Japan today is in much the predicament Britain

For years. Britain stood lonely baStOn against
the swrling tide of Nazsm Now, nine years later and
half way around the world, Japan stands as democ-
racys outpost in Asia inundated with Communism.
There is an old saying, AS Japan goes, so goes Asia
General Douglas Macarthur has long been convinced
that old legend be for democracy for to-
taitariansm He has often talked about the job of de-
mocratization done by the y. S. in Japan mile
stone in the march OF man.. Again and again, he has
emphasized to policy makers IN Washington that we
cannot abandon Asia to communism any more than we
would think of abandoning Europe to communism. At
the time he has been searching for way in which
the japanese grasp democracy in the heart we'll
as the head.
IT, S. democracy attractive but elusive It quoted one
politician who said 1--WE explain the theory of de-
mocracy and make laws about it. But to feel it,
that is the big jump
In to this problem certain Japanese leaders
have initiated train themselves in the ideas
of democracy. A japanese nobeman, descended from
long line of feudal lords found new humility through
working with his hands. communist leader cleaning

to take action. United Press dispatch from Tokyo
May II stated that Katayama, former japanese Pre-
mer and now head of the Social Democratic Party will
lead delegation of prominent japanese to the World
Convention of the Moral Re-Armament Movement" be-
ing held in Caux, Switzerland. This move, together
with news that Japans largest paper, "Mainch has
invited Moral Disarmament task force to Japan, is
encouraging evidence of Japans desire to bridge the
gap between theory and feeling. If we back Japanese
efforts like this it may still be true that as Japan goes
