Origin of "New Order"

The slogan, "a new order in East Asia," was first pronounced by Prince Ayamaro Konoye, former, Japanese Prime Minister in his declaration fon November 3 of last year, Col. Hamada, a military spokesman, do-clared in his article in the "Tairiku Shimpo."

This term was again employed by the Japanese Government in its note to the United States on November 18 of last year. "Like a torch in the dark of night, it was highly signiflcant," he said.

The Kuomintang Government must have seen the Three People's Principles being outshone by the high aspirations expressed in this new term, he remarked, which was proved. by one of the most militant Snpanese journals under Nationalist influence. This journal criticized it In an editorial paying tribute to the Japanese who had coined the new term, Col. Hamada recalled.

"AMI Embracing"

It Is "all embracing," Col. Hamada continued, and included the realization of the common entity of Japan, Manchoukuo, and China in all its divers implications, recognition of Manchoukuo's growth, and the extermination of Communism.—Eastern thought, its economic and political systems, and its cultural movements, should be given new impetus in the establishment of a new order, he commented.

The call for observance of the new order week," he said, was like "a torch shedding light along the royal way to a common objective fof © trumpet leading the march to the cal of a new order."

Col. Hamada expressed the hope that the "now order week" will awaken Western Powers, which are atlompting to make Asia the object of their exploitation, and that it will warn the Kuomintang Government "which has resigned itself to the beck and call of these Powers.

"Herein lies the reason for the present hostilities being called sacred warfare." the military spokesman declared, "which fact will be made clear after, the present hostilities are concluded, China has been subjected Anglicized mandarins and French influences," he went on. Me paid a igh tribute to Japan, who" "has assimilated the essence of Western culture and civilization, hich she has made instrumental in helping to develop those of her own." Mr. Wen urged. the *Fenaissance of China" as 4 most needed object in establishing the new order.
