PUBLICATION SEES JAPAN AS CHAMPION OF WEAKER NATIONS (By Associated Press) TOKIO, Sept. 9. Japan would become the leading nation in the world, the champion of weaker peoples, while the United States and Great Britain would drop back to secondary posi tions in the international scale if Tokio's representatives would enter the forthcoming international conference at Washington, prepared to free Korea and Formosa, withdraw from Manchuria and Siberia, and cease pressure on China, according to the Oriental Economist. The Economist, which Is paying a great deal of attention to the conference on limitation of armaments by President Harding, laughs at the dismay with which the government and people of Japan have received Washington's proposals. It declares that if Japan is prepared to abandon her imperialism she may confound her critics and reap lasting prestige. The paper argues: Would Embarras Americans, r "Suppose that Japan abandoned Manchuria and Shantung, discontinued pressure to which China is believed to be subjected at the hands of Japan, and granted freedom to the Koreans and Formosans, then both Great Britain and America wcruld be reduced to an extremely distressing position. "With Japan alone acting on so liberal a principle, it would be impossible for them to maintain their moral position in the world," the article continues. "In that case China and other weak nations would bow to Japan in confidence, India, Persia, Egypt, Haiti and other possessions of great powers would rise in a body, demanding freedom for themselves as Korea and Fornosa had gained the same from Japan." Would Mean Rapid Use. In this way Japan's position would rise from the lowest to the highest pitch, causing a contrary change to the positions of Britain, America and others. In this way only can Japan be saved." The editor of the Oriental Economist" uses official figures tending to prove that Japan's colonies, econom ically speaking are not "worm tne candle." He said that it is the United States, India and England that are necessary to Japan's economic existence. He sums up his arguments with the statement: "It is quite an illusion to think that our occupation of Korea and Forneca and our interference in China and Siberia are bringing economic advantages to Japan."
