Response To Editorial #2

Japan is a beautiful country. Their lush land, harmless citizens, and peaceful religion sets up a perfect enviroment for zen, peace, and hospitality. Apprently, their military leaders do not care at all of the appearance of their country. The recent acts of aggresion taken by them have duly been noted by the rest of the world. They say they want a "sphere of influence" meaning to them they want to make almost all of the pacific people of an asian heritage. I could see this being understandable, I really could. But the rape and ruthless murder of manchurian citizens is outright horrid. Japans recent move of leaving the League of Nations makes sense now. They want to be kept to themselves with no one even thinking of coming close to them. The invasion of Manchuria was clearly to strike fear into the other countries of the world. It did, the U.S. has always been a supporter of Japan until now. With the recent moves taken by them we simply no longer agree. The U.S. shall start cutting off trade and oil shipments  to Japan. We shall only hope for the best that Japan will understand why we dont agree anymore.
