Conclusion (cont’d)
Even if they are tolerated, it is reasonable to eradicate them as they are among the greatest obstacles for the development of Japanese straight businesses. At least, at each occasion where we think their power must be diminished, we should impose great sanctions on their bodies.
Even if we present our view to the city authority, the very people who tolerate prostitution, I think they would simply give us a bitter smile and do nothing about it. They are the people who are supposed to, or actually should, assist us with achieving our will. I do not have any obligation to accept something that creates a hundred harms and no benefit. Let me exaggerate and arrive at issues of the prestige of the Empire and its great plan for the future. When we identify molesters, who secretly wriggle in the interior and communicate with each other to strengthen their dirty ugliness and who cause harm to the path of progress of the Japanese, it is the most important, though easily neglected, to act to shake their foundation, immediately strategize to eliminate the root of evil, or at least to let people’s hopes echo in the devil’s ears and carry out a policy to suppress their blind behaviour. This series is absolutely not sterile writing that encourages obscene songs and dances to pure children of humanity. What it attempts to do is to call on devil molesters to reflect on themselves. If they are still equipped with the conscience to respond to the call and reflect on themselves there is a string of hope, but the well-known fact is that their conscience has already been paralyzed. If they still had a piece of conscience, why would they act ugly and poison young lives out of thirst for easy money, while harming the reputation of their fellows?
The series ends today but the spirit out of which I wrote this series is an expression of part of the belief that this newspaper holds; and this expression explains my attitude that should be maintained forever with the newspaper as long as it exists.
There are still more materials to be covered on my desk. In addition, there are organizations in every part of the interior that would provide us with reliable information about new facts, only if we send them a letter. However, seventy installments are not short for a series and there are other important articles in our hands, so I would like to conclude Exploration of Devil Cave here for now. (The End)
