later date and conduct a brief questioning. First of all, as you are aware, ArticleFour, NSF Regulations, *numerates the dy kies of NSF. Me distinguishing feature ofthis article is the phrase "NSF will main'Ain the peace and order of our country".This phrase is not included in police rerulations. NSF is fulfilling a vital missionsimilar to the task which was entrusted to the former military of maintaining the peaceand order of Japan. However, in order f.:.r. the NSF, entrusted with this vital task, toexecute these duties stated in Article Four, I believe that it is axiomatic for themto follow a basic of:oration:a procbdure. I wish to inquire if !OF is or is not follow-ing such a procedure, and also whether or not the substance of the procedure is ex-

TANGA: Yes.

TSUJI: According to mr observations, the organisation is consistent with our defenseplan. For example, the staff under CommissionapoRATASNI is organised similar to thatof an U.S. fibld army headquarters. Furthermore, although I am unfamiliar with thedetails, the organisation of the First and Third District Units of the Northern AreaForces is similar to that of a U.S. combat division. Do you feel that the organisationof the NSF staff end active forces as a replica of a U.S. field army serves the beet in- -tereste of Japan's peace and order?

4/0: We eel** our personnel on the basis of efficient operation.

UM; Co sae occasion when several hundred ox-military personnel rareearmarked to 'Oar. NSF service, a certain superintendent dithered all the officio:Psand instructed them as follows: °Cur nueber one enemy is the Comeanist Party.Our mumber.twe enemy is the ex-militarists. Soon a group of ex-militaristswill be arriving. We must cooperate in order to protect our leadership rights."Do you believe that we can establish an admirable NSF while such differencesexist Intel:en ea-militarists and internal affairs officials?

HATOs I believe that in order to build an efficient NSF answerable to the.people ls expectations, they must reconcile their differences and work in hanozny.

TSUJI, In that event', an error was made in selecting a superintendent who wouldgive each preposterous instructions. You yourself are disrupting pesos. Whatis the basis for considering coeilitarists as enemies?

Wags This is the first time I have heard of such insolence. It is difficult forms to answer your question at this meeting.

.1SDJI: According to wy investigations, MS of the rogimental commenders SO% ofthe district superintendents, and 7% of the section chide, the firstStaff are owlet* dilettantes. No wonder YOSHIDA claim that NSF is not a militaryorgaiisativel Doyen not feel that leis improper to select tog.; officials inacoordanos with civil service regulations?

HAIN Moor:lin to NSF NeguIntioos, theme who previously held the positions of'sr staff officers or guard officers are prohibited frmatmdng appointed asdirector general, assistant director, internal bureau senmdariats, and sectionchiefs and above of the various bureaus. However ox-ediitarists are notrestricted from of regimental commanders and below.

TSUJI: I have heard rumors of impropriety within NSF. For anmple, certaintop staff officers have been confiscating a portion of the food ration. Those

who have been discovered are conveniently rotated from post to post. Next,certain superintendents are reeved as having their mistressemosisdaging thepost canteens. A certain intermediate staff officer is said to have a girl-friend sanaging a restaurant. Local inhabitants protasis:that NSF persomnel areinept for battle but skillful in accumulating wealth. Resolute steps must be

„taken to safeguard the 830,000,000 yen NSF budget in order to prevent itsceilipeofroe4ithin. ORLAND Kal=shekls defeat was not

RAM: I remAs that lack of discipline ii the singalarprevailing within the organisation.. J'ankdoint'avorytkingthe occurance of such incidents.

TSUJI: I cannot accept such a simple answer. I expect you to conduct an ineediateSlot-finding investigation. In addition, I believe that adjustments should bemade to conform to Article Four concerning Japan's defense plan, and to Item 1,Article 12, "In Re Basic Plan and Regulations for Guards." These adjustmmnti shouldbe made with NRP and the Autonomous Police for the purpose of maintaining mem andorder within Japan. Thus, you must learn to take pride in the various aspects ofNSF disposition, organisation; training, operations, et cetera.
