Splashes: "The price we pay today for the parasitic easy times of yesterday must be turned into an asset."

Early propaganda had the Japanese saving us from America's oppression. It took a long time before they discovered that there was no such thing, so propaganda started hinting about the excessive materialism of western culture and psychology. Now it's get away from parasitic materialism and learn to stand on your own feet. As Public Pulser Delfin Calianga writes, we should put up with the discomforts of the new city buses because "we cannot expect the luxuries of the pre-war days." Yes, not with the Japanese around.
