THE TOKYO TRIALS
Sir,—Support for Mr Efford’s letter under this heading is afforded by the Press Association’s report in your columns to-day. The first witness for the prosecution alleged the following “crimes”:—l. Teaching young people that their nation had a divine mission to rule. 2. Putting students through field manoeuvres, bayonet drill and machine-gun instruction. 3. Inculcating ultra-nationalism and militarism. 4 Teaching fanatical devotion to their country If these are crimes, what a fine list of criminals could be compiled in Britain and New Zealand! Crime No. 1 almost suggests that a free translation of “Rule, Britannia” is sung in Japan.—Yours, etc., ■ . . F. N. TAYLOR. 'Kaiapoi, June 19, 1946.
