The hills and harbors of this first impression are the prime intro- duction into an eastern civilization reared from before the birth of Christ even before the golden era of Rome on a social and political system completely independent of western culture. When America was only a glint in Columbus' eye, a thousand emperors had waged their gallant wars, countless families had been born, lived and died to temper this civilization, to bear its fruit and to carry it across the tragedy of world war to the van- guard of international commerce. From under the rubble of Hiroshima arose the decision of dedicated and res- olute men to carry the torch of free democracy in the East. Japan has united and rebuilt and now stands heel to toe with free Asia in their efforts to combat the thrusts of world communism. Today in Japan, East meets West. Tokyo has become porterhouse steak with soy sauce. In evidence through- out the islands is the mark of the new era. Tea and coca-cola run side by side. Japan is moving up and has already become the new capital of the East. -, ,S tl ' ' P gg . il' A il J J, i i ' i,. i K! ' H 2 ,ivw zyll th I , U, il J . , sf i ...r , Y a 1 ',,.1 J.
