Membership was welcomed by many Japanese who saw the UN as a guarantor of a policy of unarmed neutrality for their nation,in addition to the security arrangement they concluded with US in 1951. To others,support for the UN would be useful in masking or diluting Japan's almost total dependence on the United States for its security.
