Abstract

I should declare initially that I have no special knowledge that would justify my commenting on the attitude of the British public at large towards Japan in the years just after the war. I recall that, when I was in Japan in the early 1950s, a Japanese journalist asked me if he was right in thinking that the chief grudges of the British against the Japanese had their source in, first, the treatment of British prisoners in South East Asia, and, second, the inroads that Japan had made into the British textile markets overseas. I told him that he was probably correct, and he then went on, with characteristic realism, to ask me to tell him, first, the number of such prisoners now returned to Britain, and, second, the postwar importance of the cotton industry to the British economy.
