™* Japanese occupation of 3V4
year?, was "a hard, cruel time of
Compulsory labor and of more
lasting harm than the physical
Cruelty was davastatior of
forests with no thought for soil
conservation, SoedJoko asserts.
This sudden deforestation has
caused much silting of streams and
harbors and erosion has hurt the
fertility of much land cleared by
the Jap soldiers, who sound alarm
ingly like Eastern North Carolina
farmers and their wild bulldozers
Forbidden by his religion to eat
pork, SoedJoko cannot indulge in
East Carolina’s most famous deli
caejs; barbecue, but when asked
his favorite American fpod he very
quickly Says, "Fried chicken!”
Aslnfecl about the use of alcoholic
beverages by Moslems, who are
also forbidden the “Cup That
Cheereth”, SoedJoko confirmed an
old suspicion, “Those who like it,
drink!”, which locates the Mos
lems somewhere near thq “preach
ing dries and drinking wets”' that
populate the United States.
