Dull
Seyed’s Iranian Cabinet resigned. Seyed lost because he tried to use the United States to counter Britain and Soviet Union. This type of policy was greatly detrimental to his country.
In the evening the Soviet Government invited us to the Grand Theatre to watch the 2nd amateur performances of music, opera and sports of Soviet Union technical schools. The programme was quite ordinary, but the parts on dancing and sports were very good. During the break I found no one talked to Satō and I felt sad for him. Probably the person who suffers most in the world are those who have committed a crime and knows what his crime is. Satō long knew that what the warlords did would drag the whole country into disaster. Now Japan’s day will come soon, therefore he must feel very painful mentally.
