Tokyo, Nov. 6.
An influential Tokyo daily, the “Jiji Shimpo," rged editorially today that Japan be rearmed.
In an editorial entitled "It is Japan's duty to earm," the "Jiji Shimpo" said that if Japan's Most-war constitution, which renounced war, stood the way of rearmament it should be amended brthwith.
This was the first time since | country she will never be an pan's surrender that any in-independent or a 'sovereign vidual or organisation has State", the paper said. ublicly advanced the rearma- ent of the once fanatically ilitaristic nation.
The newspaper pointed out at geographic proximity made C Communist invasion of uth Korea a direct threat to pan's national security.

"In order to be able to call herself an independent, sovereign State, Japan must have the determination and the means to defend through her own sacrifice and effort her independence and territory from encroachment by others."
The newspaper said that it was morally wrong for Japan to expect other countries to come to her rescue every time her security was threatened while she herself kept her "hands in her pockets."
"From the point of view of international morality it is a natural duty for Japan to possess the minimum of arms necessary for its own defence. Japan must repeal the con- stitutional restrictions (which outlaw rearmament)," the "Jiji Shimpo" said.-Reuter.
