T
HIS HAS BEEN
a thrilling day! l have
had meetings today with eight of
probably the ten most powerful men in the government
of Japan- the second most powerful nation in the
free world.
These are the leaders whose responsibility it is to
guide the destiny of more than one hundred million
people.
T he clímax of the day was another 40-minute meeting
with the Prime Minister of J apan, Mr. Eisaku Sato. At the
outset of our meeting, the Prime Minister reminded me that
this was a very historie occasion. But let me save that for the
clímax of this
Personal
talk with our readers, even as it was
the clímax of this historie day.
On this present trip, 1 have been accompanied by my elder
daughter and Mr. and Mrs. Stanley
R.
Rader. We left Pasadena
Monday, March 6, flew to Honolulu, stopping there overnight.
Then Tuesday morning we took off on a one-stop (Wake Island
to refuel) flight to Tokyo. During the morning leg of the flight
we crossed the international dateline, and suddenly it was
Wednesday, March 8.
At Tokyo International Airport we did not disembark, but
Dr. and Mrs. Nobumoto Ohama carne aboard our aircraft, and

ABOUT OUR COVER
The Western \XIorld gained fresh
insights into Chinese society with
the inaugurarion in 1899 of the
"Open Door
Policr"
by the United
States. Fifty years later thc Com–
munists seized power, and China
ducked behind the "Bamboo Cur–
tain." Now after another twenty–
rhrec years, President Nixon has
made bis epic journey
to
China,
launching what might well be called
"Open Door Policy - Phase Two."
Today's China imernally maimains
its almost puritanical allegiance
to
Marx.ist-Leninist philosophy as in–
terpreted by Mao Tse-tung in the
famous "litt!e red book." The chil–
dren in this photo remind one
(){
Lenin's wocds:: "Give us the child
fur eight years and it will be a
Bolshevik forever."
