I ask you to remember that the Japanese troops are a strictly disciplined force and perform their duties with as little harmfulness as possible.

If we have a thousand bamboo spears, there's nothing to worry about a war with the Soviet Union.

It is Japan's mission to be supreme in Asia, the South Seas and eventually the four corners of the world.

Let the League of Nations say whatever it pleases, let America offer whatever interference, let China decry Japan's action at the top of her voice, but Japan must adhere to her course unswervingly.

In appointing our Ambassador to the United States at this important time, with the 1936 crisis ahead, such considerations as dignity, past career, equity and sentiment must be discarded and a man of ability chosen in the interests of the country. In the light of these considerations, we find Hiroshi Saito, present Minister of Holland, the right person for the post.

Frivolous thinking is due to foreign thought. Japan must no longer let the impudence of the white peoples go unpunished. It is the duty of Japan to fulfill her natural destiny, to cause China to respect the Japanese, to expel Chinese influence from Manchuria, and to follow the way of imperial destiny.

We have no hesitation in declaring that we are a military nation- in the cause of Kodo and the highest morality.
