S . and Gra^.t Britain, not to make a separate peace, and to cooperate in the establishment of a New Order. Included in the records is a list of attending committee members. The record states that Foreign Minister TOGO ex- plained the circunstances and contents of the agreement "as in the annex". Answering an inquiry by Councillor iSHII regarding t&e length of the agreement, TOGO replies that the first two articles (coirnnon war; no separate peace) w i l l , o f course, be cancelled at the end of the w a r .

N o . 1021, Page 2 , SUMMARY CONT'D Upon an inquiry by Councillor ISHIZUKA, whether the agreement will mean that Germany and Italy, will actively enter the w a r , Foreign Minister TOGO replies, that, al“ though their participation is a premise of the agreement, their intention to participate shall also be announced, separately, by the two countries, as soon as this draft is decided u p o n . (p. 7) /"Committee member SHIMIZU asked the bearing of this proposition to Holland, and also what would be the Chinese people 1s attitude toward this proposition. To this Foreign Minister TOGO replied that he had no formal report of Holland 1s declaring war against Japan, and even if such might happen it would not be necessary for Japan to de- clare war against her； and, as to China, the Nanking Governnent had already made it clear that they would co- operate with Japan. "CoEiciittee member MINAMI questioned if there was any- understanding through conference among the through con- ference among the three powers concerning the -'means of force'' stipulated under Article 1 of this proposition. Premier TOJO and Foreign Minister TOGO answered that they would keep a close connection among the three countries in the future and they expected to leave nothing out of their attention to be regretted later o n , "Committee member SUGAHARA said that -it seemed as if agreement on this proposition required, as its premise, that Germany and Italy should participate in the war ； accordingly it might be proper to sign it after Gernany and Italy actually took part in the w a r , and he inquired the government, authorities of their opinion. To this Premier TOJO and Fciagn Minister TOGO replied that it had been arranged that after signing it, without delay, Hitler was to make public their participation in the w a r , at a Parliament meetingi therefore, it would be all right to trust the wcrds of the German Government.

Ncm we are fighting with a great determination and advancing the aim of this war # ^lthiugh our enemies have cpreod propaganda, it has been admitted by the peoples of the world that it is truly unavoidable for us to take up arms in this war. The emancipation and thrift of Eaat れsia must not be satisfied by the leaders of .-Jiierica and Britain. ar# going on towards our aims with a conviction that the enidn^ipation and prosperity of East nsid are oar tasks which are given by the world, ^e are justified for this war, cind so the Japanese Forces &r供 winning marvelous war results where the spirits of Gods are issued forth. These facts h©ve startled the world. as I have previously stated, this is the war in which we dow雕 ^nier- icar. and Britain, who have been selfish, invasive and aggressive, and who have irrbentions of controlling the world. On the other hand, the nature ©f this war is for the emancipation of East れsia and for the establishment ，f the new world order, accordingly, the governments of Mdnchukuo and China have fully understood cur intentions in the prosecution of the war since its outbreak and have cooperated with a positive zeal. French Indo- China has also cooperated with Japan. Thailand has discerned the aim of this war and has also cooperated with Japan. She ha3 been determined to eliminate American and British influences, vhich have been the roots of evil in East asia. On December 21last year, she concluded the allianae with Japan, The Japanese Government will pay respects to the excellent views of the leaders of Thailand and give full support to their construct- ive efforts* Actually cooperation between the two has increased, iind thus， oar diplomatic organization has been steadilyreompleted. The spirit df cc^peraticn between Japan and these friendly countries has made the carrying out of the war and control cf the Scuth easy, I れs you know, the connection between Japan, Germany and Italy has bo— come ever increasingly tight, and the close cooperation has been embodied, step by step in military affairs, economy, diplomacyj and all the other • W' Doc.

The iron combination of the hxis Powers stands as firm oS a rock, which will become more and more dense. Of course ; the nxls Powers are quite different from the so-called group of allied Powers who gathered many exiled governments. The Neutrality Pact between -Japan and the Soviet Union has still been kept and remains unchanged- Hovjver^, rumors may circulate as a result of the consultation between ^Tierica^ Britain and the Soviet Union. This must not effect the present relation between Japan and the Soviet Union founded on the Neutrality pact. /te are going to keep the good relations between Japan and the neutral countries in South America and Europe from now on to as long as possible. If the countries in South nmeriCd are not tempted by iimerica and do not show their hostile and unfriendly attitudes toward Japan, we will fully respect their positions,, So we will gaze with keen interest at the present Rio de Janeiro Conference^ Our true enemies are the American and British ambitions to control the world, In order to gain their advantages, they make a puppet of a third country and sacrifice her in ccld blood. The world knows that such doings by them ore too numerous to mention• Whatever plot they may lay} we ought not to be tempted, ^e have never been hostile to the inhabitants of the Dutch i&st Indies and, therefore, we have never expected that they sink into the depths of misery on account of ^merica and Britain. However， America, Britain, Holland and Chungking have been united lately and 脳de Dutch East Indies their strategic bare. Moreover^ the act of hostility of the Dutch East Indies has become tvidvat and so we hdve been compelled to commence fighting against the Dutch East Indies. There are still the bigoted people in Chungking who depend on America and Britain^ bvit エ believe that in the near future, these unawakened people will deeply think over our common tasks in all Eost hSio, returja to their proper honorン dnd cooperate in the construction of the new order in East Asia 0 The aim of this war is the establishment of the Greater East asia Co-Prosperity wnich is based on the spirit of the founddtion of Japan; at the same time it decides the joint destiny of all races in East ムsidj so it is notural that the areas absolutely necessary for the defense of East nsia must be grasp^ed by Japan. It is also natural， in view of the justification of this Wc*r> that the areas which have been American and British territories^ be given their proper standings in accordance with the traditions and cultures of their races. Doc. No. 1020 Page 1 DOG. NO. 1C38 (TOGO。SPEECH CCNTINUED) It is truly evident that this war^ the aim of which is the establish- ment of the Greater Ecist ^sia-Cr-Prosperity Sphere, based on such f'anda- mental principles. is quite different- fi^om the so-called invasive war. The leaders of れinericQ and brituin^ who :vant to explain this war ^ith the wcrd "invasive”， h&ve only proved that they kept to that idea and style in accordance with their doings, ue did not expect the lighting of ra-^es which has been pr,»pog£ted by our enemies^ sc we have not admitted any necessity for it， Japan also does not fight with a narrcw-minded exclusive inten- tion. The idea of ths Greater HiQ^t /isia Co-Prosperity Sphere has net the nature へ：exclusiveness • ： • . accordingly^ it is evident that the relotirn of eoonDmy ©nd craTiuni^dtion vdll be dense between the countries in this sphere and tht other friendly countries LS the estab- lishment of this sphere makes progress. Ifi order to carry out the construction of the Greater East Asia Co- Prosperity Sphere, Japan., who has had the leadership of all races in East Asia, must have her grand view and conception cind clear oognition in regard to the principle of co-prcsperity. moreover, she must show her positive attitude according to the construction of the East nsia Co一 Prosperity Sphere in her various orgonizctions and fully meet the ex- pectations of the races in East ^sia• Consequently^ oar duty has been more and more grave, and we， the Japanese nation, must conquer various difficulties with the connection of all Japanese, accomplish the glorious undertaking, and reward to the honor that we live in the Holy era when our country is rising.

These two countries are the most woolthy.ェ can easily imagine they will counter-cittack obstinately and try to recover from their discouraging situation, so we must prepare for various difficulties and s long war. The true war must be in the future. In order to carry out the aim of this holy war, all nations must do their bit for our country with the faith of victory in defidnce of difficulties. The spirits of thrift, militarism, and self-devotion to the stute are Indispensable, not only to overcome these difficulties at the present, but also for our country to thrive. NowjJapan is engaged in the undertaking of establishing the Greater ifiast Asia co-prosperity sphere, ac she pushes the grand militory operations vdth all her might* The fandcinientcil purpose of establishing this Greater East hsia co-prosperity sphere comes truly from the great spirit of Japanese foundation; namely to enable all nations to find their proper place, <und to establish the order of co-prcsperity based on morality in which Japan is the center. This establishment will be mとde by the cooperation of various races in vast areしs.

In constructing this, we hレve L mind to bring under our power those areas which are absolutely indispensoble for the defense of Greater East Asiu dnd to d e d with the others properly in accordonce with traditions and culture of every race, and "one changes of War situations.

He refers to agreement giving Japanese troops passage through Indo-China/. B u t , if Japan's aim is r lly to show to the world the Imperial Morals, behaving as a stabilizing leader of the East Asia, there must be as a fundamental reouireinenty a preparation of a. state of mind, i.e. our Council had declared on the occasion of the consideration of the Basic Treaty between Japan and China that the essential is to capture the senti- nents of the Chinese people and since the same essential should be brought to our relations with French Indo-China and THAILAND y we cannot consider it perfect, so far as we cannot seize their thoughts. I approve therefore this draft under such noaning." (p. 45-4b) 2) Another example of pressure on the French is given by the reporter's review of France's hesitancy to conclude a tr aty of residence and navigation because "France was afraid the advance of the Japanese and Japanese goods in French Indo-China so we could not obtain our objective but with the change of the general aspect in France clue to her surrender to Germany. we have connenced negotiations".

According to it, the first step towards the cooperation of the two countries in their anti-communistic policy was made by the Japanese Ambassador in Berlin, MUSHAKOJI. The report states that the secret attached protocol of the pact against the communist International aims at protecting common interests of Japan and Germany against the oporession vdth force of the Soviet Union. Attached to this report is the text of the explanations given to the Committee by Premier HIROTA (11/13/36), indicating a combination of political and military aims in concluding these agreements in the repeated reference to Russian armaments in the Far East ( p . 1 ) a n d "armed advancement of the Soviet Union" (p.2) This is followed by the explanations given by the Foreign Minister (ARITA) and by the Minister of War (TERAUCHI), The latter clarifies the military backgrounc of these agreements B He states that the Red Army is, at present, the best armed in the world, that the Bolsheviza- tion campaign is being efficiently carried out in China, etc., and thcit Russia's back is protected in case of an emergency in the Far East by her treaties with France and Czechoslovakia, The Soviet troops in the Far East can live for at least half a year without supplies from the hinterland, In case a Russo-Japanese war should break out, China will stand against Japan, and we cannot expect help from England and America,, Under such circumstances, we consider it best that we join hands with Germany 0 Germany will keep neutrality and might probably tnreaten the Soviet Union from the west, thus checking her advance eastward.’ Germany, who has been the instructor of the D o c , N o e 1105 Page 2 D o c . N o . 1105 - Page 3 - SIMMARY cont'd * Soviet in establishing her Red Army, is able to judge her real power and development in the future。 Moreover, Germany's policy of advancing eastward necessitates her close investigation of the Soviet and her army, which will be profitably utilized by us in getting informations both in peace and in wartimes, The present pact against the Communist Internationr.l is not meant to regard the Russians as our enemy. It aims at preventing the disasters of war before it gets too late. We have no intention of attacking the Soviet Union in collaboration with Germany. We only wish to make things turn favorable to us if a war should break out • In case of a Russo-German war, the Japanese Empire is not necessarily obliged to join it Although the Berlin treaty is not abolished yet, it is not nacessary to be worried about it, since Germany is firmly resolved to cooperate with Japan.‘ The leading spirit in national policies is more important than treaties.
