Hall Views Japanese Politics
y ROBERT POUTASSE
Using an illustration of the /"
ere is a perceptibke contmu- Okayama area located on the in-
, apan'spTokugawa era land Sea of Japan, Prof. Hall trac-
odern Japan," Prof" John W. ed the political developments from,
fYale University said yes- the coup d'etat in 1868 to the es-
tablishment of a bureaucratict
orians have been unwilling system of district prefectures,a
it that the feudal Toku- which is the modern government.
"Through a series of political
moves, the emperor of Japan suc-
ceeded in paralyzing the military
power of the Tokugawa shogun
and strengthened his own influ-
ence. The shogun resigned his
position, thus breaking the back of
the feudal era and providing a
way for political reforms."
Prof. Hall said the continuity
between the old era and the new
is evidenced by the fact that the
daimyo, the feudal barons con-
trolling the Tokugawa family's
land interests, were the first to
submit to the new prefect system.
"Although some of the samurai
were uprooted or ruined, the trans-
fer of power was effected with a
minimum of anguish, since the
new government was willing to re-
tain the old officials.
This move, of not imposing un-
familiar governors on the districts,
gave the prefecture system a sta-
ble base on which to establish a
progressive bureaucracy, he ex-
plained.
On a more local level in the vil-
lages, where there was a more pro-
nounced change in the structures
of administration, the continuity
was again evident in the employ-
ment of the same headmen, even
while the districts were being re-
vised around them.

Author Airs
Role, Vision
Of writers
By H. NEIL BERKSON
Special To The Daily
CHICAGO-Author James Bald-
win, apparently still suffering
from the exhaustion which caused
him to cancel a previous appear-.
ance here, told a capacity audience
Tuesday at the University of Chi-,
cago that an artist is one who
"helps you see reality again."
"The artist is possessed of a vi-
sion of a New Jerusalem," he said.
"This vision is not based on fan-
tasy, it is based on what he has
seen of human beings. What he
has seen of them proves that peo-
ple can be better than they are."
Misled by Myths
Americans have been getting
away from reality for generations,
Baldwin declared. They have been
misled by a false history filled
with founding heroes and happy
pioneers. Incredible American
myths, he said, have grown up
around the history of the Negro.
"Forgetting that you brought us
here because you needed cheap
labor to get rich, you have come
to pretend that you brought us
fr'om Africa to the 'promised land,'
that Negroes like slavery," he
noted.
Moral Chaos
"The people who have invented
the 'nigger' experience such a
moral chaos that in 1963 we see
dogs sent after children. These
people have lapsed from reality,"
Baldwin said.
"Only the Negro in this country
knows that life is tragic. He repre-
sents that level of experience
which we find in Oedipus Rex
and from w h i c h Americans
thought they had escaped when
they crossed the ocean."
But Baldwin expressed a con-
tinued faith in the goodness in
man, the ability of man "to change
the world."
"We must descend into the sea
of human experience and try to
bob up into the air of human re-
sponsibility. We have conquered a
continent but we have yet to con-
quer a country."
