He says “With profound foresight, the Japanese Empire has seen that progress in the modern world has to depend on the methods of Western civilization, but with reliance on the cultural principle of the East. She has, therefore, modified her form of development to conform to the
modern pattern, did away with extraterritoriality and advanced with rapidly to the status of a Great
Power.
“The Japanese Empire had followed the policy of establishing a Co-Prosperity Sphere, abiding
by the ideal of justice, righteousness and peace. .. Consequently, the War of Greater East Asia had
perforce to break out, and the great and glorious victories achieved by the Imperial Japanese Armed Forces filled the people, throughout, Asia with joy, for therein lies the hope of the people of Greater
East Asia to be able to establish on a solid basis the Co-Prosperity Sphere, in this region.”
