<p> BEEFING UP YEN DIPLOMACY
</p>
<p> Following a bitter debate over the intent of its strong
antiwar constitution, Japan's parliament last week cast crucial
votes to authorize sending troops overseas for the first time
since World War II to participate in carefully circumscribed U.N.
peacekeeping operations. The move follows Japan's tentative step
of sending minesweeping forces to the gulf after the war, and
is a victory for the government. Stung by Western criticism of
Tokyo's painless pay-your-way yen diplomacy, the government has
sought to fashion a global political role for Japan that matches
its economic muscle.
