Japan's farm power as a model for American nation building
The article argues that Japan's strength comes from a rural, garden society and insists the United States should mirror this by settling citizens on small farm plots, training children in gardening and handicraft in public schools, and expanding irrigation. It warns against overemphasis on battleships and urges rapid population movement to the land to secure lasting national power.
