		<description><![CDATA[ Pan-Asianism is one of the potentially explosive ideas that have contributed to Japan&#8217;s drive for expansion. It has become increasingly popular, especially among high military officers, both active and retired. Typical of the spirit of Japanese Pan-Asianism is an article by the publicist Rin Kaito, who, after recalling the religions, arts, and sciences which [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ Professor Teijiro Uyeda, one of Japan&#8217;s leading economists and a specialist on the population question, is convinced that Japan, like other countries which have gone through the process of industrialization and urbanization, will experience a gradual tapering off of the present sharp rate of increase in the number of its inhabitants. He points out [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ A train journey or a cross-country walking trip gives abundant visual evidence that the rural districts of Japan are crowded to the saturation point. Every available inch of land is cultivated; the carefully terraced, irrigated rice fields on the steep hillsides are a monument of patient toil and ingenuity. Between 1920 and 1930, when [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ There is a school of thought, persuasively represented in England by Sir Norman Angell, among others, which contends that the national ownership of raw materials is unimportant and that the alleged grievances of the so-called (&#8217;have-not&#8221; powers are largely, if not entirely, spurious. Members of this school of economic thinking declare that the expense [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ Japan may be regarded, along with Germany and Italy, as one of the three major dissatisfied &#8220;have-not&#8221; powers of the world. It was in Italian Fascist intellectual circles that the idea first found expression that there could just as logically be a &#8220;class struggle&#8221; between rich and poor nations as between the &#8220;bourgeoisie&#8221; and [...]]]></description>

He remarked that, as the people of North China are of the same racial stock as the majority of the inhabitants of Manchoukuo, it would only be natural if, in time, these two territories [...]]]></description>
