Roger W. Babson reports from Tokyo that the United States has no military threat from Japan now but warns Japan will increasingly challenge U.S. economic interests. He notes Japan’s industrial strength, low wages, large birth rate, and rapid postwar commerce, while advising Americans to adjust to yen values and rising inflation. He also praises Chinese people and comments on labor conditions and diplomatic attitudes.
The piece argues inflation harms those abroad while exporters profit. It contrasts yen value in China and Hong Kong with British and American currencies, critiques Japanese freedom limits, and warns that security is earned by sacrifice, not purchased, urging American courage and willingness to risk lives.
