America's Task In Jap Homeland May Require Three To Five Years fEdltor's Note: Glenn Babb, ! foreign editor of The Associated . the Orient, to study conditions 5 under amea occupation, oaoo $ went from Asia to New York in 1035 after long service In North I China and as cniei ot Dureau in I Tokyo. This Is the first of three ill articles In which he discusses the '1 occupation or japan alter con- ferences with General MacAr- 1 thur, Premier Shidehara and I other high American and Japa nese officials.) ' By GLENN BABB TOKYO. Nov. 8 ( Amer ica's tremendous task In Japan . possibly can be fulfilled within three to five years, with an oc cupying force of approximately 200,000 men. That is the expressed opinion of many of the men here who . should Know oesi, provided tne ! nresent rate of rjrocress is main- j tained and there are no drastic changes In policies given occupy 2'ing authorities. There is confidence here that " within such a period militarism 2 can be eradicated, a reasonable 2 facsimile of democracy planted 3 and a restricted measure of eco 5 nomic well-being restored. Then, f according to this view, American l and other allied armies can be withdrawn, possibly to be re t. placed by some other form of J! control, with confidence that p Japan will be a useful member ft of the family of nations with no 5 desire or power to make war ? again. f Talks With Leaders i, This picture , was developed ! from talks with the highest lead. j ers of both Americans and Jap- auese. j lie coiuiaeiice expressed is perhaps more American than Japanese; were are many Japa nese who view the future darkly. A few express the hope that American occupation will last many years, regarding it as a shield against further disaster. General MacArthur and his staff were among those with, whom I discussed Japan s future, but the general would not per-, mit his conversation to be quoted ; and he is in no way responsible - for the statements made herein. ' My talks with Premier Shide i hara and members of his cabinet i contribute to these conclusions. MacArthur is known to be j content with the progress of his ' program of demilitarization and ' democratization. s In public statements, the 'su i 'preme allied commander has ex : pressed confidence that an occu- .pation force of 200,000 for both Japan and Korea will be suffi . cient after' next spring if no un .told developments -occur. He ''has emphasized the completeness of Japan's defeat and humilia tion and the destruction of her ability to make war.

The initial occupation was completely bloodless; there have been no subsequent in stances of revolt against Ameri can control. There is no evi dence of any underground in the making. But, those who believe in a relatively short occupation emphasize that one which ex tends beyond five years will bring new dangers. Either the Japanese will become complete ly dependent on the Americans or resentment against alien rule will have time to flower into open rebellion. Changes decreed by MacAr thur have bestowed on the Japa nese people freedoms they do not yet fully understand how to use. producing a state of flux from which vast changes in the Japanese way of life inevitably must come. The nature of these changes obviously depend on the kind of control exercised by the victorious powers.
