...moved back into the ranks of the world's industrial giants, their allies have been urging them to take a greater interest in foreign affairs - and especially to help out in aid to underdeveloped countries.

Drafting plans for a Japanese copy, he dispatched officials to likely recipients in Southeast Asia and Africa.

...enough to reassure the Japanese that the attack in no way changed his "deep regard" for them. But Reischauer's diplomatic nonchalance was not enough to reassure the mortified Japanese government: the Home Affairs Minister, who had lost more face than Reischauer had blood, resigned. Next day Premier Hayato Ikeda so-sorried in Japanese (with English subtitles) directly to the U.S. via Relay II satellite. As far as Ambassador Reischauer was concerned, the whole affair was just another opportunity to cement Nipponese-American relations.
