Kawano, Autumn 1998 Japan has reached the stage where its military role in the Japan-U.S. security relationship must be expanded; otherwise, there is a strong possibility that the complaints of U.S. citizens will become heated, that Americans will connect security issues with economic ones, and that this will cause a deterioration in the alliance. Japan should recognize that if it took no more action in a Korean crisis than it did in the Gulf, it would be completely isolated within the international community, and even the termination of the Japan-U.S. security alliance could be expected. Japan was in a truly poor economic situation and, as Yoshida said concerning Japan's security, could not help depending on the United States. www.nwc.navy.mil /press/Review/1998/autumn/art1-a98.htm   (5182 words)

On the waterfront -- labor solidarity vs. federal intervention Under the rubric of "national security" the impending Maritime Security Act and the passage of the USA Patriot Act will deny basic civil liberties, imposing background checks to screen port workers, the bulk of whom are either minority or immigrant workers. The 11,000-strong union of dockworkers who move that cargo, the International Longshore and Warehouse Union, is in contract negotiations in San Francisco with the Pacific Maritime Union, a group of global shipowners and terminal operators. According to the leading maritime industry trade publication, the Journal of Commerce (July 1-7, 2002), "longshore labor costs account for such a small percentage of costs that a doubling of ILWU wages would barely produce a blip in overall expenses."
