Japanese militarists have sworn to take Ozaki's life; failure to do so would mean for them a tremendous loss of "face." No sooner was his steamer, the Terukuni Maru, inside Kobe harbor than police arrested three members of a terrorist club attempting to board the ship. Dr. Ozaki smiled at his two pretty daughters, then stepped down the gangplank to a waiting automobile. Other amateur assassins were on the dock. Two of them broke through a police cordon brandishing heavy cudgels, shouting "Wait, Ozaki, wait!" They too were arrested. Unruffled, Dr. Ozaki agreed to return to the ship...
Converse with 74-year-old Yukio Ozaki, former Mayor of Tokyo and member of the Diet since that body first met in 1890, is made difficult by the fact that he is nearly stone deaf. But there is nothing the matter with his foresight. Far clearer than most of his countrymen, he has seen which way Japan was heading.

They who hold that Japan can do better by consciously rejecting unsuitable portions of western civilization might see more progress. Nevertheless, these suggestions place the far eastern question in a light that the ego-istic westerner seldom sees. They show Japan, far from single-minded and bent on onset against the west, in the throes of difficult and diverse evolution. Which all goes to show that the popular mind, if not the scholarly mind also, is ignorant...
