Treaty Will Make Allies of
Former Enemies, Japan, U.S.
By ARNOLD DIBBLE
Tokyo -(UPD- Japan signs a
new-era treaty with the Unit
ed States today which once
again will give this nation a
powerful voice in the grand
military strategy in Asia.
Fourteen years and 159
days after she finally gave in
to her hopeless agony and sur
rendered to end World War
II, Japan and the United
States will become allies.
The signing of the new se
curity pact will take place
against a rising din of opposi
tion by left-wing Socialists,
Communists and their fellow
travelers, but the sound and
fury is all out of proportion
to the feelings of the average
'Japanese which have backed
the pro-Western government
'of Premier Nobusuke Kishi
by two-thirds of their votes
in all elections since he came
to power.
Japan, at last, will be
equal.
Enleri "Big Time"
In winning its status of
equality, Japan is like a poor
man who worked hard enough
and saved diligently enough
to enter the poker game with
the big boys.
Sure, Japan has had help.
But it couldn't have become
one of the four major indus
trial complexes of the world
without the hard work and
diligence of its workmen and
its artisans.
. Fourteen years ago Japan
was so shell-shocked and
stunned it not only didn't
know where to move; it didn't
know how. The country was
in ruins. Tokyo, its once mag
nificent capital was 80 per
cent destroyed. Transport of
all kinds just wasn't there.
The people were so hungry,
they had eaten most of the
cats and dogs and some were
starting on rats. . . . .
Today, this nation of 93
million crammed into four
main islands equalling the
size of the state of Montana
only one-sixth of it good for
growing food - produced $28
billion worth of goods and
services in the last fiscal year.
Show In People
But more than figures, it
was the people. The people
who once walked the streets
willy-nilly in ragged old mili
tary uniforms now were well-
dressed and they walked as
if they were going some place
And indeed they were.
Japan had become the sixth
largest steel producer in the
world from 557,000 tons in
1946 to 13 million tons' last
year. This, despite the - fact
that 60-70 per cent of its pig
iron, 40-45 per cent of its cok
ing coal, 20-30 per cent of its
iron scrap must be imported
from abroad. . .
It has become the world's
biggest shipbuilder from
650,000 tons to over three
million tons today built in
some two-score major ship
yards.
Today, the Japanese annual
wage is $275 per capita. It's
small by American standards
of more than $2,000, but it's
rich by Asian standards. It's
enough to 'give most urban
households a washing ma
chine, an electric refrigerator
and a television set.
Rank High in TV'i
Japan today is one of the
great television countries of
the world. With 59 stations
and more than four-million
registered television sets, it
ranks right behind the United
States and Britain.
Tokyo has twice as many
movie theaters, too, as New
York.
And the people are well
fed - by Asian standards at
least.
One of the miracles of the
postwar age and an ironical
defeat for the Communists -has
been the increase in the
production of rice, the staple
of the Japanese diet.
When land reform was Dro-
posed right after the war, I
many American agricultural
experts thought that piece
mealing the land into small
plots and individual owners
would wreck what efficiency
their was. The Communists
yelled for the reform which
was put into effect.
Record Ric Crop
Today, the average Japan
ese farmer, tilling 2.3 acres,
has swelled a record rice crop
of 12.5 million metric tons
last year - a record.. Japan,
which produced a pitiful 5.8
million metric tons in 1945,
now grows as much rice as it
needs.
And the Japanese are bet
ter housed. Tokyo and Hiro
shima and Nagasaki - the lat
ter two the only atomic
bombed cities in the world
have been rebuilt. You'd have
to look far to find any war
damage.
Never perhaps, to para
phrase a great man, have so
many done so much with so
little in so short a time. Japan
has won its equality through
hard work, damned hard
work.

Edna B. Parents should

Gerald B.-He must make

Edna B. My husband and
I disagree about a matter se
riously affecting our oldest
son. It involves his choice of
a mate.
Bert is 35 and has never
been married or engaged. In
fact, he has gone out very
little. We had just about giv
en up hope of his getting mar
ried when he met a widow of
43 and started seeing her reg
ularly.
When he told me he was
seriously thinking about mar
riage, I was astounded. This
woman looks every bit her
age and has a grown married
son. The possibility of Bert
having a child with her is, to
say the least, very slight.
When I started to point these
things out to Bert, my hus
band told me to keep quiet.
feel parents should try to help
their children at any age -if
they don't have sense for
themselves.
- Gerald B. - I feel that at
35. our son must make his
own decisions about marriage,
I, too, would like to see him
marry a younger, prettier wo
man with whom he might
raise a family. But if he
doesn't have any better sense,
there is no use trying to talk
it into him at this stage.
Aside from this, I'm a little

afraid Bert feels we have kept
him from marriage. Twice be
fore he was interested in
young women, but we object
ed because they were not of
our faith. Sometimes I feel
we didn't do the right thing
since our son can't easily find
girls he cares enough about
to marry. He is very reserved
and serious-minded and per
haps that is why he has chos
en an older woman.
My wife is too quick to say
everything on her mind.
Sometimes silence is best.
Th Council: We agree with
Gerald that at 35, a man can
do without parental guidance
in selecting a mate. If Bert
asked for an opinion his par
ents might give it, but other
wise we can see little point in
their sounding off.
However, Gerald is wrong
to feel guilty about his earlier
opposition to Bert's choice
When he was younger, Bert
needed and probably wanted
some advice. The fact that he
accepted it is an indication
that he either felt his parents
were right or was not ready
for marriage and wanted
them to call a halt to the re
lationship.
Both parents should recog
nize that they may not be
judging the present relation
shin correctly. They have
fairly set ideas about what
they want in marriage for
their son, but Bert is evident
ly the kind of person who
needs and wants other things.
If the desire for a family were
uppermost in his mind, obvi
ously he would make a dif
ferent choice. At 35, he can't
fail to be aware of all the im
plications of making the kind
of marriage he has chosen.
These parents ought to open
their hearts and minds to the
woman Bert has chosen. If
they judge her on her merits
rather than by some set stand
ards, they will undoubtedly
find much, in her that u
worthy of esteem. It is cer
tainly a mistake to assume
that Bert has no "sense" for
himself.

New York-(UPD-Wall Street
is having a difficult time try
ing to plot the stock market's
future.
It talks of
tight money
and high
money rates
as detrimental
to the list. At
the same time,
the experts
hold that high
money keeps
Elmer Waller people out of
bonds. And savings institu
tions report savings down.
Where then is the money going?
One hears many conflicting
reports. Inflation is said to be
threatening again with the
steel settlement leading the
way. Almost atf the same
time Washington indicates
pressures are being exerted
to keep steel prices down, the
budget in balance to the point
of a $4.2 billion surplus, and
avoid big spending.
Auto Sales Estimates
One group predicts a giant
year for the automobile busi
ness. Another wonders if the
recent glowing estimates of
auto sales may not be too
high.
Market men point out the
rosy outlook for 1960 - record
highs for production, earn
ings, and dividends as a
market stimulant. Another
group holds that this situation
has been discounted by the
market and will not be twice
discounted.

Korean Women
Given Compensation
Tongduchon, Korea - (UPD -The
two Korean prostitutes
who had their heads shaved
by American soldiers have
been paid $960 compensation
by the U.S. Army.
One, Kim Ae Soo, 38, said
Sunday s he would use the
money "to start a retail busi
ness." The other, 22-year-old
Kim Jung, did not disclose
what she intended to do with
the money.
The two prostitutes were
caught by U.S. soldiers Jan. 2
when they sneaked into the
U.S. Seventh division area to
solicit patrons. The soldiers
shaved their heads as punish
ment. Republic of Korea officials
protested the treatment and

Conaughy and United Nations

B. Magruder both apologized.
these nations are in a position
to undersell us and are talk
ing away some of our mar
kets. The steel strike settlement
is regarded as favorable " but
it is held that many compan
ies will be squeezed profit
wise because of inability to
raise prices at this time. ' -
There are said -to be few
speculative excesses in the
market at this time, but al
m o s t simultaneously comes
word that a vast amount of
recent buying in glamor is
sues has been highly specula
tive and that more is in the
making. Also speculation is
said to be building up in low
priced stocks.
Housing Down
Housing, a bulwark of
building, is reported in a de
cline because of shortage of
mortgage money and high
money rates. But other forms
of building are rising so that
overall 1960 may see another
new record high total in
building.
One thing that appears in
the market's favor with no
thing on the other side to off
set it is the fact that bull
markets do not make their
highs in January. They never
have.
As a matter of record, there
are many market experts who
foresee further attemrts of
the market to break through
