JAPANESE GOALS

THE first goal of the Japanese is to rebuild their country economically. Most of them seem to realise that as a political Power they are finished, or at least their resurgence is in the distant future. To return their country to some economic and industrial stability the Japanese are reckoning upon a number of favourable elements. Foremost of these is that despite the damages of war their physical plant remains capable of a reasonably good level of production once they the permitted to use it. Second is that they ended the with with a considerable stockpile of raw materials which they were unable to use. Another is the abundance of cheap labour available among a people accustomed for centuries to a low standard of living. A fourth is their confidence, Warranted or not, that the conquerors will nurse them along —perhaps even give financial aid—until they are once more able to stand .alone. They think by that time the Americans will weary of playing empire and go home.—Wall Street Journal correspondent in Japan.
