Why, then, does Japan proceed? Because there is a virtual military dictatorship. That dictatorship be lieves in state capitalism. For example, the South Manchuria railway is called on constantly by the military dictatorship to “invest” in bankers are trying to call a halt, for industries in Manchuokuo.
