Debating Japan-US Attitudes on Hiroshima and Nagasaki
On December 7 (December 8, in Japan), 1941, Japan attacked Pearl Harbor, which started total war between Japan and America; today is the 77th anniversary of the start of the war.
The Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor though condemned as a sneak attack by America was in fact due to a delay in sending a notice by Japan of a break in Japan-US diplomatic relations, due to a technical failure by the Japanese Embassy in Washington.
The “sneak attack” campaign was so effective that the American people, most of whom were against war, fired-up to beat Japan.
A new book has been published, Bridging the Atomic Divide: Debating Japan-US Attitudes on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, by Harry Wray & Seishiro Sugihara. In the book, Harry Wray critiques thinking embraced by the Japanese people about the atomic bombing while Seihsiro Sugihara counters with circumstances and counterarguments from the Japanese side. They discuss, in a frank and candid manner, an extremely sensitive subject that Japanese and Americans have long avoided. It is emphasized in the book that the “sneak attack” campaign led the atomic bombing perpetuated four years later.
そもそも中華民国は「台北にある中国の亡命政府（Chinese Exiled Government in Taipei）」であるからこそ「チャイニーズタイペイ（Chinese Taipei）」なのであり、その憲法上も中国大陸を「中華民国大陸地区」と称して自国領土と主張し、目下中華民国亡命政府が統治している領域即ち憲法上の「中華民国自由地区」には、台湾に属する台湾島や澎湖諸島のみならず中国大陸の福建省に属する金門島や馬祖諸島も含まれるのであって、元より中華民国亡命政府はその住民投票によってチャイニーズタイペイから台湾（Taiwan）への名称変更を求める立場には無いわけである。
解りやすく言えば、建設業者はゼネコン（ General Contractor / かつては General contract と聞いていた？）と下請け企業の関係に見える。建設事業はゼネコンと呼ばれる大手建設会社が建設事業を受注し、下請けの建設関係の各社に仕事を発注する。ゼネコン自体も自社で建設の部門を持ってはいるが、基本は建設の受注をし、下請け企業と契約することが仕事。トヨタとソフトバンクの提携はゼネコンと下請け企業の連携と同じ構図に見える。
Commemorating the 100th Anniversary of Japan’s Proposal for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination
Part 1.
Japan’s attack on Pearl Harbour ignited the liberation of Asia from Western domination – Time to express Asia’s Gratitude to Japan
by
Senaka Weeraratna
Attorney at Law (Sri Lanka)
On November 14, 2018, a meeting was held to commemorate the 100th Anniversary of Japan’s Proposal for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination, sponsored by Society for the Dissemination of Historical Fact. More accurately, the Japanese government made this proposal at the Paris Peace Conference, in a committee that would eventually draft the Covenant of the League of Nations, on February 13, 1919. In any event, we are commemorating this monumental event in a number of ways, domestically and internationally, and this meeting was one of them.
Three speakers made presentations at this meeting: Mr. Senaka Weeraratana, Attorney at Law, from Sri Lanka, Mr. Kase Hideaki, Foreign Affairs commentator and President of the Society, and Dr. Yamashita Eiji, Professor Emeritus, Osaka City University.
Mr. Senaka Weeraratna was the keynote speaker at this meeting. He is not only a practicing attorney but also acquired a Master of Arts in Buddhist Studies. He is actively involved in Buddhist-related activities–recently, he participated in an International Buddhist Conference held at Narita.
Mr. Weeraratna stated:
“I am here today not only to share my thoughts on what needs to be done to rectify a blatant historical injustice done to the leaders and people of Japan in the aftermath of the Second World War, through manipulation of the media and the writing of history, but also to fulfill a long overdue duty, as a Buddhist Sinhalese from Sri Lanka, as a representative of South Asia and a fellow Asian, to thank Japan for setting in motion a phenomenal process that brought about the liberation of Asia from Western colonial domination.”
反日敵性民族国家の韓国は反日政策の便衣兵である民間を偽装した「 BANK ※ 」を使って芸能でも日本貶め、日本侵略をやっている。大衆は政治に関心を持つ人よりスポーツ芸能に関心を持つ人のほうが圧倒的に多い。そことを如何評価するかは一人ひとりの個人的的好みの問題であって、とやかくは言えないが、外国政府が戦略として反日、日本侵略を掲げるなら社会に大きな影響を与える芸能に関心を持たざるを得ない。

A Report on the Meeting Held on August 16th and 17th by the United Nations Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination
On October 9, the Alliance for Truth about Comfort Women held a meeting to report on the United Nations Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination and its Recommendation to the Japanese government at the House of Councilor Members’ Conference Room.
On August 30, the United Nations Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination released its concluding observations as well as recommendations to the Japanese government. We find it ironic, and extremely disappointing, that a committee entrusted with protecting human rights is instead fostering racial hostility against the people of Japan and intruding on their human rights.
The recommendations are exceedingly biased, and threaten to destroy the very fabric of the Japanese nation. Thus, all attendees unanimously supported the Open Letter of Protest to the Chairman of the Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination and adopted the Resolution, as written below.
Korean Mysticism and Anti-Japanese (Seirindo Co. Ltd.)
By Tajima Osamu
Series No.2: Chapter 1 Anti-Japanese Eros
Japan has sounded out Korea concerning consultation with the International Court of Justice in The Hague, The Netherlands, on rendering a judgment on the ownership of Takeshima Island. Korea has continued to reject any consultation with the Hague to this day. During a press conference held in January 2004, then President Roh Moo-hyun commented, “You’re telling me to prove that Dokdo is Korean territory? Why do I have to prove to others that my wife is mine?” In this manner, he clearly showed that he had no intention of going to the International Court of Justice.
Isn’t it a bizarre thinking, that “Dokdo is my wife?”
In addition to Roh Moo-hyun but Secretary of Foreign Affairs, Lee Don-won, reportedly used the expression for the first time during a foreign affairs committee meeting of the 6th Korean National Assembly nearly 50 years ago. This bizarre thought, that “Dokdo is my wife,” is certainly a genuine Korean-style of thinking, a rather abnormal, pathological expression.
It seems that Korean’s anti-Japanese image of Japanese is both masochistic and sadistic.
Their thinking of Japan is: “The Japanese killed Queen Min, our national mother, and after they gang-raped her corpse, they burned it,” “The Japanese kidnapped as many as two hundred thousand pure young girls, raped them and made them sex slaves of the military,” “They illegally arrested campaigners for independence and under the pretext of interrogation, they committed horrible torture, scraping suspects’ nails, hanging them upside down and pouring salt water into their nostrils from a kettle;” “That’s who they are.”
What is written above are fanciful stories not based on facts. As to the comfort women, the “kidnapping” of “two hundred thousand pure girls,” has been exposed as a lie. As to “campaigners for independence”, even core members of this campaign, including drafters of the declaration of Korean independence, were sentenced to less than three years of prison. So the Korean stories mentioned above are fake. However, Koreans never get into a thorough discussion of the facts. That is why their sadistic-masochistic view of Japan cannot be maintained without evoking fantasy.
What is needed is a deep analysis of the special Korean psychological structure.
7日のレセプションは台湾米国商工会議所（Taiwanese-American Chamber of Commerce, TACC）の成立を祝賀するもので、夜のレセプションに先駆けて夕方にはパネルディスカッションも行われるようである。
最近台湾民政府が出席している国際会議は貿易に関するものも多いので、その流れの一つと言えるであろう。
一方、会議の方は二つあり、そのうちの一つは8日から11日までジョージア州のシー・アイランドで行われる米国の政治雑誌「ワシントン・イグザミナー」（Washington Examiner）主催の「シー・アイランド政治サミット」（Sea Island Political Summit」。
もう一つは8日に行われる米国の新聞「ロール・コール」（Roll Call）主催の、中間選挙の結果がその後に与える影響を検討する「After the Races」である。
25日には「2018年コンコルディア年次サミット」に終日出席したそうだが（この会議には昨年9月にも出席している）、その途中に行われた昼食会は雑誌「The Washington Examiner」主催・台湾民政府協賛のものであり、この昼食会では「アジア政策の検証」をテーマに、国際貿易や関税問題から国家安全・銀行・金融に至るまで様々な内容について討論され、特にヘリテージ財団や雑誌「The Weekly Standard」からもゲストが招かれたそうである。
STATEMENT CONCERNING “CONCLUDING OBSERVATIONS” ISSUED BY THE UNITED NATIONS COMMITTEE ON THE ELIMINATION OF RACIAL DISCRIMINATION (CERD)
CERD’s recommendations demonstrate bias against and infringement upon the human rights of the Japanese people
We urge the Japanese government to request that CERD be structurally and procedurally reformed
On August 16 and 17 the United Nations Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination (hereinafter CERD) considered reports submitted by Japan. On August 30 CERD released its concluding observations, as well as recommendations to the Japanese government concerning problems stemming from alleged racial discrimination, e.g., the comfort-women issue.
These recommendations are exceedingly biased, and threaten to destroy the very fabric of our nation, Japan. CERD has been entrusted with protecting human rights, but instead it is fostering racial discrimination against the people of Japan, and infringing upon their human rights.
The Japanese government has already expressed its disappointment via the Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the Permanent Mission of Japan to the International Organizations in Geneva. Nevertheless, it behooves our government to tender to the United Nations, clearly and straightforwardly, its objections to the workings of a committee that issues recommendations of this ilk, and to call for the reform of CERD. If no reform is accomplished, Japan should withdraw its ratification of the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination, or resign from the Human Rights Council. We cannot think of a single reason for Japan to remain a member of an organization that infringes upon Japanese human rights, especially given Japan’s enormous financial contribution.
The Japan Alliance for Truth About Comfort Women submitted a memorandum prepared jointly with the 21-member Japan NGO Coalition Against Racial Discrimination to CERD.(They have been reported by our newsletter from No.216 9 for times.) We also participated in the CERD session in Geneva, during which we presented our position. In view of the events that transpired there, we have outlined our objections to CERD’s recommendations and our reasons for requesting the reform of that committee. To these we add our appeals to the Japanese government.

朝鮮の国旗として用いられた旗を最初に確認することができるのは、1882年9月に朴泳孝が訪日した時である。同年7月の壬午事変を機に、李氏朝鮮は日本との間で済物浦条約を締結し、その規定に従い謝罪の使節（特命全権大使兼朝鮮修信使）として朴泳孝らを日本へ派遣した。その際、朴泳孝は約4ヶ月間に渡る訪日中の出来事を日記（『使和記略』）として記しており、その中に太極旗の図案変更の経緯に関する記述がある。『使和記略』によると、9月20日（旧暦8月9日）に仁川から日本船籍の明治丸に乗り日本へと向かった朴泳孝らは、当初馬建忠が提唱した太極文様の周りに八卦を描いた太極図の旗を持っていた。しかし、朴泳孝が船内でイギリス領事のW. G. アストンとイギリス人船長ジェームスに対し、八卦と太極文様を描いた太極図を見せ国旗としての出来について相談した所、船長から「八卦が複雑で区別しにくく他国がこれを見て作るのに不便である」と助言を受けた。そのため、朴泳孝は八卦から四卦を削り、残りの四卦を45°傾けて四隅に配した図案を提案し、船中で大・中・小3本の太極旗を作ったという。9月25日（8月14日）に神戸へ到着した一行は宿泊先の西村屋で初めて完成した太極旗を掲げ、10月3日（8月22日）には太極旗小本と共に国旗制定を本国に報告したとされる[14]。
