Now that the Peace Treaty has been 'signed and the American oc- cupation of Japan is coming to an end, I think everyone hopes that the Japanese people will remem- ber the lessons we've tried to teach them, and stay on the right side of the fence with us. We found -out that once you get across the 'language barrier the Japanese people are a great deal like us. They certainly can't get through the years ahead without our help, and without them on our side we're going to have a pretty rough time of it in the Orient. So 1et's hope bygones will be bygones for good! :Ii-NW2ffW2'1fffzu:'mv f.-' . fr''.fff:zf'-4.vf:f.:1.f W 357 6 4 ,K 4, -. f ,4..,.aw2h:59- ..ff...,.-,fx .g 4 M, . ,,.,. ., . 'F K i.

S. Army's main headquarters in Japan. A very modern city . . . clean . . . and famous for its serv- ice clubs and the Hthieves' market just across from the PX. This was the place to come just at closing time to swap yen and arguments with the proprietors who were trying to make just one last sale be- fore closing up. Page Twenty-One
