...part of our Bicentennial observances, TIME asked the Readers of nations around the world to speak to the American people through TIME'S pages on how they see the U.S. and what they hope-and expect-from it in the years ahead. This message from Prime Minister Takeo Miki of Japan is the second in the series...
...Premier Takeo Miki is regarded in Japan as a mild-mannered and even distressingly passive leader. Last week, however, he displayed a streak of combativeness worthy of a samurai.

Miki's response was to send police to raid 28 separate offices and homes in search of evidence of wrongdoing. No. 1 target was the home of Yoshio Kodama, the 65-year-old ultranationalist who was allegedly paid more than $7 million of the $12 million of payola handed out in Japan by Lockheed. Investigators from the national tax agency, Tokyo police and the Public Prosecutor's office struck...
