JAPAN: Ah, But ...
In Tokyo's Nippon Times, Poet Asataro Miyamori sang of a new Japan:
Behold! . . . We should make our fatherland
East Asia's Switzerland, A free state where equality Is enjoyed by both sexes in harmony....
In the bottomless pit Let us militarism bury. . . .
Ah, but Gods of Heaven and Earth, Do, I pray Ye, let our Imperial Family Enjoy everlasting glory And eternal prosperity.
