Expert says Japan shouli R-
increase Third-World ai
By Alan Sembera
SENIOR STAFF WRITER
Japanese art exhibit in MSC
Japan’s biggest potential contribu
tion toward maintaining world sta
bility is not a larger military, but its
ability to assist developing countries,
Japan’s ambassador to the United
Nations said Thursday at Texas
A&M.
Hideo Kagami, part of a three-
member panel that addressed the is
sue of Japan’s changing economic
power, said pressure in the United
States for Japan to carry a larger
share of its defense cost is unwar
ranted.
Japan already has the third largest
annual military budget in the world,
Kagami said, after the United States
and the Soviet Union.
He told the audience of more
than 300 people Japan’s military
budget has been growing by an aver
age of about 6 percent every year
throughout the 1980s, and next year
it will be at about $38 billion —1.6
percent of the country’s gross na
tional product.
“This military buildup already
looms large in the region,” Kagami
said.
A strong Japanese military would
cause regional tensions because of
memories from World War II, he
stated.
Japan’s constitution limits it to a
purely defensive military, the am
bassador said.
Japan has no long-range bombers
or nuclear weapons, and pays $2.5
billion per year to support U S.
troops based in the country.
But political and economic stabil
ity is where Japan can give the most
to the Japan-U.S. alliance, Kagami
said.
A collection of Japanese 19th
Century wood block prints, screens
and paintings is on display today and
Saturday in the MSC.
The collection focuses on the his
tory of Japan, and the subjects range
from the time of the creation of the
islands through the Edo Period
around 1800.
The objects will be on display in
the new Forsyth Center in theso
ern wing of the MSC in conjuin
with MSC SCONAs confereno
Japan.
ITie gallery is open from9a
5 p.m.
The collection belongs to
Caldwell of Dallas Texas.
The display is coordinated it
American Federation o( FarE®
Arts.
fhe best way to do this, he said, is
by giving development aid to coun
tries in the region.
Japan will give $9.6 billion in for
eign development assistance this
year — the greatest amount of devel
opment aid given by any country in
the world.
This is the first year in the post
war era that another country will ex
ceed the United States in foreign de
velopment assistance.
Dr. James Auer, director of the
Center for U.S.-Japan Studies and
Cooperation at Vanderbilt Univer
sity, agreed with the ambassador
that Japan’s greatest potential con
tribution to world stability is its eco
nomic power.
“Japan is an economic superpo
wer,” Auer said, “not a military su
perpower. - ’
If Japan were to greatly increase
its overseas development aid, Auer
said, it could solve most of the prob
lems in many underdeveloped coun
tries and increase stability.
The United States should cooper
ate to bring about this end, he said,
but it also must share some of its po
litical power with Japan.
“If we’re going to talk burden
ring,” Auer said, “we shouldalse:
power sharing.”
U. Alexis Johnson, vicechaii
of the Atlantic Council, said a
partnership of this type with
countries sharing the costs
power would he beneficial to
sides.
Japanese and U.S. military
economic interests are intertw
Johnson said.
"Japan and the L tiiied &
must prosper or decline togeth
he said, “since both require fret
kets.”
Developing countries must
tinue to industrialize in ordei
open up markets, he added
Japan wants to base its own
ties on the interests of itself ami
l nited States, he said, but feel
out of LfS. policymaking.

It will suffice to say that the
group’s Texas A&M performance
Thursday night was brilliant.
Throughout the concert, the group
performed with astounding clarity
and smoothness that precious few
orchestras can match.
The concert, sponsored by MSC-
OPAS, was held in Rudder Audito
rium. The 13-member chamber en
semble consisted of 10 violins, two
violas, two celli and a double bass.
The group, directed by violinist Iona
Brown, performed three selections
from the baroque and classical eras
during the two-hour concert.
Mozart’s Fine Kleine Nachtmusik
(Serenade in G-Major for Strings)
was the first selection of the evening.
Written in 1787, the piece itself is
one of Mozart’s simpler works. The
musicians performed the first
movement with a lively spirit, before
delving into the light, romantic na
ture of the second.
The artists closed this classic piece
of music with brilliance on the lively
rondo, Allegro. Considering that the
Academy won 13 gold records for its
work on “Amadeus,” it is hardly sur
prising that the artists perform the
music of Mozart as well as they do.
The highlight of the evening was
J.S. Bach’s Concerto in D-minor for
Two Violins. The addition of Nicho
las Parle on harpsichord helped give
the piece the necessary baroque
sound. It was Brown and violinist
Briony Shaw, playing the solo vio
lins, however, that shined the most

as they alternated solos.
Bach’s concerto utilizes an Italian
technique of sandwiching a slow sec
ond movement between the fast
tempos of the first and third. The
group performed this concerto with
smoothness and exacting precision,
as well as with a rich texture.
However, the selection did not go
without a slight mishap. Brown had
brief difficulty with one of the
strings on her instrument during the
first movement, resulting in a short
pause. Despite this, Brown still gave
a commendable performance, draw
ing the bow across the strings with
fluid motion that was impressive to
watch and even more so to hear.
