Fate of China Firmly Touched by Tokyo Foreign Minister

Ambassador Joseph Grew rebutted claims that China’s fate is mainly American sentiment, stressing U.S. interests in China are concrete, not sentimental. Admiral Nomura called for calmer ties and peace between Japan and the United States amid rising tensions in Europe.

Origin and advocates of a single tax idea
The questions ask about the origin and chief advocate of a single tax in the country, along with the main objections and the concept of the unearned increment value. The aim is to identify the genesis of the single tax, its proponents, criticisms, and the meaning of unearned increment.
The Single Tax Debate in England France and America
The text discusses the historical push for a single tax in England and France to burden the landholding privileged class. It notes Henry George as a leading advocate in America proposing a land tax, critiques its elasticity, and explains the unearned increment arising from land value rises without owner effort. It argues such a tax would violate equality and universality in taxation.
