| Popis: | APAN possesses one of the world's strongest navies and an army that surpasses any other in Asia in its training and equipment. But national security cannot be assured through military strength alone, nor can it be attained through conquest. Security rests upon a more fundamental basis. It is to be found in the ability of a nation to develop a sound economic structure that will both provide a livelihood for the population and hold out the opportunity for an improvement in the living standard. Without such a structure national progress is impossible and the strongest military establishment must finally become powerless and ineffective. The question may well be raised whether the present venture of Japan upon the mainland of Asia promises to contribute to the economic strength of the country and thus to national security. |
