Nuclear power and nuclear weapons are no longer the sentimental agenda of the Western counter-culture. (This caricature has always been a misrepresentation. ) Their introduction to the Asia-Pacific region in a great wave necessitates a thorough understanding of the issue by all Asians who wish to know the latest means by which political and economic self-determination is being denied them. The control of the resources and economies of Third World nations by industrialised nations and their transnational corporations was badly shaken by the collapse of the post-War monetary system in the beginning of the 1970’s.

However the post-war history of Japan is also the history of the mutilation of this beautiful “ Peace Constitution” with the “ practical” interpretation by the ruling powers to accommodate the establishment and expansion of the “ Self-Defence Force” (SDF). The SDF is not supposed to possess war-waging potential, and the defence of Japan from U. S. military forces is defined by the Japan - U. S. Security Treaty (commonly referred to in Japanese as “ Am po” ). There is a traditional budgetary ceiling of one percent of the Gross National Product (GNP) which can be spent for defence needs. In spite of all these restrictions, as the GNP of Japan has rapidly increased, Japan’s SDF has become one of the biggest military powers of the world. The U. S. government is currently pressuring Prime Minister Suzuki’s regime to lift the defence budget ceiling and to buy more military equipment from the U. S. There are two main aims behind this effort. One is to sell more U. S. products such as expensive jet fighters for balance of trade. Another is to partially transfer the responsibility for the defence of Asia and the Over 300 people took part in a twenty-four hour of the 1.6 hectares of land, he refers to the 1978 Pacific over to Japan’s SDF. occupation of Bastion Point last weekend.

Recently the In order to defend themselves from this official refugees (out of 5 million population) plus CIA “found” what they claimed to be a extreme repression, the people of El Salvador are waging a liberation war. The Revolutionary Democratic Front (FDR), which is a coalition of political parties, trade unions, students’ associations, and peasants’ organisations, leads the opposition to the military government. The armed wing of the FDR is the Farabundo Marti National Liberation Front (FMLN). It is named after a leader of the 1932 uprising, Farabundo Marti. Over 100,000 were murdered when that uprising was put down. The FMLN has mass, popular support within El Salvador. This is illustrated by its offensive last July, which succeeded in liberating large areas of the country. These liberated zones are more than just military bases for the FMLN. Some of them have been controlled by the people for more than a year. In spite of repeated bombing attacks by the army, the people have begun to build models of what free El Salvador will look like, within the liberated zones. They have organised health campaigns, set up literacy classes and hospitals, organised food production, run a radio station, and elected popular and democratic local governments. Over the course of 1981, the guerilla armies were increasingly able to take the military initiative. In their most spectacular action, in mid-October, they destroyed the heavily guarded and strategic Puente de Oro bridge. More recently, they wiped out half the government’s airforce. The governing junta’s army is becoming ever more demoralized, with some elite National Guard troops deserting to the FMLN.
