Dear Co-Worker with Christ:
I have just returned to my hotel from a 45-minute audience
with His Imperial Highness the Crown Prince of Japan. Last
Tuesday and Wednesday I was in Okinawa. I had gone there at the
suggestion of Prime Minister Sato of Japan. It may well be called
one of the trouble spots of the world.
When I was here in December an anti-United States riot
occurred there on the day of my arrival. Okinawa is the principal
U.S. military base between the U.S. and the Vietnam war. Entire
island is under U.S. military government. Some 800,000 Okinawan
citizens are Japanese people. The whole government is scheduled
to revert back to Japan next year.
I interviewed the Japanese Chief Executive there, Lt. General
Lampert, who is High Commissioner and President of the University.
I also spoke at a banquet there to some 35 leading citizens and
their wives. I will say to you what I said to them:
I am now completing my third round-the-world trip in six
months. Everywhere I find troubles, high tensions, frightening
evils, problems that governments CANNOT SOLVE!
In Jerusalem I had a long talk with Mrs. Golda Meir, the
Prime Minister. She explained the high tensions between Israel
and the Arab nations merely in an armistice. Actually the '67
war has not yet been settled. Jerusalem, as I have told you
before, will be the number one news source in the world from now
on.
At New Delhi last December, Mrs. Indira Gandhi, the Prime
Minister, explained to me in a half-hour interview the overwhelming
problems of starvation and death, poverty, illiteracy, filth and
squalor. And besides, thousands of refugees pouring daily into
India from both East and West Pakistan -- poverty stricken and
needing to be taken care of. It is a pitiful and hopeless
situation.
In Nepal I had interviews with both the King and the Crown
Prince. They told me of their insolvable problems of getting
education and other help to the isolated mountain people.
