In regard to Japan and Korea the authors conclude: In spite of a diplomatic record of broken promises and many acts of oppression and injustice, it is our opinion that Japan should not be judged too harshly for her treatment of Korea. To be sure this record may make us wary of Japanese diplomacy, but it should not blind us to the defects of the Korean government. Never perhaps has there existed a weaker government, one more corrupt and more incapable of government than that of Korea. An explanation is offered to show how it has been possible to quote Japan so often against herself on the subject of the release of Shantung. It is stated that this intention to restore Kiao-cha- u eventually to China was only in case of its peaceful transfer to Japan. As a prize of war Kiao-cha- u is another matter, and there is not the same obligation to restore it to China. The authors are not in accord with the Japanese argument that if there is a Monroe Doctrine for the west there is no reason why there should not be one for the east. They say: The analogy of Japans policy in Asia with the Monroe Doctrine has some striking aspects. In so far as Stays In Utah u, !
