Japan: Recovery and Reaction
Bisson, T. A. | February 2, 1952 issue

add to cart   close window

The article comments on the economic recovery of Japan. As Japan throws off direct occupation controls, outlines of two broad developments grow steadily clearer. A vigorous economic comeback is under way, and at the same time democracy and the public welfare are being sorely buffeted. Since Japan is still controlled by a set of bureaucrats and businessmen indistinguishable from the pre-war lot, the invitation was eagerly accepted. The great difference between the present ruling coalition and that which governed the country before the war is the absence of the militarists. Even under a treaty that places no limits on Japan's rearmament, some time must elapse before the militarists can come back in a big way.
