WASHINGTON: Three decades after the atomic age was violently ushered in, victor and victim - in the persons of President Ford and Japanese Prime Minister Takeo Miki - met to underline the strong ties in U.S. Japanese relations. For both leaders, each still relatively new in their respective offices, it was a chance to measure each other's feelings in the wake of this spring's upheaval in Indochina. It is no secret that in the post-Vietnam era, what happens now in Japan, the world's third largest industrial power, may prove to be the most critical factor of all in determining the future of all Asia. - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
