The thing to remember about
Japan is that, in less than SO
years, it jumped from a feudal
society with fewer than a doz-
en- factories into a tough ma
ton that beat the shirt off
Russia; and in just about a
century into one of the most
powerful nations in the world
1t was the success of the
Japanese especially since they
started from scratch" with no
experience in global politics or
economics that made them
arrogant. That usually goes
with success-exceptional sue
cess. anyway.
Proof of their arrogance was
that they attacked America.
Had they been balanced in
their view of themselves they
would never have attacked us.
Yet they did a fantastic job
in putting up a fight that cost
us many lives and many bill
lions. of dollars before we beat
them.
All Possessions Lost
The fact that we did beat
them was a terrible shock to
the Japanese. We took away
all their possessions. What we
didn't take away we gave to
Russia: Manchuria, the Kurile
Islands, and mineral-rich SAX
halin. Korea was given its in
dependence, Taiwan went back
to China after decades of Japa-
nese development there, and
the Pacific islands were taken
over by us technically under
a United Nations trust arrange
ment).
All the overseas Japanese
were shipped back to their
home islands and overcrowded
Japan became still more over
crowded. There are today at
least SO million people (some
informed persons have insisted
to me that the figure actually
is 100 million) in Japan, a
with less square mile
age than California and there
are only 16 million people in
the State Of California. And we
think we are overcrowded there.
What's more, IS per cent of
Japan is mountainous, so that
nearly all the people live and
work in is per cent of the land
area. Now that's what I call
overcrowding.\

that neither party wants to see

The debate reached a dra-

to lead the fight against a last
minute effort by another lead

Administration leaders were
counting today on the big vote
they piled up in the Senate
last night in favor of the U. N.
loan bill to help get it through
the House.
The bipartisan compromise
giving President Kennedy au-
thority to lend the world organi-

the Senate, 70 to %.
The compromise also leaves
him free to buy the 25-year
u. N. bonds at 2 per cent, or
make a straight loan for a
shorter time at different rates
of interest.
In an impressive display of
unity on foreign policy, 48 of
the 81 Democrats and % of the

give the compromise over

NEW YORK, April 6. - "I

car with a rear seat which moves
out and up behind the car; a prober
pill that will flash reports on a
screen as it rolls through a persons
innards. Medically the writer's can

The dominating influence will, of

a raincoat on the boy. If she pushes
the wrong button for him, Elroy will
soon return, marked Reject.
