If we leave the organization that discusses the inter- national framework, what can we do with anything in our face? I recall how and when Japan used to leave the League of Nations. It is now more than possible to bring out the former Japan, to destroy the inter- national framework without a visionary in the future, by Self-righteous selfishness . It is a claim that lies like mud while blowing out poison gas at the root of the world's confusion.
Well, the words issued in resumption of the base port of whaling fleet, as far as I could see from the
Mr. Yoshikawa Takamori, Minister of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries, said, "I want many people to eat whales and hope that the whailing industry lasts", Mayor of Shimonoseki Maeda Shintaro said, " It will be a milestone in Shimonoseki's history", and a manager
"For Japan with a low food self-sufficiency rate, whale is a sustainable marine resoutce". ( From Asahishimbun, July 1 in the evening, reports of Sadamatsu Shinjiro, Miyanaga Toshiaki, Higashi Koji and Ogiwara Chiaki)
Minister of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries's greetings are frivolous. Mayor's " a milestone of history" is, eh, so cheap. There is an expression that "attach bamboo to tree". It means that things are discordant. I think. It may have been a milestone when the International Whale Fishing Control Treaty was banned, and as a politician it might not have been a great opportunity to build a new boom in the town. The words of politicians who can not expect ad- vanced ideas from a global perspective are always poor. Perhaps their knowledges are so scarce. The restaurant manager's discourse is logically perverted. It is important to argue why Japan's food self-sufficiency rate is low. This is a problem that must be addressed to the Minister of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries responsible for national policy that has ruined the primary industry. Furthermore, we decided to ban commercial whaling at the Inter- national Whaling Commission because we found that whales are not sustainable marine resources. The desires of humanity are limitless, and even after when full, man have hunted other creatures untill they are extinct. The same is true for whales. The inter- national framework was finally where human wisdom worked to preserve this species. It may be thought that I am saying that there is neither a body nor a lid, but whales are kind and smart creature, and it has been found that inter- family communication skills are far beyond the capa- bilities that humans inherently possess.
In a short time, the deck of the whaling vassel will be a sea of enormous blood of whales. Are we intoxi- cated by the blood shed?
