of China's Russia-Mongolia problem and then launches
into the justification for the alliance.//

The following telegram came from Peking on 11
November 1912:
“Thanks to the initiative of Dr. Sun Hi Çin, a dinner was
given for
Japanese delegates in the hall of the Palace Hotel by the republic
and
national parties. Invitees for the
dinner included Japanese notables
residing in China and Japanese
correspondents. At the same gathering,
after long discussions the
“Japan-China Club” was inaugurated and
the decision was taken to engage in a
joint effort for the sake of
establishing friendly association between the two states."
On 12 November: “It has been announced, to great relief,
that the
secret agreement between Russia and Mongolia has been exposed.”
The text of a telegram dated the 13th is given here: “However much
the (Chinese) government has not determined
its path regarding the
Russia-Mongolia alliance, nevertheless today discussions
will begin
with the national society delegation and the path to be followed
will
be determined.”
All Chinese are extremely vexed regarding this matter and
most of
them want it to be resolved with arms.
Yesterday, the military officers
gave a petition to republic chief Yuan
Şıka, proposing that he take a
definitive stand on this issue. All Chinese people are quite upset.
Because no serious approach has been taken
the people are attacking
the government.
The foreign minister and his deputy have resigned,
along with many other
senior officials.
"Asia Alliance"
The governor-general of “Chiri” remains in Peking, with the
idea of
pressuring the government.” In other words, all of this is fodder for
an Asian
alliance. The Japanese government should
not miss this
opportunity to first make a China-Japan alliance. Next, there should
be an initiative for an
alliance with the Ottoman, Afghan and Siamese
(Thailand) states. Hearing about such a union, Acemistan (Iran)
would extend its hand and join in. The
young people in the India
government would start to send their secret
representatives, who would
perhaps, openly ask for asylum. When it comes to Cava Cezire
(Indonesia),
they already understand the goal.
The
number of enlightened thinking men there is not insignificant
and they would
lend a helping hand to us right away. Prior
to
establishing such an alliance a prudent and sensible guide is
necessary.
Governments that compete with
one another all the time can never
agree on a sound alliance. The Triple Alliance was such a sound
alliance because Wilhelm was its administrator.
On the other hand, the
Triple Entente was not a sound alliance because
it did not have an
efficient manager.
An influential event like the Russia-Japanese War was
unprecedented
in Asia. Until the Russia-Japanese War, all Europeans of the white
race
always degraded the Asian people and Asians thought they had no
choice but
to accept this European degradation. The
time came, though,
for the Japanese armies to win a number of successes and
then the East
was enlivened. All of the
people of the East have proven that this new
life will go on uninterrruptedly
henceforth, by holding their heads up
high after hanging them down for
centuries. The Europeans used to say
that civilization is theirs but actually it belongs to Asia and Europeans
are
our pupils.
As of the Russia-Japanese War, all Easterners have developed
a sincere
love for Japan and all Asians nourish the hope that they will be
governed
under the protection of Japan. In 1911, one of the Sultans of Malaysia
sought asylum in
Japan, complaining about the actions of Dutch officials.
Another one secretly sent a representative to
Japan and requested arms to
defend themselves.
There can be no doubt that all of the people of the
East are eager to
gather under the flag of the “Rising Sun”.
