12 April (Extra)

I am worried that anti-Japan movement may increase in China or South Korea.

If it sees earnestly in the position of China or South Korea,

it is clear that sincerity of Japan etc. is not felt and I can understand their anger.

(Japanese people think that they are having to have various discussions on this incident)

It is "Japan should make a relation with the neighboring country good,

before aiming at the permanent member of the Security Council of the United Nations"

so that Secretary-General Annan of the United Nations may say.

It will be said that international relations will be improved how as a permanent member of the Security Council, without making even it.

If it sees from a foreign country, an attitude (hope containing a permanent member of the Security Council) of Japan will say,

"Send the voice in the United Nations because Japan has outlaid gold for the American next."

However, neither respect nor love can be incurred withFri.

The bureaucrat and the politician do not understand the size of influence in the mental side of such the public of each country.

If the modern Japanese history of Showa is studied,

there will be no discernment of philosophy or the international situation in a Japanese indicator,

and only what "is attached to a strong thing" will become precocious by carrying out. Pushing on recklessly with the narrow view,

and doing damage to a circumference country and its own country profit, the reflection and the apology to the act can be carried out,

and historical teachings have not been obtained.

It is the capability although I think that you may have confidence in the power

which has acquired European and American science and industrial technology promptly by the dexterity of earnest and a hand in Asia.

The capability which imagines "the future image of better human society" to the international society where the race from

which culture and environment differ mixes in confusion, and can be proposed and performed to it is another.

when the policy and utterance of Japan of these days are seen, while regrettable -- Japanese bureaucrat and politician --

therefore, required It does not seem at all to have the insight to the diversity of man's worth,

and the thought and capability to invent the wisdom to coexistence. In reviving Japan,

many persons concerned with war in a central part had to be appointed as a result from the shortage of talented people after defeat.

Therefore, even if reflection by the center of Japan itself becomes difficult and becomes when,

only the directivity which glorifies the past "that war was not wrong" comes out.

And full-scale revival has the circumstances promoted when the United States thought Japan

as important as a defensive line of the opposite east side according to aggravation of cold war structure. Under such the social situation,

Japan regards having lost the opportunity obtaining the reflection and teachings to Greater East Asia War as it being necessary to improve.

In greeting an aging society, a young man's minority-izing and lack of ability are also serious.

If man ages and becomes hard to see about a dream at the possibility to the future,

I feel that the tendency for the past to surely be glorified and to see the dream in the past becomes strong.

Reduction of a sphere of activity to a view also tends to become narrow. If this tendency is spreading in the whole country,

it will be apprehensive. It does not accumulate in having assembled the former past prime minister of advanced age,

and the constitution and a foreign policy having been decided by extension of the feeling.

If it has a more candid way of speaking, the economy of present Japan will not be realized without existence of the China market.

I regard the cheap central part which repeats the policy without substance and utterance of "maintaining face" to the country as

it not being left any more on national interest.

Although only a centralization-of-power type will be imagined in Japan if it is called <<organization>>, now,

I think that an excellent human being's capability is unutilizable as an organization.

(Moreover, it is easy to do the decomposition and stiffness of privatizing an inside by the authority self-preservation person etc.)

If a politician's work is not shifted to the organism system as an individual individual's active group, either,

With the character of only last time a center and being only easy headquarters in which a belief of the boss of a meeting is passed

by <<great numbers it is decided by loud voice and gathering-votes power that things will be Even the directivity of a country

in international society will be decided.

(= national interest for which the talented people by whom the world can be seen more are not utilized is damaged)

I regard making work of a politician and a bureaucrat transparent, it carrying out information disclosure,

inspecting, and building the power to dismiss by vote etc. as the time when a merit system should be introduced coming just to them.

In order that I may think that it is the biggest problem of this country that he is the society

which what should be improved cannot improve, such an opinion is expressed though presumptuous.
