Of Comeback Try
By Wartime Heads
TOKYO, Japan, Nov. 11—Unless American troops remain for an interim period, those same reactionary forces that led Japan to war will make a comeback attempt after the peace treaty is negotiated.
That alarm was sounded by Ikuo Oyama, pioneer leader of Japan's proletarian movement, who recently returned from the United States after his self-imposed exile of 16 years.
Oyama said that "reactionaries—some of them still in parliament—are harmless today, but they can be dangerous tomorrow."
"America should keep its troops here long after the treaty is signed—until we are strong enough to make sure that the old leaders can't return to power," he declared.
Oyama taught political science at Waseda before his departure to the United States some 16 years ago.
While in the United States, he taught at Northwestern university in Evanston, Ill. Recently it was reported that he will resume teaching at Waseda from the new term next spring.
