In some important ways the treatment of the Nanjing massacre by Japan resembles our own temporizing and revising of our own treatment oc our captive slaves and of the Native Americans, not to mention our two A-bomb raids on Japan. Every country has its skeletons.

It just seems a shame that we should be in this modern age be given guarantee to Japan versus China. The Japanese seem to be just as
provocative as the Chinese. I observe where the President was telling them to calm it.

I am ambivalent on the A bombs. They were prepared to fight to the last man
for the Emperor.

Even after the first one was dropped they still did not want to give up.

BTW the Japanese rebuffed the President on opening of their markets.
