Written after the outbreak of war between Japan and China but
putting aside British sentiments of suspicion, dislike and a sense
of competition, G C Allen bases his observations of Japanese
social, political and economic life on his first-hand experience of
living and working in the country for a number of years. He argues
that the economic expansion of Japan was regarded as a greater
threat to Britain because of Japan's political aims and aggressive
territorial expansion, but he is at pains to explain the Japanese
domestic circumstances which gave rise to this situation. He also
argues that the expansion of the British Empire has some parallels
with Japanese expansion, without condoning Japanese methods.
Overall the author emphasizes the extent to which judgments about
the qualities of the Japanese people have been influenced by the
political views of writers in Western countries.
