when some one on his beat broke the law.
This intense devotion to the letter Of the
law on the part of the Japanese Is responsible
in turn for the second national Weakness
rigid devotion to the national caste system
The warrior or Samurai caste can have
nothing to do with the higher noble caste,
many of whom are related by blood to the
emperor's family. And so on up and down
the scale.
The third weakness Is a fear of ridicule
from outsiders. And one of Bills cartoons
makes a savage thrust at all three
It's the one that shows the Emperor study
ing plans for an air raid shelter for his palace.
Yamamoto and TOTO look on.
The drawing not-only ridieuies the en-
peror's divinity, but shows him wondering
whether he likes the idea of having to crawl
underground like a mole TO seek protection
from American bombs The inscription says
he wants to shine brightly above the world
in his reign Of Showa, or Radiant Peace.
This exposes Hirohito to ridicule from out
siders and shows. too. how the national caste
system is cast overheard in time of war.
Americans used to their own kind of car
toon will find Bills very distant cousins in
deed. Bill explains that the Japs study car
toons differently. They analyze them as care
fully as art expert would study an old
master They search for hidden barbs and
slowly but surely they get the point
Bill has to be not only subtle but pointed
as well. This is because his cartoons go to
many Japanese workers on the sugar and
pineapple plantations who don't have much
of an educations
The wording is written in Japanese by a
Japanese scholar who translates the thoughts
into sentences that Japanese understand.
American humor, or English words trans
lated into Japanese. have no punch at all and
are so much gbberish.
The Japs are sometimes sentimental but
not very often. One OF their national heroes
was the late Prince Saionji. the statesman,
who was responsible for Jspan's becoming a
world power through trade and friendship
with other nations.
In the cartoon shown on this page the
ghost of the prince is seen watching the mad
Samura, the aristocracy of Japan running
amok with no in the saddle. The words
point out that if Saonji were alive Japan
wouldn't be in the spot she is in.
Bill found some cartoons done by the Japs
themselves They were to illustrate an order
that women INDUCING in malicious gossip
about the Japanese controlled state woulo
have their tongues cut out, be disemboweled,
or both.
OF course, Hawaii is not Jap-controlled and
probably never will be- But the threat was
there and the old-timers decided the Amen-
cans had better be given all the aid they
could. Then. too Bill handed out photographs
OF the Chinese terror in which the Japs had
shot on sight. one such photograph is ex-
-hibited here IL made the Japs stop and
think. The conclusion they came to was an
obvious one. 1t can't happen here!

Even though his train going at sixty

were told they must not watch it. No mortal

fortune In this way. Hawaiian Japs
begin TO doubt whether they want to
claim any relationship to the robber
baron of the Orient.
The Japs believe, too that Hiro-
hito is a divine personality whom
bombs can't touch. But Bill shows
him inspecting plans for the latest
style of Imperial Bomb Shelter, and
the Japs wonder If the Son of Heaven
isn't a mortal just like everyone else.
The Japs are supposed to be very
dignified, too, and Bill never misses a
chance to poke fun at them. One of
his cartoons on this page shows Adj

Now he has more important job.
When the Japs attacked the island they
bombarded the Japanese population tabout
50Gt of the total) with propaganda Leaflets
nuttered from airplanes telling tales OF the
wonderful things the Land of the Rising Sun
going TO do
The Japs thought the population might be
counted upon as potential Fifth Column.
They weren't figuring one thing.
The Japs in Hawaii are rabid cartoon fans.
If propaganda came in the form OF cartoon
they would read H. II not. they would use the
paper for wrapping parcels
The early Jap pamphlets didn't boast

searched the broadsdes with avid interest. but
when they discovered there were no pictures
they tossed them away

Bill Moran stepped in TO correct that.
When the newspaper he worked for stopped
publication. Bill appointed himself q one-man
American propaganda bureau.
His reward so far has been the enormous
price the Japs have put on his head.
He explains the unusual success of cartoons
as anti-Tokio propaganda in the following
way:
You Just can't beat Japanese over the
head with cold facts. You have TO 60 back
into their customs and philosophy that are so
entirely different from our own"
For example the Japs teach that the
yellow race is just one big happy family-yes,
even the Chinese--and they are related to the
emperor and the goddess.
But Bill doesn't let any such nonsense fool
him. He points out In cartoon that the

committee, headed by Fedora

The judge. chairman of the orig.
inal liquor control commission, has
insisted that Michigan has toe

stores.

year." Thomas said. "In the alb
sence of n report now. i do not
believe the control commission
will upset the cart by making
drastic changes. Probably all

May I and the SDD's will be
reissued July I.

proposal can be submitted TO the
next Legislature.

''" +ss wsst be remembered that
two Of the three members of the
commission, including myself,
have been on the Job only a few
weeks, and IL might be unwise
for US to undertake sweeping
changes until we are more famil-

Unlike most of the previ-
Gus liquor commission chairmen,
Thomas is devoting full time to
his state job.
He is in Lansing several days
each week, and even sits in on the
Detroit hearings each weekend.
He managed his printing bust
