"Damn Times"

New York Times is a quality news paper, no doubt.

In mid 90's one day at New York, I found an article by Nicolas someone, a correspondent in Tokyo of the paper.
The article was about the Japanese invasion to Chaina in 1930's.
He had some his own premise. He did not had wide views such as complicated sutiations of the war loads, communists, a weak goverment and dossatisfactions of the people.

Just Japanese was bad. That was a main subject of the article and it was not new, just an article
as before.

I found some strange arrangement of a big photo that they used in the article.
That was a scene with a description of "Japanese Marching on the Long Wall."
I instantly found that they were not Japanese Army but someone made the photo from Chinese
War Lord scene. A combination Photo.

I called one of the Japanese consuls in New York.
He was very sincere person to solve the problem.
He went to New York Times office, and found many, many strange photos which were fixed in 1930's.
A kind of American propaganda tools. Those activities were done by many countries, German, Japanese but such ghosts still lived until 1990's in U.S.

It was a shock.
America is most fair country in the world and New York Times is one of the quality papers in the wolrd.
This is a true story. The cousul's name was Kawaguchi.
And I would like to add, NY Time was no "damn", they announced that they would destroy all that kind of photos.
