Although the World Party Japan is an international
party to establish the World Government,
it has, like other parties, the policy for
various actual problems. Major policies of
World Party Japan are as follows.
Domestic Policy
1. Political System
The most important domestic policy of World
Party Japan is to make Japan a country where
democracy is maintained by the force of Japanese
itself even if the US army withdraws from
Japan, namely to definitely establish the
democracy. As written in the top page of
World Party Japan, World Party Japan aims
to denounce the US-Japan Security Treaty
after abolishing the Emperor System and introducing
the President System. Namely, World Party
Japan aims at the USA type democracy based
on the separation of the three powers. For
the reason why World Party Japan sets this
policy as the most important one, please
see the top page of World Party Japan.
2. Economic System
World Party supports the liberal economic
system. Economic policy is basically same
as the present policy. But the World Parliament,
which World Party aims at, accepts the representatives
from countries of liberalism , communism,
and other thoughts. Also World Citizen Party
Network accepts every thoughts.
3. Government Official System
Senior officials of government of Japan are
employed through examination and interview.
Once they are employed, they are usually
not fired until the retirement age. Officials
are very excellent people but their salary
is not high. Senior officials, especially
those of Ministry of Finance, are very powerful
because of their official authority. They
have the authority to apportion budget and
give permissions or approvals, etc. So they
are treated very politely by those who must
receive budget, permissions, approvals, etc.
So sometimes they get corrupted. They receive
bribes or expensive receptions. This is due
to their personal evil in a sense. But also
the system is responsible for it. One of
the solutions to this problem is to raise
their salary and watch them more strictly.
Their salary should be comparable with the
income of doctors, lawyers, directors of
company, etc. Instead of that, they must
be watched strictly. The penalty for corruption
must be appropriate to their authority and
salary. An agency for that purpose should
be established.
This idea of the watching agency is just
an idea. This must be criticized by many
people.
4 Finacial Debt and the End of Regime
The debt of government finance amounts to 140 % of GDP (Gross Domestic
Product). If we look back the age when the national finance was in crisis
in the history of Japan, we can see that the past age and the present age
resemble very well. In the Kamakura Period (1192-1333), the Kamakura Shogunate
(Japan's feudal government at Kamakura) issued the Tokuseirei (an order
of cancellation of debts) in 1297. Thirty-six years later, the Shogunate
collapsed in 1333. In Muromachi Period (1336-1467), Shashakus (people engaged
in transport business by renting wagons), Bashakus (people engaged in transport
business by renting horses), and farmers got the Tokuseirei from the Muromachi
Shogunate (Japan's feudal government at Muromachi, Kyoto) in 1441. Twenty-six
years later, the Ohnin Riot began in 1467 and the country entered into
the Age of Civil Wars (1467-1590). In this age, Japan was in the anarchy
for more than 100 years. Each country fought to unite Japan. In the Edo
Period (1603-1867), Tadakuni Mizuno of Edo Shogunate (Japan's feudal government
at Edo (present: Tokyo)) who implemented the Tenpo Reform from 1841 issued
the Kienrei (an order of cancellations of debts) and exempted the part
of debts of Hatamotos and Gokenins (direct and low-grade retainers of Shogun),
and tried to extract a huge amount of government funds from merchants.
These government funds were, as it were, forced public bonds because they
are refunded with interest. Furthermore, he issued a great amount of money
by lowering the quality, and so the inflation occurred. And 26 years later,
the Shogunate collapsed in 1867. Considering these incidents, we can see
that the present age resembles very well the age when a regime collapsed
and a new regime emerged. Namely, in the present age, there are not only
the budget deficit but also the policies such as relief of banks that cannot
escape from collapse by injecting public funds and relief of major construction
companies by investing fund into the public utilities. These policies can
be called the Tokuseirei of present age. Banks and major construction companies
can be called, considering the connection with LDP (Liberal Democratic
Party), Hatamotos and Gokenins of present age. Then, if a regime is to
collapse, what regime will collapse? It is the regime of LDP with the Emperor
System as axis. And what regime will come? It will be the democratic regime
based on the President System.
The mechanism of regime collapse can be explained
as follows. Emperor System itself has been
continuing, while sometime Emperor itself
ruled a country or sometime appointed customarily
the ruler. But the ruler of country has changed
many times under the Emperor. The reason
why some regimes have repeated the rise and
fall is due to the fact that the Emperor
System is a hereditary system. The fact that
the Emperor is hereditary means that the
privileged classes around the Emperor are
also hereditary. For example, at the Edo
Shogunate also, Shogun or Seii-Taishogun
(the commander-in-chief of an expeditionary
force against the barbarians) was appointed
by Emperor. But there emerged a gap between
the privileged classes such as Emperor, Shogun,
Hatamotos and Gokenins, Daimyos (feudal lord)
and other nations because the privileged
classes are hereditary. The Shogunate promoted
the purge of outside Daimyos (Daimyo who
was not a hereditary feudatory of the Tokugawas
who were the head of Edo Shogunate) and on
the other hand, favored Hatamotos and Gokenins
in order to maintain the regime. Inevitably,
the finance of Shogunate becomes tight.
The Shogunate issued the Kienrei, or recast
coins and boosted the volume in order to
compensate the deficit. Thus, in this process
the complaint of people accumulated and the
Shogunate collapsed. This can be said for
the Kamakura Shogunate and the Muromachi
Shogunate before the Edo Shogunate. Needless
to say, in the present age, the government
corresponds to the Shogunate. The government,
as a policy to prevent the financial crisis,
relieves the banks which are inescapable
from the collapse or, as an economic package,
apportions the budget of nation to unnecessary
public utilities. Although banks and major
construction companies are, at present, being
maintained by these measures, it is going
to be impossible to refund the debt of
government. Furthermore, ruling party LDP
is going to be unable to maintain the power
alone. Although Japanese economy is in recession,
financial assets of people are more than
two times as large as the GDP and Japan is
the largest creditor nation in the world.
So, budget deficit is the responsibility
of the government. LDP is, being aware of
the increase in the deficit, apportioning
the budget favorably into banks and major
construction companies, because LDP cannot
maintain the power without favoring the banks
and major construction companies which are
the supporting base of LDP. Whether it is
the Shogunate or the government, this is
repeated as far as the man of power rules
a country by revering the Emperor.
Therefore, we can say that only the democracy
can prevent the repetition of corruption
and collapse of hereditary power structure.
Here, there is another reason, other than
to prevent the militarism, why we must abolish
the Emperor System and introduce the President
System.
International Policy
1. Political System
The basic policy of World Party is to establish
the World Government. The process of establishment
is written on the top page of World Party.
But, at present, there is no World Government.
So the principle of World Party is to respect
the resolution of General Assembly of United
Nations. General Assembly cannot be called
a perfectly democratic World Parliament.
But at present, it is closest to the World
Parliament. If a permanent member state of
Security Council exercises the veto, it will
again verify how the United Nations is undemocratic.
So we can say that the ultimate world political
system is the World Government based on the
World Parliament. For example, about 150
years ago, Japan was a feudal country ruled
by the Edo Shogunate. If we had proposed
people at that age to elect the representatives
to the National Diet by election, who would
have thought it is possible? But it is a
common sense in the present age. Similarly,
most people in the present age do not think
it is possible to elect the representatives
to the World Parliament by election. But
in the future, it will be a common sense
like the present National Diet. Thus truly
valuable things are accepted without complicated
theory as a common sense by society.
In most countries, tax system is the progressive
tax system, and so tax rate rises according
to the income level. Needles to say, this
policy is to reduce the inequality among
people. This thought is necessary for the
international politics. Politically powerful
country should reduce its power and weak
country should improve its status. In actual
situation, USA is excessively powerful. So
World Party recommends that a resolution
to reduce the power of USA should be made
in the General Assembly. And also the system
of veto of permanent member country must
be abolished.
2. Economic System
World Parliament accepts both the liberalism
and the communism. Both democratic country
and communist country can send the representatives
to the World Parliament if the representatives
are directly elected by people. Even countries under
dictatorship can send representatives as
observers as written on the top page.
As written above, World Party supports the
liberal economic system.
International market is moving towards the
globalization. So the situation of possession
of monetary asset like cash, deposit, stocks
and bonds, etc. should be seized clearly.
So World Party recommends that a survey to
seize the situation of possession of these
assets should be implemented and the result
should be published periodically. For example,
in the market of foreign exchange, every
day a great deal of transactions are made.
But we cannot know who are the owners of
those money. Same thing can be said about
the stocks and bonds. The situation of possession
of these assets should be seized clearly.
3. Diplomacy of Japan
Diplomacy of Japan must be said the policy
of colony of USA. Especially, Japan obeys
USA with regard to the trade between Japan
and USA. USA often requires Japan to improve
the balance of current account. But, since
Commodore Perry came to Japan in 1853 and
required to open the country until recently,
the income level of Japanese economy had
been much lower than that of USA. It is quite
recently that Japanese economy has reached
mostly equal level to USA. Until then Japanese
worked very hard and did not expect economic
aid from USA except the period immediately
after the World War II.. Therefore there
is no humane and theoretical reason that
USA requires Japan to concede for the American
economy. There are many extremely poor countries
in the world and several hundred million
people are suffering from famine. Japan is
assisting some of those countries and is
the biggest donor of economic aid in the
world. But Japan does no have enough power
to take care of all of those countries. It
is quite arrogant that rich country like
USA requires the concession from Japan. If
USA suffers from a economic difficulty such
as high unemployment rate, USA should conquer
it by its own effort. Since American Continent
was discovered by Columbus in 1492, the Continent
has been developed by the effort of people
living there. It is the result of competition
that USA had outrun European countries and
that there are still many poor countries
in the world. So USA should solve this kind
of problem by competition. Sometimes USA
and some European countries criticize that
Japanese work too hard. But this is fundamentally
wrong. In the world as a whole, there are
many poor countries although people are working
very hard. Some rich countries criticize
that Japanese work too hard because they
do not want to loose their superiority in
the world. But the world as a whole is very
poor, so people must work hard as much as
possible. Only exceptionally rich countries
can say that Japanese work too hard. If USA
wants to improve the trade balance, it should
take the policy for that. For example, if
workers work with lower wage, the prices
of products decline, and the import decreases
and the export increases. But USA unreasonably
requires Japan to concede. Or we can say
that Japan's diplomacy is too weak. USA is
a country which European people, mainly Anglo-Saxon
people, developed massacring native people.
And European people abducted and brought
many native people from Africa and used them
as slaves. They whipped slaves who do not
obey the order and make them obey the order.
They require Japan the concession. And if
Japan does not accept it, they suggest the
sanction. It is essentially same as the way
they used against slaves. These are nothing
but the tyranny of super power.
If Japan does not accept the requirement
of USA, USA suggests the sanction. So Japan
has been accepting many requirements from
USA. But Japan should not give up the dignity
of independent country to avoid the sanction.
Japan assists USA blindly and so it strengthens
the power of USA in the international society
and allows more and more the tyranny of USA.
Japan should not obey USA for the benefits
of Japan only. Or we can say that politicians
should not obey USA to get the support of
USA. Present Japanese politicians must be
said the house dogs of USA. They are same
as cunning and shameless groups in a colony
which tried to win a favor of ruling state.
Japan must not forget that some European
countries colonialized many Asian and African
countries. Population and GDP of Japan are
mostly half of USA. Japan is strong enough
to maintain the dignity of independent country
against USA. If Japan definitely condemns
the tyranny of USA from the standpoint of
humanity and justice, USA will reduce its
power. It will verify the true power of Japan
and will become the benefits of Japan also
in the long-run. So Japan should abolish
the US-Japan Security Treaty and should respect
the resolution of the General Assembly.
If Japan establishes the truly democratic
country as written above, respects the United
Nations, declares not to intervene into Taiwan
issue as far as the United Nations does not
require it, and declares again that Japan
will never invade foreign countries, Japan
can be trusted by foreign countries including
China, Russia, North Korea and South Korea.
So far, nuclear umbrella of USA has been
necessary. But now, Russia is not the threat
to Japan. China is not invading South East
Asian countries and Philippine which are
not under the nuclear umbrella. If Japan
is trusted by foreign countries and foreign
countries declare not to invade Japan, Japan
needs not have nuclear weapons. With regard
to North Korea, China and Russia will push
North Korea not to have the nuclear weapons.
But in the present situation, it is
impossible to remove the nuclear umbrella by
USA because political situation may change
in the future. Namely, in the future Japan
may be attacked if there is no nuclear umbrella.
So it will be possible to remove the
nuclear umbrella after the World Federation or
World Government is established.
Therefore, the establishment of democracy
and freedom of speech is not only a domestic
policy but also an international policy.
4. Korean Peninsula
Both for Japan and for the world, the problem
of Korean peninsula is important. With regard
to the unification of Korean peninsula, World
Party proposes a unification election. The
unification election is not easy because
of conflict of interests. The first reason
which prevents the unification election is
that northern side will not agree to the
unification election because if the peninsula
is unified the leaders of North Korea such
as Secretary General Kim Jong-Il will be
punished. So, a concession like a kind of
judicial transaction will be effective. Namely,
it is to definitely prescribe that any political
crime before the unification is not punished
and social status and assets are assured
even if the peninsula is unified. Even if
the crimes are not punished, it is not the
important problem as compared with the benefits
of unification. World Party proposes to promote
the unification election by offering the
condition like this. In case of South Africa,
this kind of amnesty was accepted. Namely,
many crimes in the age of Apartheid were
amnestied.
With regard to the case of kidnaping of Japanese
by North Korea, we should not try to
solve this problem by the force of Japanese only.
Japan should appeal to the United Nations.
Japan is offering the great amount of
funds to international organizations including
the United Nations.
5. Nuclear Policy
World Party does not adopt the policy of
possessing nuclear arms. This is because
the problem of nuclear arms is automatically
solved by the establishment of World Federation
or World Government. When India and Pakistan
implemented the nuclear test, Government
of Japan took sanctions against them. But
when USA implemented the sub critical nuclear
test,Government of Japan did not even condemn
it. Although USA has the best nuclear technology
in the world, USA implemented the sub critical
nuclear test in order to raise their superiority
in the international society insisting that
the test does not violate CTBT (Comprehensive
Nuclear Test Ban Treaty). Therefore, USA
should be condemned much more than India
and Pakistan. CTBT seems to be a peaceful
policy in a sense. But the nuclear state
has a superiority over the non-nuclear state.
Therefore, the policy to ban the nuclear
test maintaining this superiority-inferiority
relation is nothing but the policy to maintain
the superiority of nuclear state. While India
insisted that CTBT is an unequal treaty,
India was correct in this point. If USA implements
the nuclear test, Government of Japan should
take sanctions such as non-buying of the
national bond of USA.
6. Diplomacy for Arabian Countries
Japan should make its standpoint clear with
regard to the policy of USA in the Arabian
countries also. USA does not leave Saudi
Arabia though the Gulf War had finished.
There is a huge oil interests in Arabian
countries, so USA is intervening in this
area. USA is sweet to Israel while it is
strict against Iraq and tried to bomb Iraq
without the resolution of United Nations.
Fundamental cause of terrorism against USA
is in these policy of USA itself. Also these
policy are the tyranny of super power. Japan
must recognize that Japan's blind assist
to USA is enhancing these tyranny.
7. Judicial Power
In July 1998, the treaty of ICC (International
Criminal Court) was adopted in the Diplomatic
Conference in Rome. ICC is going to be born
in the near future. But there is another
vision for judicial power. This idea is to
vest the judicial power to the World Parliament.
The target of this judicial power is mainly
the organizations in the underground world
like Mafia. In ordinary system of the division
of the three powers of administration, legislation,
and judicature, these organization cannot
be judged as guilty without definite evidence.
So there exist many organizations of this
kind in the world. But this can be judged
by the truly democratic world government.
For example, if an organization of this kind
exists and is committing crimes obviously,
the World Parliament takes up this organization
as a case to be judged. If the organization
is judged as guilty by vote, the Parliament
orders the members of organization to quit
the organization. If the member does not
obey this order, he is arrested and judged
at the court. Even if he joins another organization
or establishes a new organization, he is
arrested and judged. But also the accuseds
have human rights. They cannot change their
job so easily. So they should be given time
for it. For example, this law should be applied
for only a certain age group. For example,
at first, this law can be applied for only
the age group below 15 years old. Next year,
the law is applied for the age group below
16 years old. In this way, after some years,
every people will be covered by this law.
Or certain period, for example 10 years,
should be given to those judged guilty. Then
they can change their job within 10 years.
This kind of judicial power is very dangerous
in some cases because this power can be exercised
against political opponents. So this kind
of judicial power is possible only after
the truly democratic world government is
established and the war is terminated completely.
This idea of judicial power is just an idea.
This must be considered and discussed by
many people.
8. Mahatma Gandhi Initiative
Mahatma Gandhi led India to independence
by the policy of Non-Violence & Disobedience.
This policy is applicable to the present
situation of world politics. Nuclear states
are dominant because of their military power.
But non-nuclear states need not rely on the
military power. Non-nuclear states can unite
and put sanctions against nuclear-states.
For example, non-nuclear states can put high
tariff rate barrier against nuclear states.
Or, they can boycott the products from the
nuclear-states. Like this, non-nuclear states
can, by uniting together, insist their opinion
against nuclear-states. So this policy was
named, with the respect for Mahatma Gandhi,
"Mahatma Gandhi Initiative." Of
course, Mahatma Gandhi Initiative is applicable
not only for the nuclear states but also
for other militarily or economically
powerful states. For example, if some countries
attack other countries without resolution of
United Nations, products from those
countries should be boycotted or trade should
be restricted by tariff barrier by the
Mahatma Gandhi Initiative.
