The DYING EMPEROR.

The emperor or Japan, Yoshihito, IS
in immediate danger Of death.
Official announcement of thu mi-
kado's death would have tremendous
bearing on world affairs. especially the
relations between Japan and the Uni
ted States.
Fer thhe Japanese believe that the
mikado is descended from the gods
that created heaven and earth" He
has supreme power over his subjects
and can declare war without consult
ing anyone. Cabinet, parliament and
party leaders have no control, no say.
except by his sanction.
Hence a change Of emperors would
be very important. Much will depend
on the whims and views of the new
emperor.
Slated to be next mikado Is Crown
Prince Hirohito, 20 years old, He is
said to have democratic tendencies
probably because he is shrewd enough
to recognize the increasing power on
Japanese labor and the slowly grow
ing Japanese tendency away from
imperialism.
what il going on IN young hirohtto's
mind?
II you knew you cOtl1O tell US muCtt
about Japanese American relations IA
the coming decades. OF world impor-
lance are the brain and moral sense Of
Hirohito, future ruler of 77.000.0U0
Japanese, who believe they become
gods il they die in battle. Banzai!
Japan is the last stronghold of alb
solute monarchy. Kings have gone
down like 10 pins.
The Hapsburgs, rulers for over
seven centuries, are dethroned. So are
the Hohenzoilerns. who entered the
king business in 1892. Russia has cast
out the Romanoffs. whose dynasty
started when girl of the Roman fam
lily married ivan the Terrible in 1547.
China, 10 years ago. kicked out the
system OF emperors that had ruled it
for 1000 years.
England and Japan are the last of
the great powers ruled by monarchs.
The English king is figurehead.
Kingism, however, is still strongly
entrenched In Japan. The mikado dy-
nasty began It's reign $50 3. @. Yoshi-
hito Is the 122d emperor Of direct line
OF mfkado-family descent.
Advancing democracy will write
"finis" on the mikados. When? It may
be in this generation.
