- 8 - when this mass once awakened to full social and political consciousness? Did the Japanese come to awaken this consciousness and thereby lift the whole Far East from the dawn of historylessness into the full light of history? Certainly their war from the coasts is a force in this direction, a step on the way. But the goal and end of this path remain unpredictable, because the necessary ideas exceed our political imagination enormously. One can only imagine that in this China lies one of the great reserves of power of history. Millions who can suffer and unconsciously spare themselves for the orders that the future may put on them." Soldiers of Tenno. If the previous section showed the severity of the task in China, a short picture may also be recorded of those who will solve it: "The Japanese army, the young officer above all, has woolned the Chi-Nesian war after it had erupted. The politicians may have tried to destroy him, but the soldiers are watching that the meaning of the war has not been falsified by tactics. The social pressure of the millions of sons of poor rice farmers is a sharp motor for the Japanese state leadership if it wants to avoid that the restrained suffering of the peasant youth repeatedly explodes against the regime of the old. Even years ago the Japanese Kabi- nice determined the weight of the seventy-year-olds. A sixty-year-old could already be a striking phenomenon in the circle of ministers. This predominance of the old man has been eliminated. Over the last decades, youth with dagger and revolver have intervened in the course of political decisions. Japanese politics is younger under the drive of soldiers and peasants. The army has no reason to believe that the Chinese conflict was liquidated without the last safeguards. Because the youth wants space and tasks, Japan is beautiful, but narrow. 60 million people live on narrow coastal edges of mountainous islands. Often it is impossible to see where the one city ends and the next begins. The farmers create the rice, the fishermen harvest the fish. This is the simple life of the masses. But the people are growing. It blows up the coasts which are its borders. Thus the young peasants as settlers went to Korea, to Manchuria. Duty called them north, but the heart drew them south. And when the young peasant officers speak of the slogan of the reorganization of East Asia, then they know what they mean by it. Freedom to breathe, space to create and a content for the future of many generations. It is worthwhile for this to be wrong. For this the mothers carry the urns home with the miserable rest of their love." 3. Numbers about the Wehrmacht of the USA. Effective in possible conflicts can be USA. to the main point only by his fleet. Therefore, the greatest attention must be devoted to their strength. A comparison with the strength of the Japanese fleet (see Inform.No.8) is interesting, especially with regard to the fact that the USA has to look at two oceans. - 9 -
