policy before the principle involved is discussed. It is a notorious fact that for many years the Japanese have been carrying on a propaganda campaign seeking to aline the entire oriental world behind Japanese leadership. seeking to set the oriental world against the occidental world. They have called it a campaign of A~ia for Asiatics. This propaganda has generally been based upon two propositions insofar as the Chinese are concerned. And mind you just here. there is no propaganda quite so effective as true propaganda. The first leg of Japanese propaganda was that of extraterritoriality. The second leg has been the Chinese exclusion laws. Extraterritoriality. as most of you know. is an arrangement under which foreigners are not amenable to local law. Under extraterritoriality.
