THE DERRICK Highway 75 and 22 MACKENZIE (Continued From Page One) believe in direct action if mere pressure won't avail. Military domination has run in cycles in Japan. For example, the army was dominant and idolized bv the nation during the Ru.sso-.iapanese war which Nippon won. Then follow-ed a period of eclipse, helped by scandals involving aimy and navy leadeis. Came the world war, and the military returned to power once more- But the Siberian campaign against the Bolshevists was a costly failure, both in men and money, and the army gave way to ten years of civilian government.

The army bided its time. Along in 1930 the civilian policy of appeasement in China wasn't paying very big dividends. Things wei going badly with Japan a interests in Mnaehuria. So in September of 1931 the army found an opportunity to strike in Manchuria, which is to say, against the civilian government at home- This opened the current phase of Japanese history. The entire Chinese conquest has been one of military adventuring.

The costs have been huge and there have been periods of vigorous civilian outcry but, while governments have changed, the military has continued to wield the power behind the scenes. Now the army feels that the time has arrived to stiike hard and fast. That in essence would seem to be the meaning of the new government.
