The following quotes are taken froia this letter: "I feel so ie sympathy with those who advocate internal renovation, but I find the Rightists are of very shallow nature and no thin-; could be hoped from them." "If war breaks out, there may come an outstart of a healthy reformation of state just as during the .iorld war we found an almost perfect control of state under Lloyd George, a Liberalist. If it were war time, capitalists and the ZAIBATSU may stand any sacrifice. If a suitable statesman could be found to carry out ;-our policy, unexpectedly good results iay be brought about with unity in the nation." Doc. SL. 2419 Doc. No. 2419 - Page 2 - STli l̂ RY Cont'd "Questioning pro and con regarding war between Japan and Russia nay call for an infinite number of opinions. Also, as you say, this may not be an urgent matter, but it all depends on whether the Army settles their attitude in the near future or not, i.e., whether they take a decisive step or not. If the Army's policy is decided under present circumstances, nothing can prevent that. If either diplomatic officials or political party personnel can suppress them, the best thing is to assist them in their enterprise and do our best along the line of actual methods to carry out their program." The following are quotes from the iemorandum of A- -wov 35' "Japanese Govern-.ental policy toward China is question- able as to its pertinence. The .army is aiming to make North China a hind of h^TCEUKUO, but suen is also questionable. Our fundamental principle should be the Japanese policy to exclude other power's influences from China, The point is to drive away all harmful influences; not all kinds, but oni3r harmful ones. Japan should cancel extra- territoriality in China and thus make other power's conces- sions cancelled and make their advisors go home. Tne -lost harmful influence in China is of course U.8.8.R, who is conspiring for another world .,ar to carry out world 'wide proletarian revolution. China and India are her immediate objectives. If' we weep looking on her conspiracy, she is sure to give us great damage. I small never agree •with such an "on looker" policy. Russia is the greatest threat to Japan in the world. I do not agitate the country for 'war right now, but start negotiations with great resolution of not shunning war against her." SHIRAFGRI's plan for negotiation included: 1. Prohibition of communist movements in .asia. 2. Disarmament of VLADIVOSTOK. 3. Pishing and forestry rights. Doc. No. 2419 rage 2 Doc. No. 2419 - rage 3 - SUMIARY Cont'd U. rurchase of northern half of SAGEALEN. 5. Future purchase of eastern coast of SIBERIA. In reviewing diplomatic steps necessary, SHIRATORI believed that since Germany thought as Japan did, there was no need to get an understanding from her; that U.S. would adopt a non-committal attitude; that negotiation -with England was lost essential. He favored conclusion of a treaty between Japan, China, and U.S.S.R. stating that a nominal peace was useless. To quote further, SEIRATGRI says, "A great need for present Japan is to make a final settlement of accounts with Russia. This necessarily means a war, and v/e diplomats should of course, avoid such words, but except for today, there will not be 3113'' chance to gee away from Russian disaste: forever. If it is left m the present situation, Russia woul- be a really powerful country in ten years, and no other country can stand as her rival." "In order to make Russia weak, make her a weak capitalistic state and limit extremely, her natural resources, This cannot be done later, but now when her state is comparatively weak.;! "The world in general is against the Comintern. -hiie i is like this, we may have success in fighting against her." "There will be about one or half a year before war break out between Russia and Japan. In this time Russia ̂ a.y not be able to really get ready, as she doesn't have adequate means.1 In conclusion, SEIRATGRI requests ARITA to "do Ais best" in China, and suggests the following literature as being of possible interest: CH,'JIBERLAIN's "Soviet Russia; Iron AGE; Russian Revolution'".

Tmo particulars of the above are as stated below: I. Circumstances lea ling to establishment. (Summary) Before proceeding to China as the commander-in- chicf, General TASHIRO was directed by the Foreign ministry not tc get into the jurisdiction of the diplomatic organ, because particular situ tions in North China had been causing continuous outbreaks of complicated and professional problems regarding finance, economy and transportation, etc. apart from general policies towards China. And as it would net be agreeable for military personnel, the majority of whom arc amateurs, to enter too far into the above fiolds, therefore the decision was reached upon to establish the North China Economic P. licy Council which was somewhat similar to Council to study manchu-Mangclian Executive Policy Drafts and it was decided that all matters concerning economy and finance in North China would bo voted and decided at the said Council. However, the Foreign ministry expressed the opinion that the objects of discussion should not be c.nfined only to cconomy but should covcr all matters connected with North China cxcept that of supreme command, thus the said Council would discuss and dccide various problems in North China and the auth ritios in North China would take that into action based cn the decision of the Council.

AS proof of this, the society has assisted the TOGAKU-TO in KOREA to punish CHIN dynasty in 1894; helped ACUHIALDO in 1899 in his attempts toward gaining PHILIF?II® independence; helped SUN YAT SEN in starting revolutionary movements at time of BOXER Rebellion in 1900, and after formal establishment of the-society in 1901 advocated the maxim "Punish Russia". A11 this proves the society's interest in Japan's external problems and fulfillment of Japan's mission.
