The Hells Canyon Dam Controversy
N 1956, AT THE TENDER AGE OF THIRTY-TWO, Frank Church made a bold bid for the United States Senate. After squeak- I ing out a victory in the hotly contested Idaho Democratic pri- mary, Church faced down incumbent Senator Herman Welker, re- ceiving nearly percent of the vote. One issue that loomed over the campaign was an emerging dis- pute over building dams in the Snake River’s Hells Canyon. While Church and other Democrats supported the construction of a high federal dam in the Idaho gorge, their Republican opponents favored developing the resource through private utility companies. Idaho EVOLUTION voters split on the issue, and so, seeking to avoid a divisive debate, Church downplayed his position during the general election “be- of an cause it was not a winning issue, politically.”1 Senator Frank Church Although Church won the election, he could not escape the is- sue. Indeed, his victory and subsequent assignment to the Senate Committee on Interior and Insular Affairs put him at the center of a growing controversy about damming Hells Canyon. Over the next eighteen years, Church wrestled with balancing Idaho’s demand for economic growth and his own pro-development beliefs with an emerging environmental movement’s demand for preservation of nature—in Idaho and across the nation. As he grappled with these competing interests, Church under- went a significant transformation. While Church often supported development early in his Senate career, he, like few others of his time, began to see the value of wild places and to believe that rivers offered more than power production opportunities and irrigation water. -
The Yoshida Doctrine As a Myth

The Yoshida Doctrine as a Myth Yoneyuki SUGITA* INTRODUCTION During the Allied occupation of Japan after World War II, Prime Minister Shigeru Yoshida developed a set of postwar foreign and security policies that came to be known as the Yoshida Doctrine. Masataka Kosaka has defined the doctrine as follows: (1) Japan ensures its national security through an alliance with the United States; (2) Japan maintains a low capacity for self-defense; and (3) Japan spends resources conserved by the first and second policies on economic activities to develop the country as a trading nation.1 The term “Yoshida Doctrine” was coined in 1977 by Masashi Nishihara, a prominent expert, as a way to define a consistent, pragmatic strategy in postwar Japan.2 It became a fixture among Japanese scholars in the late 1970s and early 1980s, when US hegemony was gradually declining and Japan was becoming an economic giant.3 This interpretation of the postwar era appropriately validated an emerging self- confidence about Japan’s role in the world. This article addresses a following research question: What were the terms and conditions for Japan, a vanquished, weak country, to be able to establish the Yoshida Doctrine? This article verifies my hypothesis that it was possible for Japan to do so *Professor, Osaka University 123 124 YONEYUKI SUGITA because the United States acquiesced to it. -
