In 1941, Imperial Japan rapidly brought an end to the British
Empire in Asia. Because a non-white race dared to upset the white
colonialists' status quo in Asia, the British resented the Japanese
long after the war. Mr. Henry Scott-Stokes states that he held such
a view as well before arriving in Japan as a foreign correspondent.
Mr. Scott-Stokes writes of his transformation, of uncritical
acceptance of the western colonialist's version of the Greater East
Asian War, the so-called Pacific War, to realization of its
absolute vacuousness. "[The Japanese]," he states, "were supposed
to simply accept, without any criticism or opposition whatsoever,
the noble wisdom of civilization [the verdicts of the Tokyo
Trials]." Mindless parroting of historical fabrications by modern
Japanese suggests a loss of national consciousness, of what it
means to be Japanese, as Yukio Mishima expressed in his discussions
with Mr. Scott-Stokes. Japan lost her independence to America and
is merely a protectorate and not a nation with her own culture and
history. Japanese people need to take it upon themselves to change
this situation. Mr. Stokes' mother-in-law, however, wryly commented
that today's Japanese are cowards, so it will take another 200 or
300 years.
