The Yomiuri Shimbun (Oct. 14, 2011)
100 years on, China far from democracy
辛亥革命１００年 「民主化いまだ成らず」の中国（10月13日付・読売社説）
This year is the 100th anniversary of the Xinhai Revolution, led by Sun Yat-sen and other revolutionaries, which overthrew the Qing dynasty's imperial rule in China in 1911.
孫文らが主導し、清朝を打倒した辛亥革命から１００年を迎えた。
At an official event commemorating the centennial in Beijing on Sunday, Chinese President Hu Jintao said the Communist Party is "the most faithful successor" to the spirit of the Xinhai Revolution.
中国の胡錦濤国家主席は、革命１００周年記念大会で演説し、共産党を革命の「最も忠実な継承者」と位置づけた。
His remark was probably meant to argue the legitimacy of the Communist Party, which in 1949 overthrew the Nationalist government after a civil war and built a new China on the mainland, forcing the Nationalists to flee to Taiwan.
国民党との内戦を制し新中国を建国した共産党の正統性を訴える狙いがあるのだろう。
Hu then called on Taiwan to work toward reunification, urging China and Taiwan to "heal the wounds of the past and work together to achieve the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation."
その上で胡主席は「中華民族の偉大な復興を実現するため共に努力しよう」と、台湾に統一を呼びかけた。
By emphasizing "the Chinese nation," which links China and Taiwan together, Hu apparently intended to heighten momentum toward reunification.
中台を一つに結ぶ「中華民族」を前面に掲げることで統一機運を盛り上げる思惑がある。
===
3 fundamental principles
Sun, whose original name was Sun Wen, advocated "the Three Principles of the People: nationalism, democracy and the people's livelihood."
孫文は「三民（民族、民権、民生）主義」を掲げた。
Regarding nationalism, Sun aimed to guarantee people's political rights, including the right to vote, establish parliamentary democracy and ensure the separation of administrative, legislative and judicial powers.
その一つである「民権主義」では、選挙権などの政治的権利を国民に保障し、議会制民主主義を定着させ、行政、立法、司法などの権力分立を確立することを目指していた。
Yet the reality is that 100 years after the revolution, Chinese society is far from realizing the ideal of democracy.
しかし、１００年たってなお、この「民権主義」の理想の実現にほど遠いのが中国の実情だ。
For instance, it has been a year since the 2010 Nobel Peace Prize was awarded to Liu Xiaobo, a pro-democracy activist in prison on charges of calling for the end of communist one-party rule, but China's treatment of him has not improved.
たとえば、一党独裁廃止などを求めたことが罪に問われて服役中の民主活動家、劉暁波氏は、ノーベル平和賞の受賞から約１年後の今も、処遇は改善されないでいる。
Even his wife has effectively been placed under house arrest.
妻ですら事実上の自宅軟禁状態に置かれているのは問題だ。
If the Communist regime regards itself as the successor to the revolution, it has to advance further toward democracy and political reform.
共産党政権が革命の継承者を自任するのなら、もっと民主化や政治改革に踏み出す必要がある。
With regard to people's livelihoods, Sun sought to narrow economic inequalities, but the Communist regime has brought about new inequalities in the shadow of high economic growth, namely a disparity in wealth and assets.
孫文が経済的な不平等の改善を目指した「民生主義」でも、共産党政権は高成長の裏で、富の格差という新たな不均衡を招いた。
Popular uprisings stemming from people's resentment against official corruption and social injustice have occurred frequently in various parts of the country, illustrating the strains in China's society.
汚職や不公正に反発して各地で多発する民衆暴動は、社会のひずみの表れにほかならない。
The recent series of major accidents, including those involving high-speed train and subway systems, have apparently stemmed from the administration's making light of safety while prioritizing economic growth.
高速鉄道や地下鉄などの大型事故が相次いでいるのも、経済成長優先で安全性を軽視したことが原因だ。
===
Dangerous nationalism
Nationalism was a driving force for the founding of a new China, and gave rise to extreme anti-Japan movements fueled by a nationalistic education under the Communist regime.
新中国建国の原動力となった「民族主義」は、共産党政権の愛国主義教育によって過激な反日行動を生んだ。
Japan needs to continue paying close attention to this trend.
その動向を日本は引き続き注視する必要がある。
Overheated nationalism and China's military buildup pose a threat to neighboring countries.
民族主義の過熱は軍拡と相まって周辺国に脅威を与えている。
On the other hand, Ma Ying-jeou, the president of Taiwan's Nationalist Party, said in his speech at the ceremony to celebrate the centennial of the Republic of China, "The aspiration of our founding father Sun Yat-sen to establish a free, democratic nation with equitable distribution of wealth has been completely realized in Taiwan."
一方、台湾では、国民党の馬英九総統が、「中華民国建国１００年」の式典で、「孫文が理想とした、自由で民主的で国民が等しく富める国家の建設は、台湾で完全に実現された」と演説した。
To China's call for reunification, Ma urged China to embrace more democracy, apparently because he has strong confidence in Taiwan's having realized the Three Principles of the People.
中国側の統一の呼びかけに対しては、逆に、民主化を中国に促した。三民主義を実践したとの強い自負があるからだろう。
The Xinhai Revolution, in which many Japanese were involved and extended their support, is a bond that links Japan with China and Taiwan.
多くの日本人がかかわって支援した辛亥革命は、日本と中国、台湾を結ぶ絆でもある。
These historic developments led to the current bilateral relations between Japan and China and those between Japan and Taiwan.
その歴史的経緯を抜きに、今日の日中、日台関係を考えることはできない。

欧金融大手解体 独仏の主導で連鎖危機を防げ
The Yomiuri Shimbun (Oct. 13, 2011)
Dexia's downfall adds urgency to fixing European finances
欧金融大手解体 独仏の主導で連鎖危機を防げ（10月12日付・読売社説）
Greece's fiscal crisis has led to an agreement on the dismantling of a financially strapped major European banking institution under state guarantees.
ギリシャの財政危機が波及し、資金繰りに行き詰まった欧州の金融大手が、公的支援下で、解体されることになった。
This is the first time for a leading financial institution to be taken apart since the Greek debt issue emerged two years ago.
２年前にギリシャ債務問題が表面化して以来、金融大手の処理は初めてだ。
The European financial crisis, it may be said, has entered a new phase.
新たな局面に入ったと言えよう。
Efforts must be made to prevent the financial crisis from expanding and exerting a further adverse effect on the world economy.
金融危機の拡大と、世界経済への悪影響を食い止めなければならない。
Germany and France must take the initiative in strengthening European unity to work toward a stabilization of the financial system.
金融システム安定に向け、独仏両国が主導して、欧州の結束を強化すべきである。
The troubled bank in question is Dexia, which has business footholds in France and Belgium.
問題の金融機関は、フランスとベルギーに拠点を持つデクシアだ。
The bank faced a management crisis due to the drop in the price of the Greek bonds it holds in great quantities.
大量保有のギリシャ国債が値下がりし、経営危機に陥った。
A rescue package agreed upon by the governments of France, Belgium and Luxembourg calls for dismantling Dexia and placing Dexia Bank Belgium temporarily under state ownership with an injection of public funds.
フランス、ベルギー、ルクセンブルクの３か国政府が決めた処理策は、デクシアを解体し、このうちベルギーの銀行部門に公的資金を投入して一時国有化する。
The package also includes a plan to separate bad loans and provide state-guaranteed loans to support its fund management.
不良債権は切り離し、巨額の政府保証で資金繰りを支援する内容だ。
The announcement of the bailout package led to a rise in stock prices in Europe, the United States, Japan and elsewhere.
欧米や日本など世界の株式市場の株価は上昇している。
A sense of relief seems to have prevailed globally.
ひとまず安心感が広がったようだ。
===
Which bank is next?
But a matter of concern is the fact that Dexia is not the only European bank holding huge amounts of government bonds issued by deficit-ridden countries, which include Italy and Spain on top of Greece.
しかし、懸念されるのは、ギリシャのほか、イタリア、スペインなどの財政赤字国の国債を大量に保有している欧州の銀行は、デクシアに限らないことだ。
The ratings of government bonds issued by Italy and Spain have been lowered, following that of Greece.
ギリシャに続き、イタリアやスペイン国債の格付けが引き下げられた。
If European financial authorities do not succeed in dealing with the crisis soon, doubts and fears may grow stronger, with people wondering which bank will be the next to crumble.
欧州当局が対応を誤れば、「デクシアの次はどこか」という疑心暗鬼が広がりかねない。
According to an estimate by the International Monetary Fund, it will require 200 billion euros (about 20 trillion yen) to recapitalize banking institutions laden down with government bonds of the deficit-laden European countries.
国際通貨基金（ＩＭＦ）の推計によると、欧州財政赤字国の国債保有に伴う損失に必要な資本増強額は、２０００億ユーロ（約２０兆円）規模にも上る。
The European Union announced in mid-July the results of stress tests on major eurozone banks.
欧州連合（ＥＵ）は主要銀行のストレステスト（特別検査）の結果を７月に公表した。
But as Dexia passed these tests, it cannot be denied that the EU's examination was lax.
だが、デクシアが「合格」していたように、検査の甘さは否定できまい。
===
Early recapitalization vital
The EU must reexamine the financial conditions of each bank more strictly.
ＥＵは、各銀行の財務内容を厳しく再査定すべきだ。
Each bank is urged to expedite early recapitalization so that it can prepare in advance should it suffer losses from the government bonds it holds.
たとえ保有国債に損失が発生しても対応できるよう、各行があらかじめ資本増強を急ぐことが求められる。
German Chancellor Angela Merkel and French President Nicolas Sarkozy held talks and agreed to shore up banks through capital reinforcement.
メルケル独首相とサルコジ仏大統領が会談し、銀行の資本増強で一致した。
This resulted from their increased sense of crisis about Dexia.
デクシアに危機感を強めた結果で、
Their decision was quite right.
当然の判断だ。

辛亥革命１００年―新たな日中交流の機に
2011/10/12
--The Asahi Shimbun, Oct. 9
EDITORIAL: A perfect opportunity for Japan, China to strengthen ties.
辛亥革命１００年―新たな日中交流の機に
On Oct. 10, 1911, a military uprising against China's Qing Dynasty broke out in Wuchang, a city on the bank of the Yangtze River's middle reaches.
干支（えと）で辛亥（かのとい）の年にあたる１００年前の１０月１０日、中国の長江中流域、武昌で清朝に対する蜂起が勃発した。
The uprising triggered a revolution that overthrew China's last imperial dynasty and established the Republic of China, the first such political system in Asia.
これが引き金になって、アジアで初の共和国である中華民国が誕生し、清朝は倒れた。
It is called the Xinhai Revolution because 1911 was a "xinhai" year in the sexagenary cycle of the Chinese calendar.
辛亥（しんがい）革命である。
Sun Yat-sen, a revolutionary who played a leading role in those events, also called the Chinese Revolution, sought to create a nation based on a political philosophy known as the Three Principles of the People: the principle of nationalism, the principle of civil rights and the principle of people's livelihood.
革命を主導した孫文の理想は、民族、民権、民生という三民主義の実現だった。
Although he continued the struggle to realize his political vision, punctuated by strife with Yuan Shi-kai, a general and politician who attempted to become emperor of China, and years of living in exile, Sun didn't live to see the Kuomintang, the nationalist party he founded, consolidate its power and establish a unified government. 孫文は袁世凱との対立、亡命などの苦闘を続けたものの、国民党による統一政権は見ることはできずに世を去った。
As his last words uttered on his deathbed, Sun said, "The revolution has not yet succeeded."
遺言は「革命未（いま）だ成らず」だった。
The Kuomintang government, however, lost control of the nation to the Communists in civil war and retreated to Taiwan in 1949.
その国民党政権も共産党との内戦に敗れ、１９４９年に台湾に逃れる運命をたどった。
A century later, the Xinhai Revolution is still celebrated as a glorious moment in Chinese history because it ended more than 2,000 years of monarchic autocracy in China.
そんな辛亥革命が１００年たっても輝きを失わないのは、やはり、中国大陸で連綿と続いた専制王朝を崩壊に導いたという歴史的意義があるからだろう。
The Chinese Communist Party, which has cast itself as "the most solid supporter of the revolution and its most faithful successor," organized a variety of events to commemorate the 100th anniversary with an eye toward future unification with Taiwan.
「革命の最も堅固な支持者であり、最も忠実な継承者」とする共産党は、台湾との統一を見据えて様々な記念行事を開く。
But the Communist Party has not embraced the principle of civil rights and the separation of powers such as government and legislation advocated by Sun.
しかし、孫文が訴えた民主制を求める「民権」や、行政と立法などの権力分立は受け入れていない。
The ruling party's failure to adopt these key principles of democracy has been hindering the country's healthy development and created widespread discontent among the Chinese people.
そこが健全な発展の足かせとなっていて、国民の不満の原因でもある。
The party cannot claim to be a "faithful successor" to the revolution.
とても、革命の忠実な継承者とは誇れまい。
Meanwhile, Taiwan has become a democracy.
一方で、台湾は民主化を果たした。
The island's democratization has guaranteed the Taiwanese people's freedom of speech.
民主化は言論の自由を保障し、
Some politicians in the opposition camp even argue that Sun, who was born in mainland China, has nothing to do with Taiwan.
野党からは「大陸で生まれた孫文と台湾は関係ない」との声も聞かれるほどだ。
The Xinhai Revolution still claims attention in Japan because many Japanese provided broad support to the movement.
日本で辛亥革命が関心を集めるのは、多くの人々が幅広い支援をしたからだ。
Another factor behind Japanese interest in the event is that Chinese who studied in Japan played the central role in the revolution.
また、日本留学経験者が革命の主力を担ったことも注目される一因だ。
But Japan's relationship with China has yet to shake off the damaging effects of a collision in September last year between a Chinese trawler and Japan Coast Guard vessels off the disputed Senkaku Islands, which triggered a bitter diplomatic row.
しかし、現実の日中関係は昨年秋の尖閣諸島沖衝突事件の影響から抜け出せていない。
When he became prime minister, Naoto Kan said in his policy speech at the Diet that Sun had many Japanese friends who supported his cause.
菅直人・前首相は施政方針演説で「孫文には、彼を支える多くの日本の友人がいました」と語った。
Kan's reference to Sun's ties with Japan probably reflected his desire to use the centennial of the revolution as an opportunity to start the process of fixing the strained bilateral relations.
これは、革命１００年を日中関係改善の糸口にしたい意欲の表れだったのだろう。
Some of the Japanese who supported the Chinese Revolution did so as a selfless, purely altruistic act.
しかし、革命の日本人関係者には無私無欲の人もいたが、
But many of the Japanese who helped the Chinese revolutionaries were ambitious persons driven by prospects of winning monetary gain in China.
中国利権を目指した野心家が多かった。
The Japanese government at that time adopted an indifferent attitude toward Sun mainly out of consideration to the Qing Dynasty.
清朝への配慮などから当時の政府は孫文に冷淡だった。
Two decades after the revolution, the Manchurian Incident took place.
そして革命から２０年後には満州事変が起きた。
Japan chose the rule of might instead of the rule of right that Sun called for and invaded China.
日本は孫文の求めた「王道」ではなく覇道で中国を侵略した。
Japan cannot hope to build stable, friendly relations with China if it fails to take a hard look at its past behavior and focuses only on the facts concerning the revolution that are convenient to it.
そんな歴史を凝視せず、辛亥革命のいいとこ取りをしただけでは、安定した友好関係は築けまい。
Next year will mark the 40th anniversary of the establishment of the formal diplomatic relationship between Japan and China.
来年は中華人民共和国と国交樹立して４０年を迎える。
Both the Japanese government and the country's private sector should use the landmark year as an opportunity to launch fresh efforts to build multilayered relations with China for the next 100 years.
節目の年に次の１００年を視野に入れ、政府と民間は重層的な関係構築につとめるべきだし、
We urge China, which has regained its status as a great power, to adopt a future-oriented attitude in its relations with Japan.
大国の地位に戻った中国も未来志向で臨んでもらいたい。

辛亥革命１００年―新たな日中交流の機に
On Oct. 10, 1911, a military uprising against China's Qing Dynasty broke out in Wuchang, a city on the bank of the Yangtze River's middle reaches.
干支（えと）で辛亥（かのとい）の年にあたる１００年前の１０月１０日、中国の長江中流域、武昌で清朝に対する蜂起が勃発した。
The uprising triggered a revolution that overthrew China's last imperial dynasty and established the Republic of China, the first such political system in Asia.
これが引き金になって、アジアで初の共和国である中華民国が誕生し、清朝は倒れた。
It is called the Xinhai Revolution because 1911 was a "xinhai" year in the sexagenary cycle of the Chinese calendar.
辛亥（しんがい）革命である。
Sun Yat-sen, a revolutionary who played a leading role in those events, also called the Chinese Revolution, sought to create a nation based on a political philosophy known as the Three Principles of the People: the principle of nationalism, the principle of civil rights and the principle of people's livelihood.
革命を主導した孫文の理想は、民族、民権、民生という三民主義の実現だった。
Although he continued the struggle to realize his political vision, punctuated by strife with Yuan Shi-kai, a general and politician who attempted to become emperor of China, and years of living in exile, Sun didn't live to see the Kuomintang, the nationalist party he founded, consolidate its power and establish a unified government. 孫文は袁世凱との対立、亡命などの苦闘を続けたものの、国民党による統一政権は見ることはできずに世を去った。
As his last words uttered on his deathbed, Sun said, "The revolution has not yet succeeded."
遺言は「革命未（いま）だ成らず」だった。
The Kuomintang government, however, lost control of the nation to the Communists in civil war and retreated to Taiwan in 1949.
その国民党政権も共産党との内戦に敗れ、１９４９年に台湾に逃れる運命をたどった。
A century later, the Xinhai Revolution is still celebrated as a glorious moment in Chinese history because it ended more than 2,000 years of monarchic autocracy in China.
そんな辛亥革命が１００年たっても輝きを失わないのは、やはり、中国大陸で連綿と続いた専制王朝を崩壊に導いたという歴史的意義があるからだろう。
The Chinese Communist Party, which has cast itself as "the most solid supporter of the revolution and its most faithful successor," organized a variety of events to commemorate the 100th anniversary with an eye toward future unification with Taiwan.
「革命の最も堅固な支持者であり、最も忠実な継承者」とする共産党は、台湾との統一を見据えて様々な記念行事を開く。
But the Communist Party has not embraced the principle of civil rights and the separation of powers such as government and legislation advocated by Sun.
しかし、孫文が訴えた民主制を求める「民権」や、行政と立法などの権力分立は受け入れていない。
The ruling party's failure to adopt these key principles of democracy has been hindering the country's healthy development and created widespread discontent among the Chinese people.
そこが健全な発展の足かせとなっていて、国民の不満の原因でもある。
The party cannot claim to be a "faithful successor" to the revolution.
とても、革命の忠実な継承者とは誇れまい。
Meanwhile, Taiwan has become a democracy.
一方で、台湾は民主化を果たした。
The island's democratization has guaranteed the Taiwanese people's freedom of speech.
民主化は言論の自由を保障し、
Some politicians in the opposition camp even argue that Sun, who was born in mainland China, has nothing to do with Taiwan.
野党からは「大陸で生まれた孫文と台湾は関係ない」との声も聞かれるほどだ。
The Xinhai Revolution still claims attention in Japan because many Japanese provided broad support to the movement.
日本で辛亥革命が関心を集めるのは、多くの人々が幅広い支援をしたからだ。
Another factor behind Japanese interest in the event is that Chinese who studied in Japan played the central role in the revolution.
また、日本留学経験者が革命の主力を担ったことも注目される一因だ。
But Japan's relationship with China has yet to shake off the damaging effects of a collision in September last year between a Chinese trawler and Japan Coast Guard vessels off the disputed Senkaku Islands, which triggered a bitter diplomatic row.
しかし、現実の日中関係は昨年秋の尖閣諸島沖衝突事件の影響から抜け出せていない。
When he became prime minister, Naoto Kan said in his policy speech at the Diet that Sun had many Japanese friends who supported his cause.
菅直人・前首相は施政方針演説で「孫文には、彼を支える多くの日本の友人がいました」と語った。
Kan's reference to Sun's ties with Japan probably reflected his desire to use the centennial of the revolution as an opportunity to start the process of fixing the strained bilateral relations.
これは、革命１００年を日中関係改善の糸口にしたい意欲の表れだったのだろう。
Some of the Japanese who supported the Chinese Revolution did so as a selfless, purely altruistic act.
しかし、革命の日本人関係者には無私無欲の人もいたが、
But many of the Japanese who helped the Chinese revolutionaries were ambitious persons driven by prospects of winning monetary gain in China.
中国利権を目指した野心家が多かった。
The Japanese government at that time adopted an indifferent attitude toward Sun mainly out of consideration to the Qing Dynasty.
清朝への配慮などから当時の政府は孫文に冷淡だった。
Two decades after the revolution, the Manchurian Incident took place.
そして革命から２０年後には満州事変が起きた。
Japan chose the rule of might instead of the rule of right that Sun called for and invaded China.
日本は孫文の求めた「王道」ではなく覇道で中国を侵略した。
Japan cannot hope to build stable, friendly relations with China if it fails to take a hard look at its past behavior and focuses only on the facts concerning the revolution that are convenient to it.
そんな歴史を凝視せず、辛亥革命のいいとこ取りをしただけでは、安定した友好関係は築けまい。
Next year will mark the 40th anniversary of the establishment of the formal diplomatic relationship between Japan and China.
来年は中華人民共和国と国交樹立して４０年を迎える。
Both the Japanese government and the country's private sector should use the landmark year as an opportunity to launch fresh efforts to build multilayered relations with China for the next 100 years.
節目の年に次の１００年を視野に入れ、政府と民間は重層的な関係構築につとめるべきだし、
We urge China, which has regained its status as a great power, to adopt a future-oriented attitude in its relations with Japan.
大国の地位に戻った中国も未来志向で臨んでもらいたい。

またぞろ二重詐欺 日本年金機構
下に掲載した記事をご覧ください。
この話は詐欺だと思います。
昭和２４年生まれ以降の若者（私＾＾）を最大の被害者として、年金の支給開始年齢は、ずーっと以前に５年間引き上げられて６５才になっています。
老齢年金は、
老齢年金＝厚生年金＋基礎年金＋企業年金
の三階建て構造となっています。企業年金制度のない人は二階建て構造ですが、スラチャイは三階建てです。
法令改正による団塊の世代以降の反発は必至の危ない状態でした。
まともに実施しておればフランス革命みたいなものに発展したでしょうね＾＾。あるいは中年安保反対デモ＾＾。
そこで、政府は対策を考えました。
基礎年金については、支給開始年齢の引き延ばしを完全に実施する代わりに、厚生年金については同じ金額を「特別支給の厚生年金」という名目で支給してやる。
スラチャイはこの特別支給という恩着せがましい表現が大嫌いなのです。
「後期高齢者」と並び称されるほど国民をなめきった表現です。
スラチャイの年代は、この「特別支給の厚生年金」をもらえる最後の年代だということなのです。
だから団塊の世代の最後の年に生まれた我々は、国も苦しいのだからと譲歩したというのが実情でしょう。
今回の支給開始年齢の引き上げというのは、この「特別支給の厚生年金」の支給開始年齢の引き上げなのです。
ですから、これは何をか言わんや！ 二重詐欺に他なりません。
こんな馬鹿な法案を可決させれば若い人たちはますますやる気をなくすでしょう。
いやすでにやる気をなくしてしまっている。
で、国民年金の加入者が６割を切っている現状なのです。
年金制度は、このまま景気が回復しないと遠からず破綻するでしょうね。
願わくばあと１０年くらいは、破綻しないで欲しい。
退職者はその立場に甘えず、ネット等で簡単に出来る仕事を模索すべきです。
そうしないと、日本国債大暴落の後にまず日本の生命保険会社が破綻、それから、日本の年金制度が破綻するシナリオです。
問題を他人事として、安気に構え、毎日ゴルフばかりやってると、年金制度破綻の後、生活苦で自殺に追い込まれます。今、本気でこの問題に取り組まないと、後で後悔することになります。
ウォール街デモ―「９９％」を政治の力に
2011/10/11
--The Asahi Shimbun, Oct. 9
EDITORIAL: Wall Street demonstrations manifest resilience of U.S. society.
ウォール街デモ―「９９％」を政治の力に
Demonstrations against corporate greed that have targeted Wall Street, the pinnacle of financial capitalism, in recent weeks are gaining widespread momentum.
金融資本主義の総本山であるニューヨーク・ウォール街でのデモが勢いを増している。
"The rich are the 1 percent. We are the 99 percent." "Tax the rich, feed the poor." These are among slogans that are gaining currency.
「金持ちは１％／われわれは９９％」「富める者に税金を／貧しい者に食べものを」――
The protesters are mainly unemployed people, small business owners battling to survive because banks are reluctant to provide loans and students who are unable to pay back their student loans.
People, whose lives nosedived in the post-Lehman Brothers crash recession, are raising their voices nationwide. 失業者、銀行の貸し渋りで経営難の中小事業者、学資のローンが返せない学生など、リーマン・ショック後の不況で生活が暗転したままの人々が声をあげた。
The demonstrations have spread to the capital, Washington D.C. And now, major labor unions have also decided to take part.
首都ワシントンにも波及し、主要労組も参加に踏み切った。
The bubble economy crashes and the ensuing pressures of excessive debt pushes the entire economy into stagnant growth.
バブル崩壊後の過重な債務の圧力で経済全体が低成長を強いられ、国民の間で格差が広がっている。
The result is a widening disparity in income levels. The pattern is the same in Japan and in Europe.
日本や欧州にも共通する構図だ。
President Barack Obama, who took office after the Lehman crash, immediately implemented a major stimulus package.
リーマン・ショック後に登場したオバマ大統領は就任するやすぐに大型の景気対策に踏み切ったが、
Even so, he suffered a defeat in last year's mid-term elections.
昨年の中間選挙に敗れ、
Thus, the path of supporting the poor by raising taxes on the rich has been blocked.
富裕層への増税で貧困層を支える道は阻まれた。
A huge amount of capital was injected into the Wall Street megabanks to avoid a financial crisis.
金融危機を避けるためウォール街の大銀行には巨額の資本が注入された。
But the banks, disliking government control, secured their profits by cutting back on their lending, and returned the public funds quickly enough.
しかし、各銀行は政府の管理を嫌って貸し渋りなどで利益を確保し、早々に公的資金を返済した。
This was followed by a recurrence of enormous bonuses for the bank executives.
再び巨額ボーナスを懐にする幹部が相次ぐ。
The quantitative easing by the Federal Reserve Board, aimed at bolstering the economy, pushed up stock values for a while and was hailed by Wall Street.
景気浮揚を狙った米連邦準備制度理事会による金融の量的緩和政策は、株価を一時的に浮揚させてウォール街から歓迎されたものの、
But it just ended up raising gas prices among other things.
結局はガソリンなどの値上がりを招き、
There has been no improvement in the housing market, the major source of malaise in the American economy.
米国経済の最大の病根である住宅市場には改善効果が見られない。
Unemployment now exceeds 9 percent, and the percentage of impoverished households is also increasing.
失業率は９％を超え、貧困世帯の割合も上がる一方。
People in disadvantaged positions have, in effect, been left to fall by the wayside.
弱い立場の人々は放置され、
This is in stark contrast with the tea party movement, with its base consisting of a relatively well-off conservative middle class.
The movement is against higher taxes, and its demands are sending Washington politics into a tailspin.
相対的に余裕のある保守中間層を基盤とした増税反対の「茶会」運動がワシントンの政治を振り回しているのとは対照的だ。
However, a backlash is spreading against the radical argument pushed by the tea party based on the theory of the "survival of the fittest."
ただ、優勝劣敗を旨とする茶会の極端な主張には疑問も広がる。
That reaction is evident in billionaire Warren Buffet's call for raising taxes on the rich, when he said, "Stop coddling the super-rich."
それは、大富豪のウォーレン・バフェット氏が「金持ちを甘やかすのはやめよう」と富裕層への増税を求めたことにも表れている。
The Wall Street demonstrations can also probably be seen as a manifestation of the resilience of American society to regain its balance.
ウォール街のデモも、米国社会が持つバランスの復元力を具現化しているとみることができよう。
The demonstrators are now at the stage where they are desperate for politicians to hear the voices of the 99 percent.
デモはいま、政治に「９９％の人々の肉声を聞いてほしい」と切望している段階だろう。
The demonstrators are nearly at the point of despair. The crucial question is how the politicians will respond.
これが失望に変わる前に、政治がどうこたえていくのか。
Obama said the demonstrations reflected deep frustrations felt by the American people.
オバマ大統領はデモを「不満の表れ」と評したが、
But surely he should see this as an opportunity to restore his leadership.
He ought to seize on these frustrations and incorporate them into his policies, which are aimed at achieving improved employment and better fiscal health in the mid- to long-term.
当面の雇用対策と中長期の財政健全化を両にらみしている自らの政策にこの「不満」をすくい上げ、求心力の再生につなげる好機を見るべきではないか。
We cannot afford to let the United States falter when the world economy is under duress from Europe's debt crisis.
欧州の債務危機で世界経済が動揺する折、米国までぐらついては困る。
We hope Washington will respond quickly so that things will emerge better and stronger from this state of confusion.
機敏な対応で「雨降って地固まる」としてほしい。

旧日本兵遺骨 着実な収集こそ国の責務だ
The Yomiuri Shimbun (Oct. 10, 2011)
Govt must collect remains of soldiers in reliable way
旧日本兵遺骨 着実な収集こそ国の責務だ（10月9日付・読売社説）
Many bereaved families of the war dead must have been profoundly troubled to hear the news: The ashes from about 4,500 sets of remains that were collected in the Philippines and kept at the Chidorigafuchi National Cemetery in Tokyo are suspected to have been mixed with remains of people other than Japanese soldiers, according to investigations by the Health, Labor and Welfare Ministry.
やりきれない思いで事態を受け止めた戦没者遺族も多いことだろう。
フィリピンで収集され千鳥ヶ淵戦没者墓苑に納められた遺骨約４５００柱に、旧日本兵以外の遺骨が混入した可能性があることが厚生労働省の調査で明らかになった。
Two years ago, the ministry commissioned the task of searching for and collecting the remains of Japanese soldiers who perished in the Philippines during World War II to a Japanese nonprofit organization.
フィリピンでの遺骨収集は、２年前から日本のＮＰＯ法人に委託されていた。
DNA tests conducted on some of the remains before they were transported to Japan, however, showed about 50 percent of the bones may have been those of Filipinos.
ところが、日本に移送前の遺骨を抽出しＤＮＡ鑑定したところ、約５割はフィリピン人の遺骨らしいことが判明した。
The ministry says it will thoroughly revamp how remains are recovered, a process that has largely been left up to the private-sector body.
厚労省は今後、半ば民間任せとなっていたフィリピンでの遺骨収集を全面的に改めるという。
About 2.2 million Japanese soldiers perished overseas during the war.
先の大戦中、異国で亡くなった戦没者は約２２０万人に上る。
Remains of half of them have yet to be repatriated.
その半数の約１１０万人の遺骨がいまだ日本に帰還していない。

Bones of Filipinos 'sold'
The collection of those remains is definitely the government's responsibility and must be done in a way that is beyond reproach.
これらの遺骨収集は国の責務である。疑惑を招くことがないよう、着実な方法で収集作業を進めていくことが大事だ。
Collection in the Philippines was initially undertaken directly by the government, with officials from the Health, Labor and Welfare Ministry supervising the operations.
フィリピンでの収集は、当初は国が直接行い、厚労省職員が立ち会った。
At one time, about 10,000 sets of remains a year were recovered in this manner, but the figure gradually dwindled to no more than 24 in fiscal 2005.
一時期は年間１万柱以上にのぼったが、次第に減少し２００５年度には２４柱となった。
Subsequently, the management of the search and collection project was delegated to the nonprofit organization. その後、現地に詳しいＮＰＯ法人に収集が委託された。
One reason for this was that many remains were left in mountainous regions with poor security conditions.
After delegating the operation to the NPO, the ministry began identifying Japanese soldiers' remains based on witness accounts of local residents and verification by local experts.
治安が悪い山岳地帯に遺骨が残されているためで、住民の証言や現地専門家の鑑定をもとに旧日本兵の遺骨と認定する方法に改めた。
Locals were paid cash for discovering remains.
遺骨の発見者には、労賃が支払われた。
Subsequently, the number of remains collected increased sharply, with 6,289 sets collected in fiscal 2010.
収集される遺骨は急増し、昨年度は６２８９柱に上っている。
However, according to eyewitness reports, bones of Filipinos were being sold to the Japanese side.
しかし、現地では「フィリピン人の骨を日本側に売った」という住民の証言が相次いだ。
There also were reports that graves of Filipinos were being robbed for the bones.
フィリピン人墓地が荒らされ、人骨が盗まれる事件もあったという。
Under the circumstances, it is very difficult to determine if the "discoverers" of remains were lying.
現状では、遺骨の発見者がうその証言をしてもチェックは難しい。
The suspicion that remains of people other than Japanese soldiers have been collected and handed over to the government must be addressed.
旧日本兵以外の遺骨が引き渡されているという疑惑を、これ以上放置してはならない。

Direct confirmation
The ministry says there is no firm evidence that repatriated Japanese soldiers' remains were mixed with those of Filipinos.
厚労省は日本に帰還した遺骨にフィリピン人のものが混入している事実は確認できなかったとしているが、
But it cannot be denied that the way remains have been collected is highly problematic.
収集方法に大きな問題があったのは確かだ。
From now on, officials from the ministry and local experts in the Philippines will authenticate remains at the sites where they are found, according to the ministry.
今後は厚労省職員とフィリピンの専門家が、遺骨発見現場を直接確認するという。
DNA profiling will also be conducted on remains, and discoverers will no longer be paid, the ministry says.
遺骨のＤＮＡ鑑定も行われる。発見者に、謝礼や労賃は支払われない。
The ashes of the 4,500 sets of remains that were earlier stored at the Chidorigafuchi National Cemetery dedicated to the war dead have been moved into the mortuary in the ministry's building.
千鳥ヶ淵戦没者墓苑にいったん納められた約４５００柱の遺骨は厚労省の霊安室に移された。
As the remains have already been cremated, however, it is very hard to conduct DNA tests on them.
だが、既に焼却されているためＤＮＡ鑑定による判定は困難だ。
To prevent such things from happening again, the government must exercise great care in future search and collection activities.
このような事態が繰り返されることのないよう、慎重に収集を進めていかなければならない。

Kaleidoscope of the Heart: Seek your parents' attention, but also learn to be an adult
香山リカのココロの万華鏡：いくつになっても ／東京
There are many people who hold grudges against their parents all their lives.
「親子問題」をいつまでも引きずる人が目立つ。
In my consultation room, I often encounter cases when patients in their -- let's say 60s -- discuss issues they have with their parents.
診察室でも、「８０代の親への不満、怒りを訴える６０代」に会う機会はめずらしくない。
"I understand that you were deeply hurt by what your parents told you in the past, but, see, your mother is getting quite old, isn't it time to bury the hatchet?," I used to say, but one time it struck me that I wasn't perfectly grasping the situation.
Those people are not blaming their parents -- they are just seeking their attention.
「昔、言われた言葉に傷つけられたのが忘れられないというのはわかりますが、まあ、お母さんも高齢なんだからそろそろ許してあげても……」などと常識的なことを口にしようとして、あるとき、気づいた。「この人は、親を責めたいのではなくて、親に甘えたいのではないだろうか……」。
I realized that behind the anger in their faces, every time they talk against their parents, there is a child who says, "Mom, please look at me!"
親への怒りを語り続ける人の顔に、「ねえねえ、お母さん、こっち見てよ」と親の気を引こうとする子どもが見えた気がしたからだ。
As much as it sounds unbelievable that people in their 60s would still seek their parents' attention, it may be that such feelings are rather deeply rooted.
６０歳にもなって「親に甘えたい」だなんて、とあきれる人もいるかもしれないが、この感情は思いのほか根が深い。
After all, we all need someone to whom we could totally rely on, someone who would listen and understand us, someone who would always protect us.
親に限らなくてもいいかもしれないのだが、私たちはいくつになっても誰かに全面的に頼りたい、わかってもらいたい、守ってもらいたい、と望むものなのではないか。
As I was thinking about this topic, I became interested in up to what age people long for their parents' attention.
いったい人は、何歳まで「親に甘えたい」と思うものなのか。
In search of an answer, I began reading Toyo Shibata's most recent publication, "Hyakusai" (100 years old).
そんなことを考えながら、柴田トヨさんの新刊「百歳」を読んだ。
Last year, Shibata published her first book -- a poem anthology -- at the age of 99 and it quickly became a bestseller.
トヨさんは昨年、９９歳で初の詩集を刊行し、それがいきなりミリオンセラーとなった。
In her second book, "Hyakusai," apart from poems, she has also written a few biographical essays, where she often refers to her late mother.
In one of the essays, Shibata writes about a dream she had of talking to her mother about this and that, while her mother was standing beside her sleeping bed.
「百歳」には詩以外にも自伝的エッセーも載っているのだが、そこに亡くなった母親が夢枕に立つ話が書かれていた。黙って自分を見つめている母親に、トヨさんはあれこれ語りかける。
Shibata then concluded the essay with these words -- "No matter how old I get, I'll always miss my mother."
そして、こうきっぱり述べているのだ。「いくつになっても親は恋しいのです」
So, in the end, even at the age of 100 people would still miss their parents and would still want to be heard by them.
そうか、百歳になっても、人は親が恋しい、親にあれこれ聞いてもらいたい、と思うものなのだ。
If Shibata feels this way, then there is nothing abnormal about my elderly patients.
トヨさんでさえそうなのだとしたら、診察室で６０代の人たちが、「先生、私の親ったらひどいんですよ」と思慕の裏返しのような不満、怒りを語ったとしても、おかしくないかもしれない。
The next time when a patient comes to me and complains about their parents, I will tell them the following: "I understand, after all you are only 67 -- you are still at the age when your parents' words mean so much to you."
次にそういう人がやって来たら、こう言ってあげようか。「そうですよね、あなたはたった６７歳ですものね。まだまだ親の言葉が気になる年齢ですよ」
Having said that, I think people should acknowledge that there is a time when we all need to start growing up.
とはいえ、やっぱり私たちはどこかでおとなにならなければならないのも、たしかだ。
We can still miss our parents and still long for their attention, but at the same time we should be ready to step out on our own feet as adults.
「親が気になる、親が恋しい」という自分は認めつつも、きちんとひとり立ちしていく。
Then, if the situation requires it, we should shift roles and become our parents' caregivers.
さらには、必要があれば今度は親を守る立場を引き受ける。そんな覚悟も必要なのだ。
Becoming an adult is not an easy thing to do.
おとなになるって、たいへんなことだ。

社説：小沢元代表初公判 冷静に審理を尽くせ
(Mainichi Japan) October 7, 2011
Editorial: Former DPJ chief Ozawa must come clean in light of aides' guilty verdicts
社説：小沢元代表初公判 冷静に審理を尽くせ
Former Democratic Party of Japan (DPJ) chief Ichiro Ozawa, who is at the center of a political funding scandal, claimed his innocence when his trial opened on Oct. 6.
"There is no reason for me to be charged with a crime," he said.
"The trial should be aborted."
民主党の小沢一郎元代表が「罪に問われる理由はない」「裁判を打ち切るべきだ」と無罪を主張した。
Criminal charges of violating the Political Funds Control Law had been brought against Ozawa for conspiring with aides to falsify funding reports over the 2004 purchase of land in Tokyo's Setagaya Ward made by his fundraising organization, Rikuzankai.
資金管理団体「陸山会」を巡る政治資金規正法違反事件の初公判だ。
０４年に東京都世田谷区の土地を陸山会が購入した際の金銭の出入りに絡み、元秘書らと共謀して政治資金収支報告書にうその記載をしたとして刑事責任を問われた。
Prosecutors eventually dropped the case against Ozawa, but the Committee for the Inquest of Prosecution selected by members of the public twice decided that Ozawa should be indicted.
検察が不起訴としたのに対し、市民から選ばれた検察審査会が２回の審査を経て「起訴すべきだ」との結論を出した。
This marked the first instance of a politician's "mandatory indictment" under a revised prosecution inquest law that went into effect in 2009.
政治家が強制起訴された初めてのケースでもある。
The public trial takes place under the new system of "mandatory indictment," and it goes without saying that it should be conducted according to the rules of criminal cases.
強制起訴という新制度の下での公判だが、刑事裁判のルールに基づくのは当然だ。
The responsibility of proving Ozawa's guilt lies with court-appointed lawyers who will serve as prosecutors.
元代表の有罪を立証する責任は検察官役の指定弁護士にある。
The former DPJ leader has the right to remain silent, and can refuse to provide testimony in response to individual questions.
元代表には黙秘権があり、個々の質問に証言を拒むこともできる。
Despite such allowances, however, we would like to see Ozawa testify head on in this public trial, for there is no doubt that he has caused members of the public to harbor distrust over political fundraising, which should be a transparent process.
それを前提とした上で、元代表には公判の場で正面から証言することを期待したい。透明であるべき政治資金について国民の不信感を招いたのは間違いないからだ。
At the opening of the trial on Oct. 6, Ozawa lambasted the court-appointed lawyers.
元代表は初公判で、激烈な検察批判を展開した。
And while he refused to answer any specific questions about the allegations at a press conference following the hearing, it is hoped that a levelheaded battle based on evidence unfolds in court.
その後の記者会見でも、事実関係を問う質問に正面から答えなかったが、法廷では証拠に基づいた冷静な攻防こそ望まれる。
First, let us take a look at the source of the 400 million yen Ozawa supplied in the 2004 land purchase.
土地購入のために元代表が提供した４億円の原資にまず注目したい。
In the trials of his three former secretaries, the unusual nature of their land-purchase transactions were deemed efforts to cover up illicit activity, and provided the basis for their guilty sentences in September.
元秘書３人の公判では、土地取引を巡る資金操作の不自然さが「隠蔽（いんぺい）工作」とみなされ、有罪の根拠となった。
Ozawa's 400 million yen is the starting point for it all.
元代表の４億円提供はその出発点だ。
At the ruling of the former aides at the Tokyo District Court, the presiding judge pointed out, "Even the former DPJ leader (Ozawa) has been unable to provide a clear explanation (on the source of the 400 million yen)."
東京地裁は３人の判決で、４億円の原資について「元代表ですら、明快な説明ができていない」と、厳しく指摘した。
At Ozawa's first hearing, his lawyers made no mention of the source of the 400 million yen, and at the subsequent press conference, Ozawa simply said, "It was my money."
元代表の弁護側は初公判で４億円の原資に言及せず、元代表は会見で「私のお金です」と言うにとどまった。
Ozawa's claims have changed over time, with him saying at one point that the money came from bank loans, and at others saying the money had been inherited.
銀行融資、相続遺産など元代表の原資の説明は変遷した。
We'd like to ask him once again where exactly the money came from.
実際はどういう金なのか改めて聞きたい。
Takanori Okubo, one of Ozawa aides found guilty over the land purchase scandal, was also found guilty of falsifying reports on donations from general contractor Nishimatsu Construction Co. at the sentencing in September.
先月の判決で、元秘書の大久保隆規被告は、西松建設の違法献金事件でも有罪を認定された。
What became a focal point of criticism in that ruling was the longtime collusion between Ozawa's office and general contractors.
判決が指弾したのは、「天の声」を背景とした小沢事務所とゼネコンとの長年の癒着だ。
As such, it can be said that the trial that began on Thursday may cover only one facet of a much greater scandal involving politics and money.
今回の公判で裁かれるのは、元代表を巡る「政治とカネ」疑惑の一断面に過ぎないとも言える。
Even granting that his former aides' guilty verdicts were handed down by a lower court, they still carry significant implications for Ozawa.
１審とはいえ、元秘書３人の有罪認定は重い。
At the very least, Ozawa should provide an explanation to the Political Ethics Hearing Committee as the politician who had a supervisory role over the three aides.
少なくとも政治倫理審査会の場で、秘書を監督する政治家としての説明責任を果たすべきだと改めて指摘したい。
The ability of the Diet to govern itself is also in question.
国会の自浄力も問われる。
Two years ago, New Komeito submitted a political funding law revision bill that would prevent politicians from evading responsibility by saying that their aides had conducted illicit activity without their knowledge.
If implemented, lawmakers would be removed from public office if their funding reports are found to have been falsified.
公明党が一昨年、「秘書がやった」と言い逃れできないように、報告書の虚偽記載の際は議員の公民権を停止させる政治資金規正法改正案を国会に提出した経緯もある。
We hope that further discussion takes place.
さらに議論を深めてもらいたい。

FX投資テクニカル分析ならサザインベストメント
こんにちは、タイ株式投資暦3年のスラチャイです。
3年間管理画面の前でウンウン脂汗を流しながら、画面の向こうの投資家たちと知恵比べをしました。ものすごく勉強にはなりましたが、結局利益はまったくあがりませんでした。
残ったのは技術だけなのです。
で、FX投資に転換しようと考えています。
サイトをくまなく物色していましたが、どうやらこれで決まりのようです。
それはGFT系のFX投資です。
GFT （Global Forex Trading）というアメリカの大手FX投資会社を頂点として、GFT社と提携している会社がGFT系と呼ばれています。
GFT系FX投資の特徴は100種類以上ともいわれる通貨ペアの多さです。通貨ペアとは為替レートの変動で利益を得る際に使われる二つの外国為替です。例えば円とユーロ、ユーロとUSドルといった二つの通貨です。
GFT系で取引に使われるDealBook 360というトレーディングツールはテクニカル分析を重視する方に人気があります。テクニカル分析とはコンピュータを駆使した、統計的手法ですが、管理画面上で、このテクニカル分析を利用して、為替の売り買いの時期などを読み取ることができます。DealBook360は世界中のFXトレーダーから一目置かれている信頼のシステムなのです。
あっ、ひとつ大切なことを忘れてました。
それは、GFT系では、FX取引手数料は完全無料となることなのです。
これはまだ貧しいかけだしのFX投資家にとってはありがたいですね。
サザ は日本で10年以上の実績があるGFT系のFX投資会社なのです。
サザの提供するテクニカル分析DealBookは日本語への対応が完璧で、多くの日本人FX投資家を足下（あしもと）から力強く支えてくれています。テクニカルに強い技術系の人には向いているなと思いました。
レビューブログからの紹介です。
