JW reply: In 1975 I wrote an honor's thesis at Berkeley on the anti-Vietnam War Movement in Japan titled "GI JOIN US". It covers the early history of SEMPER FI, an underground newspaper written and edited by GIs at the Marine Corps Air Station in Iwakuni. It is available at the Bancroft Library at Cal and I also have the first part of it transcribed into digital format and would be happy to pass it on to anyone interested. The GIs at Iwakuni received their primary civilian support from the Japanese peace group Beheiren, and also support from the Japanese Christian Church, the Fellowship of Reconcilliation and other US peace groups. The GI anti-war movement in Japan, particularly in Iwakuni, received a fair amount of coverage in the Japanese press, both newspapers and magazines. -- Jerry West Editor/publisher/janitor ---------------------------------------------------- THE RECORD On line news from Nootka Sound & Canada's West Coast An independent, progressive regional publication http://www.island.net/~record/
