PM's foreign correspondent Max Lerner (1902 - 1992) penned the attached editorial concerning the need for a dramatic shift in the Japanese school system if war was to be avoided in the future:
"We must ask ourselves how we can ever expect a democratic Japan while the school system remains feudal and fascist, and how can we expect a free Japan while the school system brings up suicide-fanatics and robots...Only a revolution in education will ever produce a democratic Japan that stays democratic. And only a sweeping political revolution will ever produce a revolution in education."
