The question to be asked in relation to Japan's bid to obtain
a permanent seat on the United Nations Security Council is:

"How is Japan treating the indigenous Ainu people?"

[ As I reported a few days ago, an Ainu man has recently been elected
to the lower house of the Japanese Parliament, and has vowed to do
what he can to bring the issues of his people into greater prominence
within the Japanese society. --Gary (gst@gnosys.svle.ma.us) ]
