So far, to judge by the campaign appeals that proved most powerful, the dominant wish of the Japanese, ten years after Hiroshima and surrender, is to have the best of two worlds. They yearn to be neutralist—and mean by that a nimble sort of neutralism which would provide them with the continuing money, protection and support of the U.S. while leaving them free to dicker and deal with the Communists. It is a dream others have had, too. But being what they are and where they are, the Japanese can hardly hope to avoid the angry winds around their wood and paper houses.
