Tir 1980, when Joji was 14 years old, his folks took him to Japan. His father entered Joji's name in the Japanese national registry, thus declaring him his intention of relinquishing US citizenship.

There is no concealing the fact that the Council has got almost nowhere. has never fulfilled the high and generous hopes with which it was born. In practice it has done little or nothing to Western Europe for being an over- populated place, split up
into nationalist compartments, criss-crossed by Customs barriers, and divided into uneconomic marketa. From the begin- ning the two halves of the Council- the Committee of Foreign Ministers and the Consultative Assembly, which represents a cross-section of European Parliaments have tended to squabble. The Consultative Assembly, which has never been seriously consulted on any thing, has devoted most of its time to bemoaning its own lack of powers. Moreover, progress has been paralysed by the arguments between the Federalists (led by France and Italy), who want to found a Federal Europe, :and the Functionalists (led by
Britain), who want to go no farther than co-operation at Government level. If anything, this split has been widen- ed in conséquence of the Strasbourg. meetings There the British represen fatives expressly declared that the ||Government was opposed to Fodern- tion, although Mr. Churchill' Cabinet, it was promised, would strive to be poro co-operative with the Counell than had the Socialista, Clearly thin Cannot satisfy the Federalfats," "To hem it promlan nothing more than lihë statement fasued hực is Amatican, Torelyn Ministers last September
"Continental European community which itself will form part of a con- stantly developing Atlantic communi- ty"; nor can the Federalists consider the British attitude at Strasbourg to convey anything more than an earlier declaration to the effect that Britain "desired to establish the closest pos- sible association with the European community at all stages of its develop- ment." Further cold water has been poured on the Council of Europe's aspirations by Sir Arthur Salter's an- nouncement this week at Strasbourg that Britain must slash her imports from Western Europe in order to re- store her balance of payments. This obviously foreshadowed British opposi tion to the Consultative Assembly'a plan for a low tariff "Club" in Europe aimed at
the eventual abolition of trade barriers. That opposition mani- fested itself on Thursday, the British delegation abstaining from voting on the issue. Britain's attitude to the creation of a European federal union is not without justification. She has the Commonwealth to consider, and the dominions must inevitably suffer econo- mically if Britain were to become wholly committed to an alliance which featured a tariff arrangement applic- able only to members of the federation. On the other hand the formation of a European "Tariff Club" of which Britain was not a member would almost certainly involve the application of discriminatory tariffs against her which would gravely impade her efforts to restore her economy. The important question appears to be whether a Federal Europe can exist without Britain being an active member, and at the same time permit her to con- tinue trading with the Continent with. out having › to suffer discriminatory treatmont. But whatever can be work. ed out in this direction, the Strasbourg meetings have indicated that a federal Europa Ba originally conceived is, for "some time to come, out of the question.
