About the Japanese (1944)

From the May 1944 issue of the Socialist Standard
  "The Japanese have' proved themselves a sub-human race. . . . When they are beaten back to their own savage land, let them live there in complete isolation from the rest of the world, as in a leper compound, unclean."—(Daily Mail, January 29, 1944.) 
   "There is also the pathos of a decent people bound in the Army's fanatical tyranny. Mr. Morris has a deep affection for the Japanese. His students, without exception, loathed and did everything possible to avoid military training."—(From a review of "Traveller from Tokyo,” by John Morris, who was in Japan till July, 1942, Manchester Guardian, November 5, 1943.)
