Hirohito, Now on Long Voyage,
Is Center of a Royal Intrigue
Hills Trip to England Is Believed To Be Part of the
Plot to Break OFF His Engagement to the Princess
Nagako-Rivalry of Clans Forms Background

Peers, the Imperial Diet and in the
Privy Council. The Emperor has al
ways remained The nominal head of
state. but has relegated the conduct
OF the country to the two ruling
parties.
For decade, the Chochu clan. led
by Field Marshal Yamagata, has been
in the ascendancy. 1t has held most
of the high official positions and the
old field marshal himself has been
head of the Privy Council.
The secret of political intrigue
therefore, even into a royal love af-
fair, is brought into fuller light with
the explanation that the winsome
princess. who captured the heart of
the Emperor-to- is of the elan of
Satsuma. And thus came interfer-
ence by the powerful Choshus into the
heart affairs of the royal household,
precinct never before invaded by
politics.
The betrothal OF Hirohito and Ma
gako dates back many years to the
time when the two were children. 1t
was formally announced in 1918 with
the full consent of the Emperor and
Empress. The Japanese people, how
ever, had come to look upon the
match rs an established fact even be-
fore this and have patiently awaited
the royal nuptials with every pros
pect of national fetes and rejoicing
which would accompany such an i'm
portant event.
1t was even expected that some an
nouncement might follow the elabo-
rate ceremonies incident to the conse-
Grafton of the Prince as heir to the
throne in November, 1916. A. this
time massive crowds assembled and
marched in lantern paradcs under the
great crysanthemum laden arches in
front of both national palaces in
Toxic paying homage TO the old En-
peror and his heir.
Course of True Love
No Chrysanthemum Path
But the course of true love-even
in the Japanese royal family-has not
proved a path of crysanthcmums
From the moment that ministers Of
state and all the high dignitaries of
the Empire congratulated the royal
ties in 1916 the powerful Choshus be-
gan their intrigues to forestall and
eventually to break off, if possible, the
engagement Of the youthful couple.
The aged Field Marshal Yamagata
was recently charged with being the
leader Of the plot and using his official
position for that end. Now that the
Crown Prince and Princess Nagako
have both reached the age where mar
rage daily becomes more probable, the
unprecedented voyage of the Prince is
said to be last desperate effort to stop
the wedding.

were a bunch of boys from IL to 16
years old who were playing all the
instruments that go to make up an
up-to-date orchestra, from the piano
to the drums, and as far as could be
seen they were putting on their seIec-
tions without leader.
When these "old heads" in the
audience grew reminiscent to was
remembered that some 40 or so years
ago boys of that age had no chance
to learn the violin, the saxaphone, etc.
except in rare occasions. But these
boys are doing it-learning it in the
daily routine of school work-and
having the time of their life while
learning.
If these youngsters can hang to-
gether for five years they'll have a
musical organization that will be al
most professional and will be playing
the best of music.
And the minstrel show, "Good
Mawnin', Judge?" Well, it was a
scream. The boys themselves had
fun putting it over and the audience
was with them, all the way.
As a financial success the show
proved to be above their expectations
and they are to be heartily congratu-
lated. The boys, themselves wish to
express their appreciation of the sup
port rendered them.
