Democracy

Continued from Page 21

cumulation of a military force
sufficient to undermine its
own democratically elected
governments in order to op-
press its own population.
Having its security guaran-
teed by Israel and possibly by
Jordan, the need for more
than internal police powers is
obviated. How else could the
type of military coup d'etat
la Syria, Iraq and Libya of re-
cent times by prevented?
Democracies are not made
overnight. Theya re preceded
by socio-political and educa-
tional reforms. In Japan, the
American-imposed reforms
were instituted in February
1947. Article 9 of the
Japanese constitution states,
"The Japanese people forever
renounce war as a sovereign
right of the nation and the
use of force as a means of set-
tling international disputes.
Land, sea and air forces .. .
will never be maintained. The
right of belligerency of the
state will not be recognized?'
The constitution also limits
defense expenditures to 1% of
the GNP. The occupation was
terminated on September
1951 when a peace treaty
along with a bilateral securi-
ty treaty providing the
American bases in Japan and
a commitment to defend the
islands were signed.
The integrated process of
demilitarization on the one
hand and democratization on
the other may possibly be ex-
pedited in the much smaller
Paleo-Judea. In any event, the
time is ripe for weighing the
relative merits of educational
reform; universal suffrage for
male and female, be they
Christian, Jewish, or Muslim;
free municipal and national
elections; the establishment
of local police powers, and the
gradual removal of Israeli
military personnel to securi-
ty positions.

Due to an incredible response, this
sale will be continued thru January 31.
