Japan Hard
To Reform,
Panel Says
Belief that the democratization
of Japan will be a Herculean, and
perhaps an impossible task was
expressed by four speakers at the
last of a series of Vet's Views
panel discussions held Thursday
afternoon in the Union lounge.
In discussing "Can We Demo
cratize Japan?" the Rev. Mr. Har
old C. Gosnell, rector of Holy
Trinity church and stationed in
Japan while serving as chaplain
during the war, stated that Japan
must be democratized. He said
that it was the Emperor-worship
cult which demanded aggressive
warfare of Japanese people. With
defeat in arms and the Emperor
religion crushed, the Japanese can
now see for the first time that
they have the power to choose
their own religion as well as their
own type of government. If we do
not democratize Japan, warned
Rev. Gosnell, she will fall prey to
a totalitarian government.
Josenh J. Cariotto. Lincoln at
torney who was attached to the
Judge Advocate General's corps
in Japan, echoed Rev. Gosnell's
statement that democratization of
Japan must be accomplished, and
declared that now was the time.
The common man is eager for
freedom," he said.
Arts and sciences junior Ken
Greenwood stated that democracy
in Japan was impossible. "Demo
cracy," he said, "is evolved; it
cannot me imposed, especially by
a conquering army." Before any
progress can be made in demo
cratizing Japan, Greenwood said,
her people must first be fed, and
