To Attack White Rule

In the Pacific.

Plan of Dominant Japanese.

STANDING for Pacific domination through a struggle against the white races, the powerful Satsuma elan enjoys ascendancy in Japan to-day.

Such is the argument of a writer in the Paris “Matin,” who declares that there is no need to underline the direct menace to all countries having possess ions in the Pacific.

“Recent declarations of Japanese politicians, above all that of Admiral Suetsugu, Minister for the Interior, reveal,” says the article “a new aspect of Japanese penetration of Asia.

“Powerful clans are trying to pro voke a general pan-Asiatic push against the predominance of the white races. The army obeys these clans, escaping direct control by the Government.

“Contrary to general European opinion, present events do not repre sent the carrying out of the plan set forth in the famous Memorial of Baron Tanaka to the Emperor.

“The initial step in this plan was an inexorable struggle against Commun ism, including the occupation of Soviet territories as far as Lake Baikal and the destruction of Soviet influence in China.

“Only after this did Tanaka envis age economic and political control of North and Central China, while South China remained outside the plan.

“'Tanaka did not desire to attack actual British interests, lest the Con tinental struggle should be transformed into a Pacific conflict in which Japan would have to meet Britain and America.

“Since the death of Baron Tanaka, representing the Choshu Clan, the rival Satsuma Clan has out-distanced its com petitor. Its doctrine of Pacific domin ation, resulting from a struggle against the Whites, carried the day. It is the victory of the ‘Sailors’ Party’.

“The rise to power of Prince Konoye, the Premier, who is closely associated personally with Navy chiefs, indicated the course of events.

“In giving Admiral Suetsugu the Home Ministry, Prince Konoye afforded new proof of the control which the Satsuma Clan exercises over Japanese policy.”

Mr. M. M. Brodie, of Suva, arrived in Sydney via Auckland, on a business trip early in March.
