Year Published: 1955

Creator: Frederick Remley Jr. Karl Lohmann Jr. Verne Weber Thomas Coates George A. Peek Jr. Hazen Schumacher Jr. John McGiffert Garnet R. Garrison John W. Hall Robert E. Ward

Format: 16mm

Description: This program stresses two main points: The internal problems of Japan and Japan’s position in the Far East as it affects the United States. A film segment suggests highlights of the history of Japan since World War II, and a second film clip illustrates the conditions of life in Japan, pointing up the great difficulty of such a small country in providing enough food for such an enormous population. It is agreed that the key issue of American policy is how to convert a defeated, completely demilitarized enemy into a strong ally against Communism.
