Pearl Harbor Fated Nearly 15 Years Ago By Tanaka Memorial

Revelation of Its Terms Puts Puzzle Together In Today's Pattern

By GIDEON A. LYON. In the spring of 1929 the Car-

negie Endowment for International Peace organized and-financed a visit of “representive American journal- ists" to Japan. Manchuria and China, to study the economic, politi- cal and social conditions in those countries. The Star was included in the invitation and it was my good fortune and privilege to be desig- nated its representative.

Other newspapers represented were the Atlanta Constitution, the Chicago Daily News, the Houston Pas*-Dispatch, the Los Angeles Times, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, the Scripps-Howard newspapers and the Springfield Republican. Ac- companying the party was George A. Finch, then assistant secretary and now secretary of the Carnegie Endowment.

The invitation stated that the

guests of the endowment were under no obligations whatever, expressed or implied, it being the sole object of the endowment that they should use their time in the Orient to the best advantage, to the end that when thereafter they discussed Asi- atic questions they W'ould be able “to make use of the results of their own independent observations and reflections.”

Observations Published. While there was no suggestion

that the members of the party would avail themselves of the opportunity to write their respective newspapers about their experiences, it was in- dicated that the fullest freedom w'ould be given to that end. In con- sequence of this opportunity. I wrote and sent to The Star 63 letters from Japan, Korea, South Manchuria and China, which were printed in its columns between June 9 and August 26, 1929. These 63 letters to The Star were all written “on the road." They embraced a wide variety of topics, ranging from the physical aspects of the lands traversed to racial, social and political conditions.

There was no time before de- parture and while traveling through the countries visited for a thorough study of the historical background, without which a full understanding of the then prevalent political, social and international conditions was

well nigh impossible Political propa- ganda was not lacking, however. Our guides and travel escorts, both Japanese and Chinese, grasped every opportunity to engage In "educa- tional" dissertation, to establish the righteousness or the iniquity of Ja- pan's program and policy in respect to the extension of its dominion over Korea and Manchuria.

So complicated is the history of Japan's aggression in Eastern Asia that it is doubtful whether, in the brief period of preparation for this Far Eastern tour an adequate knowledge of the situation could have been gained.

There was, however, plenty of direct but conflicting instruction on the part of the Japanese. Korean. Manchurian and Chinese guides and couriers who accompanied us in relays. One consequence of this po- litical babel was that I, at least, for- bore in the matter of judgment re-

spcting the righteousness of the “status quo" in the areas of dis-

pute. I confined myself to the nar-

ration of things seen and heard from a reportorial viewpoint, with only occasional and passing obser- vations respecting the international complexes which were evident, at times distressingly so.

No Evidence of Tanaka Memorial. Had there been in evidence and

so informative and revealing a docu- ment as the so-called "Tanaka Me- morial.” a frank and explicit pro- gram of Japanese conquest and almost literally world-wide domin- ion, the matter written by the mem-

bers of our party, certainly by my- self. would have been considerably different. But none of us bad ever

heard of the Tanaka Memorial. And it may be further questioned whether Japan would have invited the American Journalists to visit that country, through the good of- fices of the Carnegie Endowment— which was certainly innocent of knowledge of that remarkable state paper—if it had been revealed be- fore 1929, though it had been pre- sented to the throne by Baron Ta- naka in 1927.

Questions were constantly aris- ing in the course of our journey to which answers could not be had. For instance, in a letter to The Star from Changchun, Manchuria—in the heart of the area of disputation—I mentioned a visit to the argriculural experiment station at Kunchuling conducted by the South Manchuria Railway, which was owned and op- erated by the government of Japan, writing of it as an interesting ex- hibition of Japanese enterprise and foresight, making more business for the railway, and adding:

“At least that Is one purpose. Whether there is another, with a

political bearing, is one of those things that ran not be definitely learned in this land of many com-

plexes.” And in the same letter T noted

an effort to improve the Manchurian soybean—an item of large impor- tance in the Japanese economy— and asked why the Japan govern- ment-controlled railway should thus seek to create a rival in Manchuria to a home product, adding:

“The answer may lie in that strange spirit of the new Japan, which is causing her to regard the mainland of Asia as her own by right of race and contiguity and

: necessity.” Control Policy Suspected.

Again. June 23. I wrote from Dairen, witn reference to the re-

i cent conflict between Russia and Japan:

“Mukden. Pei Ho. Liao Yang. Port Arthur! Scenes of combat, areas of Japanese sacrifice, hostages of his- tory! Great numbers of Japanese soldiers died on those fields. They will not be forgotten. And that is why Japan is today in Manchuria. * * • To stand, as we stood today, on the broken ramparts of North Fort at Port Arthur, and to look over a field upon which Japanese troops died by the thousands, is to get a closer conception of the Japa- nese purpose to control ir it can not officially and actually govern this land.

“There may be changes in do- mestic nolicy at Tokio. but it is improbable that there will ever be any change in that policy, whatever may be the consequences of its pur- suit in the future.”

The final letter of the series, written July 31 at Tokio. briefly summarized the experiences of the party in the course of the journey through Japan. Korea. Manchuria and China, including the following:

“We have traversed Southern Manchuria and witnessed the de- velopment of a land that is certain to figure largely in the world’s eco- nomic equation in the future and may at some early date be the scene of combat between nations.”

This forecast was fulfilled within a few months.

Marshal's Death a Puzzle.

Just a short time before our visit, Chang Tso-lin. marshal of Man- churia, was killed by an explosion as he was entering Mukden, in virtual flight from Southern China. The Chinese charged that the Japa- nese had plotted his death. The Japanese intimated that "young Gen.” Chang Hsieu-liang, mar- shal of Manchuria, son of the late marshal, was guilty of the plot against nis father. In a letter from Mukden I wrote, regarding this matter:

“There is in evidence at Tokio a

disposition on the part of some of the politicians for the sake of em-

barrassing the ministry to impute at least ‘guilty knowledge’ of the plot against Chang to the Tokio gov- ernment. Every few weeks ques- tions are put in the Diet regarding a ‘certain grave incident in Man- churia, under which camouflage everybody recognizes the murder of Chang. And the ministry refuses to discuss the questions, a position which has the effect of arousing suspicion rather than allaying it.”

beyond the windows of my hotel room:

"This Is historic water. It leaves the shores of an ancient land, newly come into important prominence within three decades, it is Man- churia, originally independent of China, Then, by absorption of China by the Manehus. become part of the ancient kingdom. Then Japan came and won it In war and lost it again in diplomacy. Next came Rus- sia and took it by chicane and held it for a time and built up a few miles from here a stronghold that was supposed to be Impregnable.

“Then again came Japan and won it from Russia, won it by a supreme feat of arms and a valorous spirit that abounded the world. Then again diplomacy intervened and to- day Japan has a ‘lease’ on this im- portant tip of the peninsula, a lease with a definite term, toward the end of which nobody at present looks."

Signs Evident. Certainly no member of our

party foresaw the future develop- ments in that region, but quite as

certainly none failed to see the signs rf Japan’s purpose to remain in Manchuria and even to extend its "zone of influence” if not sover-

eignty throughout the area known as the "Three Eastern Provinces” of Manchuria, whether against Chinese or Russian resistance.

Of a broader scope of adventure i thpre was no imitation or suspicion. In the light of the Tanaka Memorial, it is somewhat humiliating to re-

flect on the veritable mockery of a tour by American Journalists through Japan, Korea, Manchuria and China, as guests of the Japan- ese government and under the

| auspices of an American endowment dedicated to the cause of keeping peace between the nations of the world.

But in mitigation of that feeling Is the fact that the Tanaka Memor- ial—virtually a Japanese charter of militant world dominion—was not revealed to the world until September 1931, more than two years after our return from the Far East, when it was printed by the China Critic, an English-language newspaper published in Shanghai.

The Japanese government de- nounced it as a fabrication. The protestations of the Japanese were

vigorous, but those who had inti- mate knowledge of the record of Japan’s program and practices on

the mainland of Asia were disposed to accept the Memorial as at the least, if not literally genuine, a

correct statement of the Japanese general program and policy.

Answered Many Questions. The Tanaka Memorial served as

a complete and logical answer to many questions that remained in

my mind after the sojourn in the Orient. I did not however, secure

a complete copy of the translated document until lone later—indeed not until a short time aco, soon

■ after the Honolulu "incident.” to use the English equivalent for the now-familiar Japanese word for a

military attack. The pattern of the program out-

lined in the Tanaka Memorial fits in all but immaterial details the outline of a project of Asiatic and eventual world domination set forth by spvents subsequent to July 25. 1927, the date of its deliverance. Had the disclosure and publication of the Memorial occurred in 1941 instead of in 1931 it might have been suspected of being a Action, or at least a highly imaginative projection of actualities and spec- ulative possibilities based on facts.

But the Memorial came to light long enough ago to account for a

series of sinister performances by Japan leading up to the present, seizure of a golden opportunity by that country to strike a blow that may conceivably advance the very

purposes and plans which are set forth in it.

The fifth paragraph of the Me- morial reads as follows:

"The Three Eastern Provinces" (of Manchuria! "are politically the imperfect spot in the Far East. For the sake of self-protection, as well as for the protection of others. Japan can not remove the difficul- ties in Eastern China unless she adopts a policy of ‘blood and iron!' But in carrying out this policy we have to face the United States, which has been turned against us by- China’s policy of fighting poison with poison. In the future, if we want to control China, we must first crush the United States, just as in the past we had to fight in the Russo-Japanese war. But in order to conquer China we must first con-

quer Manchuria and Mongolia. In order to. conquer the world we must conquer China. If we succeed in conquering China the rest of the Asiatic countries and the South Sea countries will fear us and surrender to us. Then the world will realize that Eastern Asia is ours and will not dare to violate our rights. That is the plan left to us by Emperor Meiji, the success of which is es- sential to our national existence.”

Pearl Harbor Pates from 1927. Such is the essence of the Tanaka

Memorial. Such is the established program of Japan: Korea, Man- churia, Mongolia, China, America— the World! The shells dropped on Honolulu December 7. were loaded in July, 1927, when Baron Tanaka, Premier of Japan, bowed before Hirohito. Emperor of Japan, the Son of Heaven, and noting that his life had been spared by divine will when a Chinese attempted to kill him at Shanghai on his return from Europe and America, accepted the responsibility for a conquest of the world by Japan.

The events of the last 15 years have quite definitely proved the authenticity of the Tanaka Memo- rial and established the fact of its adoption by the Emperor of Japan and the Japanese government as a

fixed policy. If we members of the Journalistic

expedition sent by the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace to Japan, Korea, Manchuria and China in 1929 had known of the Tanaka Memorial our understand- ing of the situation in those coun-

tries and of the purposes of Japan would have been far more complete than it was. But then it is quite possible—Indeed probable—that if the Memorial had been then in evi- dence, the expedition would not have been undertaken or permitted.

"However.” she went on, "I man-

aged to put it in good shape. Being French. I was able to make the lace from other costumes look alm^t as

good as new. I don’t know whether I should say anything about this, but this happened back in Taft's administration, so I guess I can tell how I had a hand in it.”
