“POTENTIAL FRIENDS”
JAPAN’S RELATIONS WITH AMERICA Rec. 8 p.m. NEW YORK, Nov. 11. Japan was described as “ a great reservoir of potential friends to act as a deterrent and perhaps even to put off the day when our lads will march again ” by Lieutenant-general Robert Eichelberger, who commanded the Eighth Army of Occupation in Japan, when he spoke at an Armistice Day gathering in Cincinnati. He did not elaborate on Japan’s usefulness as a deterrent, but he added that the Japanese “look upon us with respect and even with budding friendship.”
