Well, the German problem is a completely and entirely different one from the Japanese problem. The German people were a mature race.
さあ, ドイツ問題は日本問題とは完全に他の問題です. ドイツ人々は成熟した人種だった.
If the Anglo-Saxon was say 45 years of age in his development, in the sciences, the arts, divinity, culture, the Germans were quite as mature.
アングロサクリンが科学, 芸術, 神学, 文化において 45歳と言ったら, 独逸人はまったく同じく成熟しました.
The Japanese, however, in spite of their antiquity measured by time, were in a very tuitionary condition. Measured by the standards of modern civilization, they would be like a boy of 12 as compared with our development of 45 years.
しかし日本人たちは歴史が古かったにもかかわらず教えることを受けなければならない状況にありました. 現代文明を基準にしたらうちの(アングロサクリン)が 45歳の年齢に至ったことと比べて日本人は 12歳の少年の同じです.
Like any tuitionary period, they were susceptible to following new models, new ideas. You can implant basic concepts there. They were still close enough to origin to be elastic and acceptable to new concepts.
他のどんな教えることを受ける間と同じく彼らは新しいモデルに影響を受けやすくて基本的な概念を植えてくれることができます. 彼らは新しい概念を受け入れることができるほどに白紙に近くて柔軟性もありました.
The German was quite as mature as we ware. Whatever the German did in dereliction of the standards of modern morality, the international standards, he did deliberately.
独逸人は私たちが分かっていることのようにかなり成熟した. 独逸人たちが現代道徳の基準, すなわち国際基準を捨てて何をしたといっても間に, 独逸人は故意的にした.
He didn"t do it because of a lack of knowledge of the world. He didn"t do it because he stumbled into it to some extent as the Japanese did. He did it as a considered policy in which he believed in his own military might, in which he believed that its application would be a short cut to the power and economic domination that he desired.
独逸人は世の中に対する知識が不足でそれをしなかった. 独逸人は日本人たちがそうだったようにどの位偶然に出会ったからそれをしなかった. ドイツ自分の軍事力を使うのが彼らが希望した権力と経済支配への近道だと思って深思熟考した後に軍事力を行使したのです.
Now you are not going to change the German nature. He will come back to the path that he believes is correct by the pressure of public opinion, by the pressure of world philosophies, by his own interests and many other reasons, and he, in my belief, will develop his own Germanic tribe along the lines that he himself believes in which do not in many basic ways differ from our own.
もうあなたはドイツの本性を変えないだろう. 独逸人は世論の圧力, 世界哲学の圧力, 自分の利益と違う多くの理由たちによって正しいと信じる道に帰って来るはずで, 彼は私の考えに, 多い基本的な面で私たちと違わない, その自分が信じる路線に沿って自分のゲルマン民族を発展させるでしょう.
But the Japanese were entirely different. There is no similarity.One of the great mistakes that was made was to t ry to apply the same policies which were so successful in Japan to Germany, where they were not quite so successful,to say the least.
しかし日本人たちは完全に違った. 類似点はない.最大の間違いの中で一つは日本で成功した政策をドイツにも適用しようと思ったのです. ドイツではあまり成功的ではなかったです.
They were working on a different level.
独逸人は他のレベルで活動したからです.

==============================
自治を与えれば正しい道を歩く = ドイツ
自治を与えれば結局 12歳になる = ニッポン
ニッポンが根源的にダメである理由は文明の成熟度が 12歳だからだ.
