Nevertheless, when the greedy flames of war inexorably spread in the Pacific following the perfidious attack on Pearl Harbor, Malaya and lands in and around China Sea and one after another of these places fell, the pendulum swung to the other extreme.
Doubts and fears lifted their ugly heads and the world began to think that the Japanese were Nietzschean Supermen, superior in intellect and physical prowess.
A belief which the Gobineau's and the Houston Chamberlain's and their ex-pupils, the Nazi racists had propounded about the Nordics.
Again, now the prevailing opinion seems to consider the defeat of the Japanese as of relative unimportance and that Hitler is our first concern.
This is not borne out by actual facts. Nor is it to the interest of the United Nations as a whole to allow Japan to continue not only as a vital potential threat but as a waiting sword of Damocles ready to descend at movements' notice."
