Speak Sinhala / Sinhala Q and A
San Francisco peace coference. |
Q13 You mentioned about the Sanfrancisco Peace Conference in 1951 on your book. What was addressed by the reprisentive of Sri Lankan government for Japan? |
I carried out the story of the Sanfrancisco Peace Conference in my book.s. "Re-independence" of Japan was the matter which
could not be lacked for the modern world history.
Unfortunately it has been regrettable in Japan, almost all Japanese have
set their heart to " disregard " about this Peace Conference.
Almost all Japanese know nothing about this Conference.
@But I would like you to be care about his Address. The Japanese and the
Japanese government should evaluate the speech of the representative J.R.Jayawardene
at the San Francisco peace conference .
@His addressed at the conference.The representatives participated from
united countries were greatly impressed by his speech. Although the speech
was seldom known for the Japanese, some remember this phrase--" Hatred ceases not by hatered, but by love" Jayawardene quoted this passage from the words of Buddha.
His address was garanted by almost all representatives gathered at the
Opera House in Sanfrancisco.
@After Re independence of Japan , intellectuals and politicians of Japan sent the bust of Jayawardene to give high praise to him to the Koutoku-in Temple and it was set behind the big statue of famous Dai-butsu ( Biddha ) in kamakura.@Some yeres before, the More , Japanese magazine for female , has featured the interview report with
former President Jayawardena on this affair.
Now, you shall have the question that "what did he addressed actualy?
" The speech was talked in English. Please confirm his words which
have brought us the " Re - Independence " of Japan again.
The whole address of the Reprentative J.R.Jayawardene
