• Dr. Inazo NITOBE's reputation as "a father of Japanese liberalism" has recently been challenged by such Japanese scholars as Prof. Jiro INUMA, Prof. Shin-ichi TANAKA and Prof. Yuzo OHTA. They hold that NITOBE did not consider the Chinese and the Koreans as equals, and that he, therefore, saw their subjection to Japan as inevitable. That explains, they say, why in later years NITOBE defended Japanese aggression in Manchuria. In this brief essay, the author tried to make clear NITOBE's view on colonialism as a key to understanding his later defense of Japanese actions in Manchuria. From his earlier writings on colonialism there emerge three aspects of his view. 1) He regards colonized people as, so to speak, juveniles who need to be taken care of by adults. 2) Each nation has its strengths and its weaknesses. Those who have developed the richest culture, China and Korea for example, are not always sufficiently competent in politics and administration. There could be, therefore, a sort of "division of labour" among nations. 3) Land should be utilized by those who can utilize it best. Therefore, Japan as one of technically advanced, yet resourceless nations, had the right to utilize, if not acquire, new land. Judging from these arguments of NITOBE's, it is not totally unexpected that he later defended Japanese invasion of Manchuria, though we must take into account the fact that in 1930s he was unable to express openly his inner thoughts.
