Last week it was Inonu (now 69 years old) against Bayar again. Both parties were strongly pro-Western, pro-American and anti-Soviet. Turkey's place as the Middle East's strongest anti-Communist bastion was not at issue. In other fields, the Republicans charged that the Democrats had failed to check inflation, had invited in foreign (U.S.) capital in too generous a fashion. The Democrats replied, in effect, by asking the people whether they were not better off than ever before...
Clamor for Yoshida's resignation increased. His left-wing opposition in the Diet, though divided within itself, is bigger than his own coalition. The left-wingers were hot & heavy after Yoshida for his pro-Western policy, and used the scandals as their club. Haughtily refusing either to discuss the scandals or to give police the help they needed to clean out corruption, Yoshida stayed away from the Diet, calmly warmed his feet over a charcoal brazier at his private villa in Oiso, 42 miles from Tokyo.

First they show that President Eisenhower is either unwilling or unable to control the actions of his cabinet members. This has happened before--when one cabinet secretary was contradicting another on matters like Russian H-bomb potential and military bases in Spain, or endangering the pro-Western party in the German elections. The spectacles were laughable ten, but fortunately not serious. But now this lack of control has resulted in the Attorney-General of the United States impugning the loyalty of an ex-President of the country, and thereby undermining the presumption of good faith upon which the two-party...
...great show of offering him pillows, later volunteered to read Hatoyama's speech for him. In last week's election, Hatoyama polled more votes than any other candidate. Almost alone of Liberal candidates, he urged that the Japanese constitution be revised to permit rearmament. Yoshida, though pro-Western, ducked the delicate rearmament question. When the Liberals meet at the end of this month to choose a Prime Minister, Hatoyama will seriously challenge his old standin. As of now, the betting is on Yoshida...
