CONCERN FOR FUTURE
JAPANESE COUNTRY PRESS Japan’s rural and small-town prefectural dwellers are distressed over the nation’s political turmoil and apprehensive about its economic future. A review of the prefectural press shows that politics and economics dominate the thinking of editors, who are believed to mirror the views of their country readers. Many of these papers insist on cooperation among Government leaders and an increased interest in national affairs among the people. The Ishikawa Shimbun of Kanazawa, deploring apathy toward the nation’s major problems, asserts that “a thousand Cabinet shakeups” ■would mean nothing in the absence of public interest. . Many smaller newspapers are gloomy about the country’s economic future and dwell darkly upon raw material shortages, inflation and labour.
