NATIONAL BOARD MEETING
(To All JACL Chapters) As voted and provided for by the National Council, the National Board will meet in San Francisco on June 6 and 7. Our meeting from noon Saturday and continuing until Sunday afternoon will allow at least twelve hours of deliberations. While time is not going to permit us to resolve every• thing, and we do have a number of important organizational matters and policies to determine, we are inviting chapters and District Councils to submit any items for discussion. In submitting such items, please do more than mention the topic and give some background to point up the special concern. We would appreciate having these items by the end of April so that members of our National Board can be briefed prior to the meeting in San Francisco. -MAS SATOW, Nat'l Director Ye Editor's Desk
Continued from Preceding Page Japan must export to live ... For Japan there must be more free world outlets for her products. She does not want to be compelled to become dependent as a last resort upon the Communist empire. Should she ever be forced to that extremity, the blow to free world security would be incalculable." The President explained that expansion of free world outlets for Japanese goods could be provided "if each of the industrialized nations in the West does its part in liberalizing trade relations with Japan." It is not difficult to understand Red China motives in the forthcoming Japanese election politics.
