Show "Will Remain A Menace" "Japan must be made to realize in every step of her long road back to acceptance among civilized civil-ized nations that a Government does not indulge in the excesses she has loosed 'in the world the last fourteen years and call it quits when her leaders have had enough." ....This is the statement of General Gen-eral Jonathan M. Wainwright, after three years and more of experience ex-perience in Japanese prison camps where he saw them "as they are with the veneer stripped off." Disclaiming r desire for personal per-sonal revenge, either for himself or his soldiers, the General said that we should treat the Japanese in full accord with civilized laws of war, but until we can be sure that a Japanese ?3 no longer "a bully with all the bully's small-ness small-ness and love of brute force to impress his authority," enjoying "inflicting pain, both mental and physical, on anyone who lacks the power to strike back," Japan will remain a danger. The General says that until we are assured that these qualities have been extinguished not simply submerged the Japanese Japa-nese nation "will remain a menace men-ace to the world." He calls attention at-tention to Japanese cunning to conceal their true nature and how quickly their brutality appears ap-pears when there is no immediate chance of retaliation. |
