NIPPON· PHI LIPPTNES

IAL SUPREMACY Prior to the outbreak of the war, both the U. . aud Britain have been scoffing at Nippon's aerial power. In contrast to this misguided attitude they have been giving undue publicity to their OW11 air power which is proving impotent. ippon's aeria l supremacy can not be judged merely in terms of her warplanes' mechanical efficiency or by the number o[ airplanes. In faot the superiority of Nippon's warplanes is recognized by the American and British mi litary expert. but her air prowess does not depend upon machine alone. We mu t not overlook the importance of the superior trained pilots and aviators who Illan these I lane . The will to die [or their country, plus the undallllted fighting spirit is beyond tbe comprehen ion of foreign er. In addition to these spiritual qualities of the officers and men of the army and naval air forces, it is tbe technique re ulting from vigorous training and preparedness that make Nippon's air force supreme and invincible. Not to be out· done by her enemies ippoD is constantly devising new models and techniques which may be emp loyed in aeria l warfare.

CHINA'S SOVEREIGNTY IS RESPECTED On ovember 30, 194.0, Genera l obuyuki Abe, Ambassador to China, and Wang Cili ng-wei, Presiden t of the ationa l Government of Cllina, signed a Ba ic Treaty and a Protoco l. The treaty. which is de igned to adjust relations between the two governm ents, provides for good neighborly relation s, mutua l respect of each other's sovereignty, territorial integrity, abo lition of ippon ese co nsular jurisdiction (extraterritorial rights) in Chin a, and the restoration of conce sion s as new condi tions deve lop und er the said trea ty warranting such action. Nippon p ledged to he lp China becomc an independ ent overeign na tion , and recognized the ationa l Goverment as the on ly and the legitim ate governm enl in China. Early this year President Wang Ching-wei isited Tokyo and conferred wi th Primier Ifideki Tozyo and other government leaders. On January 9th tllis year, the ational Government of Chin a d (路 Iared war on the U. . and

Bri tain . nd er a joint declaration signed betwecn the Government of Nippon and the Nationa l Government of China, each plcdged to cooperate " in the prosecutio n of the war agai nst the U nited tates and thc British Empire and in the 'o nstru ction of a new order in G)'eater East Asia," and to collaborate" politica lly, economi ca lly, and militarily. ,. imuJtaneo usly with this joint pledge, a new agreement concern ing Nippon's re toratio n and re linquishment of the extraterrit orial rights and con cession in

Chin a was signed. Tllis agreement wa the fulfillment of Nippon's pledge under the Basic Treaty of 1940. In add ition to these subjects, Nippon has also transferred to the National Government the admini tration and control of enemy property in China, ",Ilich had been seized by Nippon since the war. This is based on the spirit of the new and changed re lations between the two co untries, and a genuine mani-

festation that ippon re peets China's sovereign ty and independen ce.

these parts, as the " \ orld's granary." They not on ly exploited the native in · habitants at sweat wage, but sent the aw material back to their mo ther ountTie ,which were manufacturcd into f]nished produ cts and so ld to the natives. Thus the native were exploited in dual capacitie . First they produced the raw materials and later were forced to consume the fini shed produ cts mannIactLued from uch materials. From this it is obvioll that the implication of "world's granary" meant that these regions merely served as source of sustenance for the Dutch, British, and Americans. These two comparative maps show the sources of food supplies before the War of Greater East Asia and one year thereafter. A very anachronistic si tuation existed wi th regard to the food situation before the War of Grea ter East Asia. Instead of encouraging the native inhabitants to produce food and seek self-sufficiency, the exploiters had been compelling the former to live on canned food s which, in many cases. were beyond the mean of the average native. Curiously enough the natives' " civilization " was based on installment plan. Their meagre earnings went into cheap enamelled or nickel· plated wares, while those who could afford, bought refrigerators, piano, radios and other mechani cal

contrivances as badge of the white man's civilization. In fact such was the AngloSaxon's colonial policy and imperialism throughout the world. The top map shows the predicament io whi ch the natives were placed with regard to food supplies under the Dotch , British aod American rule. Now let us examine the food situation sin ce the soothern region had been

occupied by lhe Nipponese forces. Nippon's war aim is to liberate the native inhabitants from the shackles of the American, British , and Dutch bondage of long standing, and build a co· prosperity sphere under which the resources in Greater East Asia can be developed by the Asiatic races. One of the first tasks undertaken by the Nipponese military administration in the occupied areas was to devise a well-balanced economy so that there shall be no ex essive dependence on any one region for food supplies. Tlus was acllieved by diversification of crops, proper adjustment of surplu and shortage in the existing production, and scientific farming according to the varied topography and climate. Such diversification would insure self-sufficiency in food

industrial construction consists ju ting the surplus and deficiency, whi ch is being done unde,' the guidan ce of the military administration . For example, where there is an over.production of rice in one region , the surpIu is diverted to regions which are less productive or lack ri ce. Or if an abundance of certain product exists, which can not othen';se be disposed of, then such product is reo placed by the 'ultivation of other crop to augment the food situation.

NIPPOI ·PHILIPP I E.

THE IMPERIAL ARMY DAY arch 10th has been set a ide as the Imperial Army Day which is observed every year. This year is the 38 th an· niversary, but it has a deeper meaning than the I reviolls ones. Thirty eight years ago on March 10, 1905, d,u'ing the Russo· Nippon War, the Imperial Nipponese Army fought its fin al and deci ive battle at Mukden where it annihilated the mighty

Ru iaLl army.

Following he r poli 'y of Asiatic ell croachll.ent, Ru ia began to make inroads inlo this part of the world, and tlus penetra· tion obviously threa tened ippon's national I 0 ition. Nippon's overtures at peaceful negotiations proved futile, for Russia ippon then boasted f ha"ing che largest army in the world. had no ulternative but to take up arms in se lf·defense as we U as in protection o f Asia Jgainst the Ru ssiall domination. In doing so ippon even staked her national existe nce. In com memorating the valiant deeds of those who had laid down their lives in defe nding the country against the Russian me nace, March 10th was chosen a the Army Day which had been inaugurated 38 yea rs ago. Ever sin ce the Russo.Nippon War, as the fo re runner to the co n truction of the new order in Ea t A ia, ippo n has beoll co ntinuing her efforts in attain ing this 0 jective. The Man· churia n In c·ident, the China Affair, and th aurrent War of Greater East Asia are co ntinuation of the waJ' aims which originated from the Ru so·Nippon War. T~ e re nit of the Russo· ippon War e levated Nippon's international statu, and gave a n impetus to other Asiatic powers to stem the tide of we tern imperiali. m which' had gained a foothold in East Asia , and deelal'e independe nce from the British, Dutch, and Ame· ri can yoke. Manchoukuo had become a n independent state. a nd Chin a, under Presi dent Wang Ching.wei, is nolY on the path of reju venation under an a ll.Asiati c new order.

Today 1 ippon is engaged in a gigantic warfare against the U.S. and Britain, who were supposedly to have been friendly and sympathetic towards Nippon during the Russian war. But we should hold no delusion abollt these powers, whose Stth · sequent activities amply proved that they were ,. sbeep in wolves' kin, ., and disturbers of peace in East Asia. Just as Nippon had fought Russia for the sake of existence, elf·defense, and liberation of the Asiatic races from the we· stern domination, so is the War of Gr~ater Ea t Asia which is being fought for similar purpose. As pointed out by Fuehrer Hitler, this war should not merely decide victory and defeat like all other wars. but there must be an uncompromising and complete victory for the Axis powers. In order to achieve tlus objective of comple te vi ctory. the common enemies of mankind, the U.S. and Britain, must be crushed. This means that Nippon a nd her allies mu t not cease fighting until the foes are completely crushed. Thus the Army Day is of unusual signifi cance this year. Tn entering the second year of the War of Gre~ter East Asia a very appropriate slogan: "UTITESI YAMA .. (Until the Foe i Cru hed) has been selected, under which the Army Day was observed. .. UTITES I YAMA ,. was origi.nally used by the first Em· peror Zinmu ill co nquering the bandits who had been scourging the country. Emperor Zinmu advised the bandit chieftan to surrender, and the latter having refused to do so, the Emperor assumed the offen ive taclics of Illighting the foe nntil he was crushed . The one hunch'ed million Nipponese are also imbued with this spirit in their immutable determination to annihilate th Ang lo.American power for the ake of world peace.

e rece ntly ca lled on H. E. Sablu'o Kurusu at his resid ence in Nagata. tyo . It will be recalled that His Exce l. lency was sent to the U. S. as special envoy to assist Ambassador Adm iral Ki. saburo omura in the final negotiation with President Roosevelt in an effort to avert, if possible, the current wa r. " We ll , what can T do for yo u, boys?"

His Exce llency greeted us fri endl). a. he seate I him elf across the tab le in a well路furnished and decorated foreign路 tyle drawing.room . Apparently he thought that we were newspaper men o we explained the purpose of our visi l. " Your Ex eUency, we lwdersland thaI because of your close association

NIPPO ·PHILIPPINES with the Philippines, the Filipinos reo gard you in high esteem. Therefore, we believe they will be interested to know how you are getting along since your return from America," we began. Mter that he loosened up, so to speak. The reticence which he might have exercised seemed to have disappeared. " I was in the Philippines for about two years, and also stopped over on my way to America recently. Of course, [ have many friend s among the Filipi. nos," he said beaming affably. He then IlEked us whether we understood Spanish, to which we replied in the negative. " Well, there's an interesting aspect concerning rn y name •Kurusu' which is associated \\~th the Spanish word 'cruz,' meaning 'cross.' The nam e (Cruz' is quite common aJUong the Filipinos, just as Smith and Jone. Perhaps because 'Kuru u' and 'Cruz' sound alike, the Filipino readily remember my name ," His Excellency explained mode tly with a sm ile. "What have you been doing since your return to ippon last fall? " we a ked with some misgiving that uch a question might have been rather im· pudent. "Leading a sort of rei ired life," he casually remarked. " For that reason' don't k.now what's going on outside. But this much I do know, " he empha. sized. "We are all united and are striving to overcome the various diffi· culties confronting the nation. We want the Filipino friend s to understand and collaborate with us in so lving the common problems, which the races in this part of the world are fa cing to· day." The Kurusus are blessed with three children-a son and two daughters. Their elder daughter is married, the son is a member of the Imperial air force, and the second daughter is living with her parents. " What are His Excellency's hob . bies," we asked Madame Kurusu who later joined us in the conversation. " He reads prodigiously" she inform. ed us. " He is also fond of calligraphy. The art of writing with the Japanese hrush is different from the mechanical penmanship. I think calligraphy is a good mental training because it reo quires concentration and steadies the nerves," she remarked and glanced at her llUsband who nodded approvingly. "You've forgotten another hobby,"

His Excellen y reminded Madame Ku. ru,su.

"Oh, yes. r ahno t forgot to men· tion your favorite walking," she said almost apologetically. Through the interview we got the impre ion that [-lis Excellency could not have been the rune per on who had played uch an importan t part in the final parley at Washington. The informality and the spontaneous hW11(, .,

stTipped of forensics and stilted phraseology, characterized him "s a finished diplomat rather than a politi cian. He is devoid of bombast, and our impression of him gained through the prcss and publi c uUerances was entirely dif. feren t from what we had acquired duro ing our brief interview. '-Ie is modest, genial, and appears sincere in his dealings with people. I-Jjs Excellency is in good health , and enjoying life.

WHAT MlllES AN AEROPLANE FLY? BY

H~R~D~

III e all know that the aeroplanes are

·1

playing a vi tal role in today' war· fare. Perhaps it is not a wishful think· ing to assume that the decisive factor in victory or defeat will depend upon the aerop lane. Nippon's suecessivevictories are nO doubt due to her mi litary <lncl 'Uava l prowess and the cause of justice fo( wllieh she is fighting. But we must not overlook l he fact that she is also equipped with superior aeropla nes. Con· scquently much in tere t is being shown . aerop lanes, but I wish to explain rtain elemental principles pertaining to the night aspect. How come that such a heavy object as the aerop lane can soar in the air? T his is due to lhe presence of the air. T he earth is enve loped in the air, and we are living in the bottom of the at· mosp heric sea. We are like the she lls living in the botto m of the ocean. How· ever, unlike the case of the water, the air becomes thin as we reach the upper strata of the atmosphere. But like the ocean there is a greater pressure at the bp ttom because the weight of the air

UITUO

from above is constantly bringing pre· ssure on the objects in the lower strata. T his principle is known as atmospheric pressure. Now there is nothing curious about a balloon, which is filled with a sub· stance lighter than air, to float in the sky. But why is it that an airplane, whi ch is heavier than the air, can remain in the air ? One of the reasons is be· cause of the re istance which the air offers to the heavy airplane that will fall but for uch reSlstance. You probably have seen a heavy ?iece of board being lifted off the grolmd by an un usually stro"g wiud . This is caused by the fast movlUg air current, rather tl18n the wind , whie-h trjke. the board and lifts it. In the case of an aeroplane the air curren t from the oppo ite direction in which the aeroplane is moving strikes the under part of the tilted wing and lifts the aeroplane. See diagram No. l. The wing plays an inlportant part in keeping the aeroplane aloft , because the upper part of the wing is a convex which not only resists the air current but causes

NIPPO ·PHI LIPP INES

TO H

i' ?;t.!)

a uction to lift the plane. Let me introduce an interesting ex· periment. Bend both ends of a square piece of paper. An empty cigarette box will do. Place it on a table with the bent ends downward, and blow through the opening with your mouth as illustrat· ed in diagram No.2. No matter how hard you may blow you can not lift the box off the table because there is little pre ure beneath the box, while the atmospheric pressure keep it down. When the propeller revolve the air current created by its revolutiun pushe the aeroplane forwarr\. The upp r ee· tion of the wing has a ron vex surface. During its 8ight the air passes above and below the wing. The air current passes through the upper convex surface at fast velocity so there is less pressure, and thus causes a suction which lifts the aeroplane. The air current that passes through the under section of the wing pushes the plane upward. Thus with the combination of the suction and Ule upw!lId push, the aeroplane is lifted and

remains in the air. See diagram o. 3. The suction is greater than the po" er to push upward. When the aeroplane is flying at great speed it become ne· cessary to tilt the wings upward. From th foregoin it becomes clear that unless an aeroplane is fl ying it can not rernain Ul the air, but it must be beyond a certait;l speed. That is why an aeroplal)e volplanes awhi le before it can actually take off, since it must de· velop speed 1;0 lift itself off Jhe ground . In any case an aeroplane's flight is controlled by the air, which also acts as an obstruction ill its flight. Higher the altitude thinner becomes the air, there· fore it lessens all aeroplane' ability to stay in the air. If the diffi culty in this altitude flight and other problems can be overcome or soJved, an advance will have been made in aeronautic science. Air· plane flying in nigh altitude will be be· yond the reach of anti·aircraft barrage, and con equently air raids are likely to become easier. High altitude flying is called "stratosphere flight. "

He stressed the point that the love for h is wife wa greater and deeper than that for the other wo men! Nelle seemed to have under tood this, and thereafter exerted greater effort to ho ld her husband's love. Soon thereafter Hideyosi carried out a military expedition to the we tern part of ippon . It was a long campaign, but his wife kept vigil as the lord of the castle. During his ab ence, Oda obunaga was assassinated in Kyo to by his trusted retainer. Aketi Mituhide, who had turned a rebel.
