Abstract: The articles put together between these covers have been chosen by the editor with a view to presenting what may be called representative opin- ions of representative Japanese on the foremost questions of the world to-day, such as the Monroe Doctrine and the League of Nations, imperialism and liberalism, democracy and autocracy, militarism and navalism, armament and disarmament, race equality and race discrimination, the "white peril" and the "yellow menace." The Japanese side of the Yap controversy is also fully presented. Of the fourteen articles composing this book all, but two are culled from newspapers, magazines, and books published in Japan or China. Most of them were originally written in Japanese for Japanese publications, and were later translated into English for various English publications in the Orient. The value of these articles lies in the fact that they were, with a few exceptions, addressed primarily or exclusively to the Japanese. None of them was pre- pared especially for this book. They were not writ- ten for foreign consumption. Their respective authors had no eye upon the American or European gallery. They show just what the Japanese are talk- ing among themselves on the vital problems of the world and their bearing upon Japan.
