american Ideas
Clash with Reds,
Says AP Chief

SALT LAKE CITY, Aug. 24-The
Unit d States has two main inter-
ests IN Japan: the influence of Com
munism and the influence of the
American way.
This opinion was expressed by
Russell Brines. 38-year-old chief of
the Tokyo Bureau of the Associated
Press. who is in the United States
for vacation.
Brines noted that the Communist
Party in Japan is small but well
organized and ruthlessly clever" Its
influence is weak in politics but
considerable in the ranks of labor, he
said.
It is too early to tell how well
Americas effort to democratize jap
an is succeeding, according to Brines.
He pointed out, however, that there
are more marriages among Japanese
young people for love rather than
for convenience, and that political
groups are more open.
He said that Hiroshima, first city
in the world to be blasted by the
atom bomb. has been almost COM
pletely rebuilt. Its residents are
proud of this distinction, and Hiro-
shine is regarded in Japan as a
boomtoWn.

WASHINGTON. d. c., Aug. "a =
Parts of General Douglas Mac
Arthurs reports pertinent" to the
ADMINISTRATORS foreign military aid
program will be supplied to the
senate committees, it was agreed
by Secretary of Defense Louis john
son.
The committee met with johnson
behind closed doors for more than
an hour to discuss the request of
Sen. William F. Knowland (R..
Calif) who led an unsuccessful move
to bring Macarthur home from Jap
an to discuss the far eastern situa-
ton.
Knowland wanted MacArthur's
testimony to be given to the armed
services and foreign relations COM
mittees, which are holding joint
hearings on the military aid bill.
When Macarthur declined, he asked
that MacArthur's reports be pro-
vided.

Nippon Permitted
Trade Relations

WASHINGTON. ID. c., Aug. "a
Japan will be permitted to re-
sumo semi-diplomatic and trade
relations with the rest of the
world subject TO approval by Gen.
Douglas Macarthur, the U. S. De-
partment of State announced.
Revival of japanese consular SER
vices in the U. s. may be one of the
first moves aimed at dissipating
THE vestiges of hate and suspicion
left over from the war. the State
Department indicated.
Macarthur, as supreme command
er, is specifically empowered to let
Japan enter into international re-
lations, such as conventions, meet
ings, conferences, consular arrange
ments or such other bi-lateral ac-
cords as Japan may be invited to
participate in"
According to State Department
spokesman Lincoln White, there IS
nothing in the FEC record" to
keep the program from being under
taken.
He said full diplomatic recogni-
ton of Japan was not contem-
plated. This obviously is impOssi-
BILE because no peace treaty has
yet been written with Japan.
The U. S. move is designed pri-
marily to let japanese businessmen
and their agents move freely about
the world in quest of trade.

Romaji Course
Needed. Claim
Tokyo Teachers

TOKYO, Aug. 24-School teachers
in Japan have petitioned the gov
eminent to make a course in romaji
for transcribing the Japanese Ian
guage into Roman alphabet a com
pulsory one in public schools.
Tokyo teachers, az a recent con-
ference, adopted a resolution ad-
vocating the teaching. of romaji as
compulsory course in primary and
secondary schools. The resolution
was presented to the education min
istry for submission to the Diet.
The measure also calls for the
writing of textbooks in romaji fol-
subjects other than the japanese
language
Romaji as recommended in the
resolution is what is known as Nip
pom romaji which was originally de-
vised by nationalist inspired lin
gusts and is different from the
long established Hepburn system.
