A Five Point Program Of Peace For Far East Missionary From China Outlines Basis Of Per manent Peace By GEORGE A. HUDSON (Born and reared In China, and for twenty-one years a mis sionary of the Presbyterian Church in that country, Rev. George A. Hudson, author of this article, speaks with author ity about China and the Far East. Prior to Pearl Harbor, Mr. Hudson was stationed at Hash ing where, for one full year, he was the only American resident and the only Protestant mis sionary in the city. He was tak en into custody by the Japanese military and was interned for seven months in a concentra tion camp across the river from Shanghai. On December 2, 1943, he arrived in the United States aboard the repatriation ship, Gripsholm. Audiences throughout the country have been stirred by the gripping story of Mr. Hud son's experiences. With his keen knowledge of the Far Eastern situotion, he outlines in this ar ticle the basis of a permanent peace in the Orient. ?J. T. GILLESPIE.) On my return to the United States upon the repatriation vessel "Gripsholm" last Decem ber, I was asked by American Government officials, "What do you consider to be the basis of a permanent peace in the Far East? I replied with a Five Point program as follows: 1. The utter destruction of Japanese Miiitaryism The destruction of Japanese militarism is the first step. I mean by that statement the putting down, and if necessary, the extermination of the Japan ese military machine, the mili tary government and the mili tary caste of Japan, with safe guards that Japanese militar ism shall not rise apain. Such action is essential if there is to be any freedom or any de cency of living in the far East. Such action is necessary for our own security as well ? "Pearl Harbor" is not forgotten. After five years of residence in apanese Occupied Territrory of China, and after having wit nessed the ruthlesness and bru tality of Japanese conquest and rule, i ?am constrained to say without passion, but with en tire conviction, that the apan ese military and the military government of Japan are not fit to rule. They are not fit to rule any people, not even their own people. They are gipoted., puffed up with pride, intoixicat ed with their possession of pow er. They are cruel as evidenced by their ruthless, inhuman con quest of weaker peoples. They are oppressive in their rule, sub jecting the people of conquered countries to brutality and ter rorism. The are past-masters at exploitation, bleeding occupied territories white of commodities, raw materials, and even food stuffs of the people. It is not "Co-prosperity"; it is prosperity for Japan at the expense of oc cupied areas. It is not "Asia for the Asiatics"; it is Asia for Ja pan as a stepping stone in her ambition to dominate the world. The Japanese military debauch the people they conquer. Never dad I seen opium 50 openly sold and used in the District City of Kashing as under the Japanese regime. Nor had there ever been so much licensed prostitution as that organized by the Japanese j military officials. Again, I say, j they are not fit to rule anyone. They ore not worthy. Their | trusteeship of power is being 1 taken from them. God uses hu man instrumentality. God is us ing the military might of Amer I ica to crush the evil militarism ' of Japan. The task is not and will not be easy., We are pitted against a cruel, crafty, ruthless foe, a foe with astounding sta mina. It will cost us, as expres sed by Prime Minister Church ill, "blood, sweat and tears." I know something about the "tears" of it. My only son, eighteen years of age, a Marine Raider? he volunteered for that service? was killed in action on Bougainville Island, November first of last year. Many other American, parents are giving splendid sons to this task of putting down evil militarism in the world. It takes youthful strength, daring and versatility to fight this modern war. We are proud of our gallant young soldiers and honor them for what they are accomplishing. But, after the military task is accomplished, what then? Say, if necessary in order to accom plish the military task, we ex terminate ten millions of the military of Japan, what are we then to do with the sixty mily lions of common people of Ja pan? Some people say, Extermi nate the whole Japanese race-" No! Such an attitude is un reasonable! We must HELP the common people of Japan. II. Help Civilian Japan In dustrially. When Japan's empire is taken from her and Japan's people are restricted to their small strips of islands they will not have sufficient materials and food stuffs to maintain an adequate standard of living. They will be scarcely above a starvation level. We should allow them row materials and purchase their commodities under regulations and on a basis of reciprocity that they may purchase food stuffs and other commodities necessary for adequate subsis tence. Such a policy is humane and reasonable. (To Be Continued) ?Continued From Page One CLASSIFICATIONS?
