MacARTHUR COMMENDS DEMOCRATIC PROGRESS IN JAPAN
Despite War Spectre Abroad (Reuter—N.Z.P.A.) (Rec. 10.20) TOKIO, Sept. 1 “The Japanese people are doing their part well in working for a secure peace, in spite of the spectre of war that hovers over the earth,” said General MacArthur in a statement on the third anniversary of V.J. Day. “They have here, in a confused, bewildered world, a clam well-ordered society, dedicated to the sanctity of peace. Flanked by the newly-born Korean republic, and that stalwart land of Filipino patriots, Japan > now forms a sturdy pillar in a triangular buttress, exemplifying, before all the people of the east, the wisdom of the democratic concept. The establishment of the democratic concept in Japan, as sworn to by the Allied nation. aboard the U.S.S. “Missouri” in Tokio Bay three years ago, is now well advanced; but a singleness _of purpose among the nations which were represented there, no longer exists.”
