...generally pro-American government of Premier Eisaku Sato wants Okinawa to revert to Japanese control; U.S. Presidents from Eisenhower on have promised that someday it will. When that happens, however, the U.S. armory would become subject to the same conditions that now apply to American bases in Japan: no nuclear weapons under any circumstances, and no introduction of new weaponry or dispatch of U.S. forces to combat from Japanese stations without prior consultations...
...campaign to regain Okinawa is only a part of the problem. An acrimonious dispute over trade is moving to the point of showdown. The issue will be debated at a joint meeting of the U.S. and Japanese cabinet members in Tokyo this month, and again when Prime Minister Eisaku Sato meets President Nixon in Washington in November. The expanding argument centers on the protectionist policies of both countries, but the U.S. has brought the trouble to a head by pressing for quotas on textile imports...
Burning Issue. The U.S. presence, and its use of the island as an operations base for Viet Nam, have provided ultranationalist rightists and anti-American leftists in Japan with a burning issue against the pro-U.S. government of Premier Eisaku Sato.

Even so, the Soviets may benefit from North Korea's attack on the U.S. plane.

Moscow-as well as Peking and Pyongyang-would like to see American strength reduced in the far Pacific. With...
...damage was so extensive that Prime Minister Eisaku Sato, a 1924 graduate himself (seven of Japan's ten postwar Prime Ministers attended Tokyo University), wept when he visited the scene. Dazed professors walked through ravaged offices and laboratories, ankle-deep in rubble and water. Even the marble wall of the main entrance had been broken up. The bill for the damage may run as high...
