The following is the continuation of the previous chapter.
Especially banishment of teaching profession is severe, and in the end 100,000 faculty members are forced to resign.
Many teachers college graduates before the war have quit.
Sakurai
Teachers college is known for raising talented people.
It did something regrettable.
It is this time that the Asahi Shimbun has changed.
"Since it is the United States that professes 'Justice is power', it can not deny that the use of atomic bombs and innocent civilian killing is a violation of international law or war crime beyond hospital ship attacks and poison gas use"
It was told that Ichiro Hatoyama discourse was to incur the GHQ wrath, the Asahi Newspaper received a two-day suspension.
Since then, the Asahi Shimbun has changed direction actively to send masochistic view of history in the present tone, its 'anti-Japanese disease' remains incurable today.
Hyakuta
Freedom of expression came back after the occupation forces left, but for seven years under the occupation, it was enough time for socialists and communists to take root in newspaper companies and universities.
Sakurai
To the active Asahi reporter, I want you to look back on the history of the company and know how the seniors' reports changed.
Hyakuta
As MacArthur returns to the United States in 1951, the Asahi Shimbun wrote this in Tensei Jingo.
"There are no foreigners who widely and deeply influenced Japanese people as much as Douglas MacArthur, and few foreigners were familiar with many Japanese. Since Bataan (Peninsular), it was a ten-year period from sixty to seventy years old, both Sundays and birthdays were filled with hard labor. To Douglas MacArthur who leaves Japan finally without seeing the completion of peace, dying for the belief, I feel deep respect and reluctant parting as 'The great bridge in the Pacific' "
It will be an agency newspaper from North Korea or China (laugh).
Sakurai
It seems like a love letter (laugh).
Hyakuta
Although it did not realize, movement to make ‘MacArthur shrine’ was also seen, and Presidents of Asahi Shimbun and Mainichi Newspaper at that time were a successor to the founders.
It is common for a shrine to worship a real person, such as Nogi shrine, who worshiped Mr. Nogi Maresuke, but everyone passed away.
They worship people who are still alive (laugh).
For the Asahi Shimbun, MacArthur is ‘living god’.
This draft continues.
