Possible Japanese Rearmament
TOKIO, Sept. 5 Speculation that Japan would be permitted to re-arm if the international situation continued to worsen has increased in Tokio as a result of General MacArthur’s recent statement -that the country had become “an aset upon which the free world may confidently count.” Commenting on General MacArthur’s statement the newspaper Chuka Nippon, said that although Japan’s existence might be considered the stronghold for the peace of the Orient it was a matter of course that the use of its military potentiality should be limited to emergency cases. The newspaper, Shin Yuka, said, it could well be foreseen that political trouble would occur as soon as occupation forces withdrew.
