JAPAN'S STUNNING 1932 GUIDE FOR DOMINATION OF ASIA . . . AND THE WORLD . * This work is based on the famous "TANAKA MEMORIAL," with commentaries by Victor Rine. This is just one of many variant ideas of who wrote the memorial, and what it is about. . The "Wandering Eye" was a group of journalists publishing books "that may not be published through other media." . *** WHO WAS VICTOR RINE: [1884-] Rine was an 'historical fiction' writer. He had a great imagination and a tendency to 'sensationalism.' This is one of his more 'excited' essays. Herein, he declares how he [Rine] proves the "TANAKA MEMORIAL" is genuine. . The ruthless Japanese scheme of conquest laid out by then Premier Baron Tanaka Giichi [1863-1929] [aka. Josobun]. .

Where Japan has failed to learn from China. . A fascinating documentary work. . *** "THE TANAKA MEMORIAL" is an alleged Japanese strategic planning document from 1927, in which Prime Minister Baron Tanaka Giichi [1863-1929] laid out for Emperor Hirohito a strategy to take over the world. . Regardless of speculation this document struck fear in the hearts of Asian and S.E. Asian leaders during this time. . *** SPECULATION OF THE DOCUMENT BEING A FORGERY: [Per Wikipedia below]: . "In the summer of 1927 (June 27 -July 7, Tanaka convened a "Far East Conference" with members of the Japanese Foreign Ministry, Army Ministry, Navy Ministry, and Finance Ministry. However, instead of producing a master plan for world domination, the result of the Conference was a rough consensus that Japan should support the Kuomintang government of China against the Chinese communists, as long as the Japanese could convince General Zhang Zuolin to consolidate his base in a virtually autonomous Manchuria, which would serve as a buffer state, and would fall eventually within Japanese domination. It is alleged that the "TANAKA MEMORIAL" was a secret report of this Conference. . When the Allies searched for incriminating documents to support war crime charges following the surrender of Japan, no drafts or copies of anything corresponding to the "Tanaka Memorial" appeared among them, a Japanese language "original" has never been produced despite extensive research efforts. . The origin of the Memorial is still in question. Because the initial edition of the Memorial was in Chinese, some Japanese historians have attributed it to Chinese sources, probably either Chinese Nationalists or Chinese Communists. . There have been claims of forgery by the Soviet Union to encourage war between China and Japan, and so to advance Soviet interests. The two theories are not mutually exclusive, as the Chinese Communist Party was a branch of COMINTERN under control of the Soviet Union, and Soviet policy from the 1930s was to wage a propaganda war against Japanese expansionism. Also, the first translation of the Memorial into English was done by the Communist Party USA and published in the December 1931 issue of Communist International magazine. It was later re-printed in book format. . In 1939, Peter Fleming claimed to have produced an 'update' to the "Tanaka Memorial," by writing an imaginary report on a secret Allied strategy conference attended by Kuomintang leader Chiang Kai-Shek, and having it leaked to the Japanese. This indicates that the "Tanaka Memorial" was known to be a forgery by the British prior to World War II. . *** Per Wikipedia [see below], the controversy continues with: .
