was interrupted by WWI. The quest remained, though,

6)Indochina
After the Russian-Japanese War, the French government began
to
worry about an association between Indochina and Japan. And
although Indochina does not have really
have great importance, the
French government is giving it more weight than
Marrakesh.
A writer in the newspaper “Leşyu du Çin” wrote:
“Right now there many individuals and groups that are
thinking about
an armed insurrection in Indochina. Most prominent among them are
the Anams
(Vietnamese). Based on the Chinese rebellion that quickly
and successfully
toppled the centuries-old Chinese dynasty, proponents
of an Anam republic are
grabbing their guns and are ready to risk
everything for it. Those advocating this action made excellent programs
and
perfect plans and intended to assassinate government officials on a
particular
day but the government learned of their decision and many
individuals were
arrested. After this happened the French
government
took very serious and determined
measures.
7)
Siam (Thailand)
Beautiful Siam would certainly and happily concur with the
Japanese
proposal. Even if France were
of a mind to oppose this, it absolutely
could not threaten Japan.
8)Cava
Cezairi (Indonesia)
These people have long thought about association with
Japan. It is not
even worth going into
detail about this because the Dutch have been so
oppressive toward the people
of Java. And since every Japanese has so
much information about this matter, I choose to remain quiet on it.
9)Turkistan
When it comes to the people of Turkistan, who have been
crushed by
Russian tyranny, even the most ignorant of them still nurture the
thought of independence in their minds.
The most wonderful pages
of mankind and civilization are to be found in
the history of Turkistan.
They are still
not accustomed to captivity and their past remains before
their eyes. Four years ago, a well-respected man came to
Japan and
provided us with excellent information about Turkistan. In particular,
he made some very important
and notable recommendations about the
matter of an Eastern alliance. At that time, our newspapers were
publishing
this man’s ideas each day and continued to do so for months.
Consequently, there can be no doubt that
Turkistan would be
unhesitatingly in favor of the idea of an Asian alliance.
10)Japan
Japan is the beginning and the end of this matter. Actually, the issue is
quite simple and
easy. The only difficult part is getting
the Japanese
government to assume the duty of guiding the way, which it has yet
to
find the courage to do. Unfortunately, in Japan today there are very few
men
in the leadership who have their own ideas and are willing to act
upon
them. This is the crux of the
matter.
This being the case, if the
people in Japan’s leadership do not want to
understand this issue then the
nation must take hold of it or men who
understand it should come to power. My last words for the Japanese are
these: no
one other than the Japanese can provide guidance for the
“Alliance of the
East”. This is the time. The nation that does not avail
itself of this
opportunity has given up its right to
live in this world.
There is a wonderful opportunity to take a step toward the
Asia alliance:
the Chinese special representative Sun Hi Çin will be coming to
Japan.
One wonders why this man of great
intellect is coming? Strike while the
iron is hot! Every action in history is evaluated, but those who begin to
establish the Asia Alliance will not have to wait to be evaluated because
the
first step for peace among mankind will have already been put in
place.
