Disarmament and True Peace

"How long ean False PeaceLast?" This is the headlmeof the article appearing onAugust 23, 1948 issue of theNewsweek. The pretense ofpeaee as written under thatheadl-me should never bemaintained. The war is over,but has peaee really comeback? What,is peace likeanybow? Many of us reallydo nof. know, for o"r genera-tion has never e:cpemeneecreal peace. Peaee! ---- As vkre survey the currentworld affairs, we can not helL-feeling uneasy about it. How-ever, it is a t'act that everybody knows how m.iserabl(the war is. especially m mo-dern ages, Nobody iNrants war

dislikes peace. . Japan declared throu.Jh itscofi" s"' titutlon renun('latlon ofwar to the world. Needlessto say that war is the greatestcrime, Yet, war has nLeveiended since the dawn ef his-tory. ]ust as they say thatiitorld history is nothmg butwar history Even by theLeague of Nations which ap-peared ai"ter the ftrst worlcwar, the second world waroould not be p;evented. AgamUNO has been organized, butunless the Allied NaLions makeeflGrts to attam their object,peace w'i!l never be maintain-ed.

Once the war occurs,humanity is neglected, Civih-zation :s destroyed. Appear-anee oi' the Atom Bomb ex-tends the possibilities of KKrar,or conversely, it may stop thecause of war. Unless cwiliza-tion stops war, soon war willdestroy civilization. UNO ad-vocates that war is crimeagainst peace-lov}ng family ofnations. Many of the leadersof the aggressive war are riowbeing accused ot the erimeagainst peace in Tokyo In-temational Court as m Num-berg before. We Japaneseonce ca]led war-hke people isgoing to elimmate this suspi-cion, and in near future, willdevote ouTselves to the worldpeace as a member of UNOFor this reason we declared"the renunciation of war." This will certainly be sup-ported by the world nationsbefore long even though wehave no veice in the m.atternow. T'here are severa] examplesof the constitution which de-nied the aggressive war be-sides Japane.se. Orie was theconstitut!on of France, 1791and ancther was that ofBrazil, 1891. But never inthe history has a constitutiondgclared pet"feet disarmamentor denied eveiy kmd of waras seen in the eonstitution ofJapan.

Harvard Club Lectures at Keio Yniversity

Through the km.d ot' inter-eedence of the Harvard Club,Keio Umversitv wishes to in-vite several alurnmi of I{arvardrJniversity, who are now mTokyo with thb Allied Forces,to give leetures beÅíote thedifferent departments of theUmversity under the name of`` Harvard Club Lectures atKeio" m order to disseminateknewleclge oi the new werldamong the Japanese studentsand also too revive the historicrel[tt!on which Keio Uinnver-gity had enJoyed with Har-vard.

TcntativG plans for the Iee-tures suggested by Keio Unl-verslty:

1 The lectures wilj beopen to thtc publie, without,compensation, as well as tothe students od: Keio Univer-sity. Inmtations will be sentto Keio alumm and to variousuniversities in Tokyo; also-tnnouneements will be placedin the newspapers. 2. The lectui'es will be con-tinued semi-permanently be-gmning Ln the fa}! of 1948. 3. The selecl,ion oÅí the sub-leets for the leetures will beleft to the diseretion eÅí t.he1(}ctures, but the desire of" theuniversity is that they shouldtouch upon the new aeademietrencl since thc- pei"iod imme-diatel: prior to the war whichthe Japanese are not familiarwith 4. We consider that it wJllbe convement to have the lec-turEs given on fixed houy andday of the week m the sameroom (tor mstance, Wednes-day I pm. in Enzetsukan),Perhaps on lecture of twohour duration every otherweek will be desirable. 5. We shall tentatively be-gin the lectures before thethree departments of Lite-rature, Eeonomics and Law.Also Ieetures on naturalsciences are desirable, theywill be considered after thelectures on humanities havemade a good start. 6. As the first course, wesug.dest that three or fou!' Iec-tures be given before each oEthe three Departments begin-ning in late September orearly Oetober ar.d lastmg tillFebruary.

Thishospital, however, belongs tothe Medical Ti'eatment Ce-operation, which is to be dis-•so]ved soon. We hope, how-ever. to eontmue the manage-ment as before. Smee theout-pahent department wasdestrbyed, it has been provid-ed to take care of day patients.

A.

C. At Yotsuya the build-mgs vacated by the Depa}t-ment of IPreventive Medicineand the Pharmaco-chemicallaboratory was refitted intohospitals and out-patient de-partment. This has been pro-vided without about 150 beds.Thus tne school of medicmeat Yotsuya now has 35e bedshospital facilities.

I Won't Study

-Ed:ter's Note: A comment on the student strikesappeared in the ![ENSEI-JINGOcolumn ot the Asahi Press. Thefollowing is its translation.

. "I won't study. And youcan't make me either!"---thatis the real 'spirit behind the

presentstudents'strike. Whomdo they think they are study-ing for? Perhaps they thinkthey are studying for theirschool or for the Ministry vtEducation, and not for them-selves,

A strike is a kmd of tacticswhich is meant to give a blow

upon the opponent. But whenthe students go into strike,their opponents de not feel theleast pain or ttch. Those wholose by it are the studentsthemselves, What a strangekind of strike this is!

Aren't the students acting1ike a spoiled child of the so-

eiety? Isn't it that, simplybeeause they had come throughthe diMeult entrance examina-tions, they feel they are en-titled to speeial pboipttleges?Is it qtute certain that all thosestrilÅqing students are qu!te hee

from a doubt when they sitbaek and thmk things over?Are they quite sure that theyare not misinterpreting thelabor movement and growinglax m their att!tude?

Japanese people in generalseem to think of aeademicstudies as someth!ng hard-assomething hard----as exempli-fied by the figure of NinomiyaKinjiro reading a beok whilecarrying the firewood on hisback, or reading by the lightof the kitchen stove; or asexpressed m the song: "By the1ight of the fireflies and thesnow on the wmdowsill." Peo-ple are liable to think of studyas something hard and morti-fying. Herein 1ies the originof the illusion that stua"y i$ aform of labor. Perhaps the sin may be laidto the tact that the studentsare pursued by examinationsand examinations even Åírombefore the entrance into aschool til1 their graduation,T"his engenders the feeling thatstudy is a sort of forced laborand kills the Joy of learningwhieh all the American andEuropean students seem toshare. Because there is nopositive self-will in studying,it is natural that the studentsget the illusion ef doing thestudies for the sake of theirparents or the school. The factthat many of them give upstudying the moment they gra-duate may arise from the samecause, The Japanese studentsvvi!l never be"better until theylearn the fundamental ideathat study is for the improve-ment oÅ}' one's own aecomplish-ments. This strange phenome-non, called the students' strike,must be something unheard oÅíand unthinkable in a foreignland.

Editor's Note; The Å}ollowmg letter exehangewas imtiatted by Mr AIIchin, achrei of Japanese Club oi exfordUniversity, wbo expeeted oureorrespondence to his elab mern-bers by this first letter:

Dear Friend; Thank you very much foryQur kmd letter of july 7th.Thinkmg of its having travel-led Åíar frorn London, whyshouldn't we members oÅí MitECampus be excited toxread it?We appreciated it very much. Our newspaper Mita Cam-pus was born on the i5th ofAugust, l946, ]ust one yearafter the war, in cominemoca-tion of dernocratic Japan. Asyou know there was a longperiod of sv.ppression by theMilitarists; reckless mareh ofmilitarism over seVen wholeyearst Anddefeat! Andwhatfollowed it? They were whatthe usual war presents--rum,hunger and misery. All the Japanese were whirl-ed mto confusion and bewil-derment. Under sueh a eon-d]tion, our students of KeioUniversity rose up and madethe first step of cultural re-habihtation. Vge gathered allour being of youth to fightagainst this adversity and toset up eultural Japan. Thus,one year after the war, wewere read: to crop the harvestiof publishing Åíhe first issue efMita Campus as one oÅ} the or--gans promotmg the inter-national understanding anafriendship. Needless to say, all the staffengaging in this work are stu-dents. The motto !s "A paperfor the student, of the studentand by the student." IVs in-tended to let the world knowwhat Japanese stv.dents arethinking of and seeking atpresent. According to your letter, itseems that there are ratheriew neLvs about the s:,tuationof Japanese students m yourcountry. There is the samecondition about the informa-tino oÅí English student lifehere in Japan. There, as youproposed, we agree entirely tothe paper exchange betweenyou and ourselves. AlsQ, it's our eager wiJh topersonal correspondenee fromnow on. For the world peaceand the international under-standing we wdl make all ourefforts as one unit of UNESCO. Smcerely yours, Mikio Homye.

universities should not d!sturb the peaceful and tranqui]world of boys' "towei- ol'ivory" by their nois: ehatter-]ngs and worldly scandahsa-tions. BeÅíore begmnmg to look fortheir ideal husbands amongthe boy students or criticisGco-education system, girlsshould realize that they havemuch to thmk and to do fGrthernselves.

It is noexaggeration to say that thissense of superlorlty was oneof the greatest eauses of thewar, and also the misunder-standing between our raceand others. At present, thereare many foreigners m Japan.Taking this charice, i'v is r-eed-

less to say we must makeÅímends with them, studyingtheir languages and culturesand recognize and understandmutual merits eMciently. Ifwe are permitted to go abroad,Many Japanese will eagerlygo overseas and study Sheeonditions ot people, customsand natural features, and ex-tend eur views themsglves,broadening the ideas and willtry our best for the worldpeace through cooperationwith the progressive mtelligenteircles of each country m theNKrorld We students are de-stmed to be the mtell!genteireles ot the future and wewill be obliged to shoulderthe werld peace. In thissense, ]t Js hoped that theworld students should obtainopportumtles to eooperatewith the Japanese students bythe medium of this Mita Cam-pus.

The Japa!iese people irnustgrieve over the death of Dr.Mmobe. He was the very manwho, we wishecl, would livp-long to Ksfateh the develoe. mentoE New Japan. His latest work, "T"he Prip-ciples of ZLhe Japar-ese Consti-tution," may be said to havecenclupled, m every meanmg,his 1ix"e-long work as a Con-stitutional scholar. We couldwell imagine the satisfaetionwhich he must have felt mpresentmg the Japemiese peo-ple with this great wor}Åq whichanyone can read with all.con-fidenee.

In Å}aet, we may very wel]say that Dr. Mmobe had livedthe last. ten years with a fee]-mg as if he had been walkmgthrough a dark tunnel, andhe had lived simply to writethis smgle book'. Time hacleome when tne Japanese peo-ple had no way but to lool{ior his gvidan'ee m the studiesof the New Constitution.though oiily a Cew years agothey had called him on "aca-demic bandit," ostracized himftom the socieVy, placecl tabuon his fine work on the tor-rner Constituhon, allowed him
