The attached commentary by Nagashima Ryūji 長島隆二 on Itō Chūta's sketch titled "Japan, Viewed with Jealousy by the Powers" (日本列國より嫉視さる) appears to begin with the phrase 我國二對スル列國嫉視, which can roughly be translated into "the jealous hostility of the other powers toward our country..." Transcription of the Nagashima's entire commentary would be much appreciated.
With continued appreciation for your help. Irwin

日本列國より嫉視さる
我國二對スル列國嫉視ノ形成ハ米支両國ノ態度ニ於テ共ノ極ニ達シタ此ノ形成ヲ一轉スル途ニ我自ラノ心理竝形式シ一新スルノミデス。
長島隆二

Japan, Viewed with Jealousy by the Powers
The jealousy felt by other nations toward our country has reached its peak due to the attitudes of both the United States and China; the only way to reverse this situation is to completely renew our own mindset and practices.
Nagashima Ryūji
