Japan, Military Phoenix Out Of the Ashes
Problems Fuce Tokyo
In Rebuilding Army

to the Japanese that military secur-
ity aid from the United States may
require an expansion of the National
Safety Corps, this appears almost
inevitable.
Already the political fires are being
stocked by Japanese opposition forces.
There are cries from the rightist
and leftist Socialist Parties and, of
course, the Communists, that Yo-
shida is deliberately subverting the
constitution by seeking American
military aid.
The United States is making it
known to the japanese government
that if Japan does undertake a
strengthening Of its military poten-
tial, this government will look with
favor upon expanding off-shore
procurement programs in Japan.
Of-shore procurement is simply the
purchase for dollars of military
equipment abroad.
If an MSA agreement were con-
cluded, it is estimated that off-shore
procurement in Japan could jump
from $40 million for fiscal 1853 to
possibly more than $100 million in
fiscal 1854 tempting pot of dol
lars for Japan's nervous economy.
Chino Trode Angle
One factor which is certainly not
being stressed publicly in current
Mutual Security talks with Japan
is that recipient countries are re-
stricted, under the Battle Act, from
trading in wide list of strategic
and SemiStrategic goods with Com
munist countries. Japan has been
second only to the United States and
Canada in restricting trade with
Communist China. But for the past
year there has been a rising tide of
pressure among japanese business
men to lower the restrictive bars
with Chinese mainland Communists.
Non-defense industries in Japan
are not happy, of course, with the
prospect for a prolonged embargo
on trade with China. It is to help
make up for the continued loss of
trade with China, which once
amounted to some 20 per cent of
total Japanese exports. that the
United States is willing to be ex-
panSive in off-shore procurement
programs for Japan.
How quickly a final result may
be reached between Japanese and
United States negotiators on a mill
tary security pact is somewhat de-
batable. 1t is felt among informed
circles, however, that since Yoshida
has decided to move, the United
States will try to act quickly to
reach a mutually agreeable decision.
On September 2, 1945, japanese
leaders signed surrender document
aboard the battleship Missouri in
Tokyo Bay.
BY September 2. 1858, Japan and
the United States may have signed
another ocument-American mill
tary aid to Japan whose strength
is vital for maintaining the freedom
that remains in Asia.

ther reduced the capacity of the
land to withstand the normally dry
feature of the climate.
Later, during the 1920s, danger
signs developed:
. Overstocking of the range.
. Expansion of farming into areas
not suited to farming.
. Overexpansion of wheat pro-
duction.
. Improper planning for land use
in relation to water resources.
Dust Storms of the '30s
BY 1880, the land was ripe for
disaster. It came in the form Of
dust storms, which carried away
vital topsoil.
After the dust settled, the Gov

this amount Of leeway put great
deal of reliance on the competence
of the local American librarian.
Perhaps this reliance sometimes
was misplaced. A librarian in Korea
once told this reporter: THE fiscal
year is about to end, so I just
ordered $1,000 worth of books to
use up our money. wish knew
what's in the books I ordered"
Accent on Culture
Until 194S the libraries bought
only factual books. In 1948, how
ever. the Soviet Union was crying
that the United States was a cap
italist country without culture. Tho
propaganda was hurting. So num-
Der OF libraries overseas asked Wash.
ington for books representing the
best in American fiction.
Washington started putting fic-
ton stories in its packets. These
included "The Thin Man" and "The
Maltese Falcon" among the most
popular of American detective stor.
les. The tales were by Dashien Ham
NETT, long identified as left-winger.
Early this year, the State Depart
ment started getting advance re-
view copies from publishers. These
were complimentary" as the trade
says. The department cleared suit
able books and authorized libraries
to order directly through New York
purchasing Office. This scheme was
intended to speed deliveries and
keep overseas libraries more up-to-
date. Apparently this plan never
went into effect.
Most people who have watched
the program feel considerable au-
thority must be left with the Ameri-
can librarian on the scene, not only
to select what Is needed in the area.
but to screen out what might be
booby-traps for Americans in that
particular area.

in spite of a constitutional ban
proposed by Gen. Macarthur as
supreme commander of the occupa-
tion-against waging war. For
months the government of Prime
Minister Yoshida wrestled with the
hot political issue of rearming while
this constitutional provision is still
in effect.
Last week Yoshida made his deci-
sion. After an exchange of notes
between the United States and ia
pan on what mutual security pro-
gram does and does not mean, the
Government in Tokyo asked Wash
ington to confer about extending
military aid to Japan without a
constitutional revision.
1t may be this will be Yoshida's
last act as a politician. Many pre-
dict that If his government signs
military assistance program with
the United States it will topple next
fall.
What the United States proposes
as military aid to Japan can be seen
from the authorization asked of
Congress by the administration for
military assistance roughly $110
million for fiscal 1854. OF this
money. it is estimated about IS per
cent will be for "end-itemS"-i.e.,
guns and ammunition and other
finished weapons The remainder
will be used for troop training and
to pay transportation costs of send
ing finished goods to Japan. Secre-
tary of State Dulles says this lays
the groundwork for a 10-division
Japanese defense force.
While Prime Minister Yoshida has
made no commitment to indicate

would be taken as blasphemy by
MoSlems. The magazine, of course,
was circulated in other areas with
out offense.
The Far East and Eastern Europe
have shown keenest interest in
technical books.
Western Europe. on the other
hand. favors fiction. A big exception
is Italy, where medical books are its
most valuable asset. Physicians are
potent political force in Italy, and
are lured to the library by its med.
ical section.
Communists now have closed all
United States information centers
behind the Iron Curtain. This may
be the biggest compliment the
libraries have received.
Extent Of Purges
Senator McCarthy's original charge
about 10000 Communist-au
books-he apparently means indi-
vidual volumes, not different titles
has brought various purges of tho
library shelves overseas. A New
York Times survey by its foreign
staff showed several hundred VOL
umes by 40 authors were removed
by local librarians once the issue
got hot. Now a lot of these have
been put back on the shelves. The
only firm list of books officially
banned includes Is titles.
The State Department told the
House Appropriations Committee
that 80 volumes of the Is titles were
junked. These authors were genu-
inc CommuniStS-like Ehrenburg,
Earl Browder and William z. Foster.
So far as can be learned, the
State Department did not buy any
of the books on this list. All seemed
to be gifts or inheritances.
Washington apparently has not
ordered the burning" of the
Dashiell Hammett books or similar
volumes which local librarians re-
moved from the shelves after Sem
ator McCarthy's book campaign hit
the headlines. What may come,
nobody can say.
The Brood Policy
Broad policy guidance, however,
was laid down Wednesday night by
Robert L. Johnson, who is ending a
short stay as head of the State
Departments International Infor-
nation Administration. Said DR..
Johnson: ''Basically, the yardstick
iC A f,11va Of

ticularized needs of a particular
area. Let US be vigilant and
critical, but let us also maintain
some sense of proportion" Senator
Mccarthy wants to talk to the OUT
going ia chief about this.
At this point, reaction to the So
called book burning" campaign is
divided. Some people regard 1t as
fine thing. To others it is ma
tional disgrace. And still others
notably a top book publisher-ap-
pear to look on it as national joke.

the furor is reproduced in part in

noting funny book, the publisher
invades a new field of book mer-
