Mr. Yamamoto said that he had uo
purpose to discuss communism nor
argue with any one concerning Com
munist ideas or ideals. Japan recog
nized the Soviet government in 1924.
She is not concerned with what Soviet
leaders intend to do within their own
domain, but is concerned with the ac
tivities of the Communist Interna

JH0ES FOR THE ENTIRE FAMILY
Chiang government of China and the
Communist International, he said that
the government of General Chiang
was engaged in a series of campaigns
against the Communist International
and the Communist party from 1927
down to December, 1936. In December,
1936, General Chiang Kai-Shek was
kidnapped by his own men and forced
not only to disown his anti-Communist
campaign, but to unite with the
Communists in driving Japan from
the Asiatic mainland.
In order to give the backcround for
the present situation in the Far East, J
Mr. Yamamoto reviewed brifly, in
beginning his talk, the history of the
relations between the three countries.
inina, uus.sia nnd Japan during the
past 85 years. He summarized brief
ly the series of conflicts between the
countries. He said that after the
Russo-Japanese war Japan secured
the right to exercise protection over
certain sections of Manchuria and
that is why she is in Manchuria '
toJay. The fall of the Manchu dynas
ty in China a quarter of a century ago I
plunged China into civil war which j
lasted for more than 20 years. After!
the Washington conference of 1021
22 China, despite international dis
cord, adopted a vigorous anti-foreiirn '
policy, the aim of which was two
fold; to arouse the natinal conscious
ness among the Chines,, people and to
abolish foreign privileges in Chinese
territory. The execution of these
policies created prejudice against for
eigners and their Interests and
brought on a series of troubles be
tween China and foreign powers dur
ing the last ten years. In 1931 China
executed a revolutionary foreign poli
cy m Manchuria against the Japanese
and Japan was compelled to act in
self defense. That campaign lasted
from September 18, 1931 to May 31,
1.M3 and was known as the Manchu
nan incident.
Referring to the present conflict,
Mr. lamamoto said: "I agree with
you that there is no ground whatever
on which to justify r defend war of
any kind.. Again I insist that when
