She is totally disarmed. She has no army. no navy. and 1o military power. whatsoever. So. as contrasted with Germany and Europe. the one nation in Asia or in all the Pacific which could really present a formidable challenge. in force. to the further spread of Asiatic communism. Is totally disarmed. which results in another drainand a terrific drainon our .position. Happily there is some plan in prospect. nowI am not disclosing anything secret. because it is carried in the presswhich. it is hoped. may result in a formidable military force in Japan. We do not like the idea in some ways. and perhaps the nations of Asia do not like it. but I am convinced that that is the only way to build a formidable threat to the further spread of Asiatic communism. The only remedy is to have Japan armed. not only to protect herself. but to protect other areas of the Pacific. We may not like to admit that. but I think it is a hard. commonsense fact. and we shall have to realize it. I understand that some of the other Asiatic countries do not want to see that happen. but as a part of the picture I think it is necessary. That is one of the big questions looming up in connection with our future foreign policy. Let me say a word about the situation in Korea. in connection with the discussion of the picture in the Pacific.
