Assembly Suggestions... (Continued from pnfjc 1) which he Raid arc building a bridge between the East and Went. Me Raid the two countries are involved in a "Pacific partnership" based on mutual self interest. I he Japanese statesman said his country is determined to play an increasingly effective role in developing Asian nations along democratic lines Referring to U S. Japanese relations, Shi manouchi said there are differences over Viet Nam and Red China, but urged the audience to remember that Japan -as well as the United States—is a "free society, made up of groups with many varying views.” U S Senator Wayne Morse (I)-Ore.) was the third major speaker, as he met with the partici pants of the Assembly Saturday night. Morse said that the US. Could expect “lip service" from Japan, "but little else,” in support of the war in V'iet Nam. However, he said that the major political party in Japan generally supported U S. policy and said he was encouraged by the expanding markets in Japan for Northwest food produce. Summing up their recommendations Sunday morning after three days of discussion, the Assembly participants recognized Japan’s post war resurgence as "one of the most remarkable national achievements by any nation in this period.” The participants further noted the importance of keeping the present co-operative relationship for both Japan and the U S. Communist China. American military bases In and near Japan, and the Viet Nam war were cited as possible friction points between the two nations. The participants in the Assembly concluded that the US must maintain her bases in the hom<! islands of Japan and in the Ryukyus "for as long as such facilities seem necessary for the most effective defense of free societies of the Pacific basin.” They also recommended that the U S. should have the following objectives, regarding the Security Treaty with Japan, which will be re viewed in 1970: • Satisfying the total strategic requirements of the United States; • Contributing to the maintenance of inter national peace and security through the United Nations’ security arrangements; and • Minimizing the adverse political repercus sions of the security issue in Japan and else where. Finally, the Assembly participants suggested that existing cultural relations between Japan and the U S “can be furthered best by placing emphasis on people-to-peoplc programs in both countries.” John Cange, director of the Pacific Northwest Assembly and director of the University’s Insti tute of International Studies, said he had partici pated in eight such assemblies before, and that “this was one of the best.” Among guests at the Assembly was Bill Sel don, vice president of the American Assembly, i who praised the weekend participants in the : Assembly. The Pacific Northwest Assembly is one of the 1 regional discussion sessions of the American Assembly, which was formed by former President . Dwight Eisenhower, when he was president of Columbia University. University President Arthur S. Flemming, who presided during the final session, concluded the Assembly by saying: “As a university, we’ve been thrilled to lie involved in this kind of process; we believe we’re helping to perform and carry out the mission of a university.” i Morse Views Japan...

Japanese relations despite the potential problems, because "of the great potential markets of our West Coast busi ness, especially for food and food products. "Japanese has become the largest single market for cash sales of American wheat,” Morse said. He praised the Oregon Wheat League for "its remarkable job' in introducing wheat pro ducts to the Japanese. Morse also noted that Japan is the only major Asian coun try that is supporting Ameri can efforts m Viet Nam, but he described their support "as one of lip service. Supports I'.S. "No one in the Liberal Dem ocratic Party i Japan's most powerful political party) ever seemed to think Japan should involve itself in Viet Nam in any way whatever . . . and they constituted the firmest cle ment of support of our efforts in Viet Nam we encountered on our trip.” Morse said the LDP "express ed the view that the conflict in Viet Nam is a contact point between fundamentally differ ent social philosophies and that a United States, withdrawal at this time would not lead to peace, but rather to an expan Interview...

Against Vaughn Appointment The longtime senator from Oregon also had some harsh words regarding President Lyn don Johnson’s appointment of Jack Vaughn as head of the Peace Corps. “Jack Vaughn is the most in competent assistant secretary for Latin American affairs we’ve ever had,” Morse said. “Ilis advice was bad in the Dominican Republic, in Cuba, Guatemala, Honduras, and Ar gentina . . . and everywhere else,” he said. "I’m probably the only per son who will vote against his appointment next week," Morse said, “but I’m not the only person on the Committee (For eign Relations) who feels that way.” sion of the war. "The majority party wished us well, hoped the war would end soon, but they were afraid of a war with China AH of the Asian countries arc afraid of a war with China,” Morse ob served. Badly Split “Even the majority party is badly split on this issue,” he said, adding that other parties are strongly against the U.S. policy. He explained that the Japa nese Socialist Party (JSP), the principle opposition party to the LDP, is "severely critical” of American foreign policy in Viet Nam. Morse quoted members of the JSP, pointing out their oppo sition to U.S. intervention in Viet Nam: “All Ho Chi Minh wants is a neutralized peninsula. The Vietnamese are expressing basic dissatisfactions and are not inspired by Communist propaganda. The United States has an over-sensitivity about its responsibility for peace in the area.” He said the third major party in Japan, the Democratic So cialist Party, “believes that the United States’ effort to oppose communism by military means, as in Viet Nam, is doomed to failure and that Japan should, develop political methods to op pose communism.” No Official Meeting Morse said he did not meet5 offcially with members of Ja pan's Communist Party because it might have embarrassed the U S. government. Morse concluded his speech with an admonition for all U.S. citizens, claiming that “the peo ple aren’t doing their job; they aren’t keeping informed” on such issues as Viet Nam. He said that people “should pay no attention to politicians' 1 speeches—not even the speech! tonight—unless the politicians | are willing to match their vot-! ing record with their talk. “Politicians being what they are, it’s the people’s responsi bility to pay close attention to the voting records” of their elected officials. Roy E. Lieuallen, chancellor of the State System of Higher Education, introduced Morse, praising him as a “friend of edu cation," and as “a man who exer cises independent judgment based on understanding and knowledge.” Architect to Speak In Lecture Series Garrett Eckbo, one of the well known landscape architects in the country, will be the fifth "What’s Wrong with the City” lecturer at 12:30 p.m. today at the Thunder bird Motel on Coburg Road.
