Finally, Prime Minister Eisaku Sato entered the controversy, announced he would be happy to see the Imperial moved "in part or entirely" to Meiji Village near Nagoya, a sort of Japanese Williamsburg. Only two days before demolition was to begin last week, Owner Inumaru met with representatives from the village and agreed to save the main lobby, at least temporarily. Assuming the estimated $4,000,000 can be raised, Wright's spiritual presence seems likely to settle down with relics from the Meiji period (1868-1912). The prospect of becoming a part of Japan's architectural heritage would...
...peaceful solution in Viet Nam," said the Premier, who last month finished a ten-nation swing throughout Southeast Asia. "I was deeply impressed during my recent trip that the U.S. efforts in Viet Nam were well understood and appreciated by the governments and peoples of the Asian countries." Sato warmed Johnson's heart further when he pronounced himself "keenly aware that the position of a leader is often a lonely one filled with tribulations." Himself besieged by leftist anti-government rioters before he flew to the U.S., Sato commented dryly on dissent in America. "It has been suggested that...
Though Japan's U.S.-imposed constitution forbids the use of force in settling international disputes-thus barring any Japanese troop commitment to Viet Nam-the country contributes more than $1,000,000 a year to Saigon. Sato promised to increase Japan's foreign aid by a full third, and to continue the Japanese-American security treaty beyond its 1970 expiration date. He repeatedly rejected the idea of a unilateral U.S. bombing pause over North Viet Nam without "reciprocal action" from Hanoi. To that extent, Sato paid more than he received in the way of U.S. concessions...
...more sensitive question of Okinawa, Sato received a promise of continuing consultations on the island's future reversion to Japan. This prospect has been clouded by the war, since Okinawa is America's major Western Pacific base, and a key way station for heavy bombers and troops headed for Viet Nam. The sooner the war in South east Asia ends, the sooner Japan will regain administrative control of Okinawa and the Ryukyu chain of which it is a part. With that in mind, perhaps, Sato offered last week to serve as best he could as a "third party...
...insurgency threat, Ne Win has gradually backed off from his old aloof position as a 200% neutral. He now seeks aid wherever he can find it. A Russian mission went to Burma a few months ago and discussed the possibility of a sizable Soviet aid commitment. When Premier Eisaku Sato visited Rangoon earlier this month, Ne Win made a pitch for stepped-up payments of Japanese reparations. German Chancellor Kurt Kiesinger goes to Burma later this month, and Ne Win is expected to ask him for increased German aid. There are also reports in Rangoon about big shipments...
