=e which should accrue to the Japanese investigators and that there would be no repetition of what SCaP and Washington had done in 1945. In 1945 SCAP purged Dr. Tsuguki for his past political and war records. This is generally accepted as the reason he is Emeritus Professor of Surgery at Tokyo University. It does not explain why, following the "peace treaty", he was not given his rightful position of Professor of Surgery at Tokyo University. It was believed Dr. Tsuzuki would never be able to re-visit the United States because of American animosity; at the time of the writing of this report, Dr. Tsuzuki is in the United States. In the opinion of the writers of this report, Dr. Tsuzuki is the most powerful figure in Japanese medicine. He hes attained this position through surgical skill, investigative talent, and shrewd, powerful politicing. Ina country where most industries and professions are dominated by a single individual, Dr. Tsuzuki dominates medicine. It would be a tragic mistake. for the United Ststes to believe that the sop of a trip through the United States would alter his determined course and judgment, whatever they may be. ~ ils also regretable tht many of the moves the American group made only strengthened Dr. Tsuzuki's power. The first official message from washington to Dr. Morton requested him to contact Tokyo University Hospital. This meant contacting Dr. Tsuzuki, which immediately gave him a psychological advantage over his confreres, since it showed that the chief civilian American medical group in Japan had come to him. When Mr. kisenbud was flying to Japan, a telegram was sent to Dr. Tsuzguki informing him of the fact; no other Japanese was so informed.
