Through the process of constructing colonial administrations in Taiwan and Karahuto, this paper aims at clarifying the considerations of Hara Takashi in establishing and realizing his extensionism of Japanese Proper. These considerations included the local situations of the colonies and the power struggle of different policy factions. Through this investigation, re-examines the colonia policy of Japan after the Russo-Japanese War. In the case of Taiwan, Hara had proposed extensionism after the end of the Sino-Japanese War. Yet, he could not alter the long-standing structure in Japanese Taiwan rule, which was controlled jointly by the Governor-General's Office of Taiwan, the Choshubatsu, and indirectly supported by the political parties in the Diet. After the Russo-Japanese War, Hara attempted to use the armed resistance of the Han-Chinese as a political weapon to legitimize his proposal of the Cabinet-based ordinance-making authority (敕令). The same reasoning had been used in establishing the law-making authority of the Taiwan Governor-General(總督制定律令權) and the governor-general's appointment from miltary personnel Consequently, extensionism did not come into the political arena. On Karahuto after the Russo-Japanese War, both Hara and Terauchi Masatake, the Minister of the Army, agreed that the locale had only a small population and no rebellion. That raised the chance of political compromise. Consequently, the advocate of extending laws of the Japanese Proper was accepted. Meanwhile, preserved the possibility of a civilian official to head the government of the Karahuto Prefecture. In short, to Japan, the post-Russo-Japanese War Karahuto, unlike Taiwan as a colony of alien races in armed resistance, was a barren land of sparse population for development, and the best experiment laboratory for extensionism. |
