Good morning, sir.
Good morning, Court.
1:17:23
Morning, gentlemen. I've been going
over these additional suggestions...
1:17:26
from the State Department
on the occupation.
1:17:29
I have to work them in with our
own task force recommendations.
1:17:32
General Marquat, what's
happening with land reform?
1:17:35
The landowners are having
difficulty with their tenant farmers.
1:17:38
Oh, they are? I don't want to ever
hear the word "tenant farmer" again.
1:17:42
I want these privileged landowners
stripped of their holdings.
1:17:45
We'll break up these great
estates. Yes, sir, but...
1:17:48
They've been squeezing the
farmers dry far too long.
1:17:52
But, sir, they're
very strong.
1:17:55
They may not be
as strong as they think.
1:17:57
And the right-wing industrialists are
the fellows who led this country to ruin.
1:18:01
I want them expunged.
1:18:03
"Expunged, sir?
Don't you think that you...
1:18:06
All in the best possible
legal language, of course.
1:18:11
I want to see a labor
movement take root.
1:18:14
Labor movement?
That's right.
1:18:16
The workers must have a strong
voice in the means of production.
1:18:20
General, pardon me, but this
reminds me somewhat of...
1:18:24
Well, it's like...
Like what?
1:18:27
Like the New Deal.
1:18:31
Ah. Well, this is Japan,
not America.
1:18:35
But considering
her fascist past...
1:18:37
it might be good to move her just a
little left of center, don't you agree?
1:18:41
Yes, sir. Of course, we
wouldn't call it the New Deal.
1:18:43
No, sir.
1:18:45
Now...
1:18:48
Japanese women.
What about them?
1:18:50
They must be given the vote.
1:18:52
The men are not gonna like that.
Neither did our men at first.
1:18:56
General, I'm sorry, but it's too much to expect
a feudal country like Japan...
