the llth century, however, the
civilian rule Of the FujlWaras
came 10 an end and was replac-
ed by an age of civil wars, lead
ing 10 military relationships by
the Shoguns, or Taikuns -
chiefs Of rival clans who gained
power by beating down their ri
walls These dlctators ruled nom
inally in the name of the EN-
perors and by theoretical APP
pointment from the throne.
In the 18th and 10Th centur-
les, when German nationalism
began TO assume forms which
eliminated to Nazism. the Jap
anese, confronted with a break
down Of feudal economy and the
rise Of a merchant class clamor-
ing for foreign outlets, likewise
began to ieel for a new impulse
to national life. They found it in
Shinto.
japanese scholars revived, re-
furnished, reinterpreted- and
further falsified-- the ancient
myths and staged great Shinto
revival which, by re-emphasiz-
ing the divine rights of the
Emperors, put the Taikuns in
the light of usurpers and thus
laid the theological foundation
for their overthrow. This came
IN 1867, after Commodore Perry
had opened the doors of japan.
Feudallsm went overheard and
the Emperors were restored to
direct rule under HirOhito's
grandfather.
Today, by a transformation of
Shinto as portentous to the
world as its previous revival
was TO Japan, Japanese leaders
have proclaimed the japanese
Emperor as the Emperor of the
World. Digging up an obscure
passage attributed TO Jimmu.
they have converted it into a di-
vine command for Japanese
world conquest.
This passage enunciates what
is now known as the Hakko
lchlu principle, constantly re-
ferred TO in official japanese
announcements as the "princi-
pie of the Empire-founding."
From the standpoint of Hak-
ko 1chiu, the Emperor Of Japan
is the Emperor not only of ia
pan but also of all the races of
the world. Judging from the
present condition Of our Imper-
ial Majesty, he is the Emperor
OF Japan alone at the present
time, but his Majesty of Japan
is the Emperor of the world, for
the spirit of Hakko Ichiu has
been the traditional principle of
our nation. - Tadahiko Imai-
zumi, over Tokyo Radio, Oct.
IL, 1912.
IF the ways OF the Emperor
were understood fully by the
people of the world there should
be no objection in having our
Emperor as the ruler Of the
world. Under the principle of
Hakko Ichiu, our Emperors
were authorized 10 extend the
rule of peace and happiness to
the entire world. The foundation
of international peace must be
based upon the Imperial House
of Japan "-Tadahiko Imaizu-
mi, over Tokyo Radio, Oct. Is,
1914.

STRAND

Robert Walker revives the in- fectuouS warmth and humor of his celebrated Private Hargrove" char acterization in M-G-M's sequel to the popular CT. adventures, What Next, Corporal Hargrove' now on the Strand screen.
 Reunited with his buddy of the earlier film, the racketeering Pvt Mulvehill the two pals again bring on the wrath of their top sergeant as they go on rampage of riotous adventures and blunders in France
 Hargrove's advancement in rank has not leSsened his agility and talent for getting into trouble. His proclivity for taking short cuts in- evitably brings his squad to the wrong place at the wrong time. He becomes a hero to liberated French village to the embarrassment of the Allied occupation authorities At the same time he becomes z hero to the mayors daughter tx his own embarrassment He is cap. tured by Nazi patrol and only turns the tables on them by fuke He permits his avaracious pal, Mul- vehill, to involve him in the swindle of a cache of valuable watches buried in a Paris cellar, and he eventually lands in the guard house
 Keenan Wynn, again comes ir for the major portion of the laughs and the private who can't resist g racket, while Chill Wills as the weather-beaten top sergeant and Jean Porter as the amorous French girls are splendid foils for the ram- bunctous CT. buddieS.
 The companion feature is "The Cheaters," featuring Joseph Schild- kraut and Billie Burke. A new March of Time, Palestine Prob lem" completes the bill.

HOLLYWOOD, Dec. 3-The career of a successful screen star, like 8 snowfall rolling down hill, constant ly gains impetus. Each new triumph makes the next easier to achieve Consider, for example. the case of Ingrid Bergman, who, Tn the past two years, has become the most talked-about actress in Hollywood.
 Every producers first thought, when he glances about for someone to play an unusually fine feminine role, is sure to be: If l could only get BergmanW AS a result, she will be offered the best parts available just as long as her record of suc- cess remains unbroken and her box office following holds up.
 Because her prestige is now so great, and because she will be free from any contract restraints with in the next few months, she need play no role unless it particularly appeals to her. She will be able to pick and choose. Still bet ter, she will be able, should she wish to do so, to dictate who shall direct her pictures, who shall photograph them and who shall write her scripts. In short the only hazard that can trip her henceforth in Hollywood is poor judgment on her own part. She literally has nothing else to fear.
 Nowhere is it truer than here in Hollywood that them who has, gets" And I'm convinced that Miss Bergman, being unusually level headed, will hold her gains for many years to come.
 IDOL CHATTER: What a pity that Hollywood glamour girls can't hold their husbands as well as they do their age Peas-in-a-pod: In- grid Bergman Gin a dark wig and Maureen O'Hara. .Off-hand, can't imagine anything more futile than an argument" with Orson Welles. who never lets the other fellow have word. Add Holly wood similies: AS hard to squelch as rumors of a divorce between Er- rol Flynn and Nora Eddington. .. Virginia Mayo is just cra-a-a-zy over horses. Wondering muse: Has Ann Miller, out of the romantic news for weeks, settled down or merely run out of mem. The more I see Jane Wyman on the screen, the more convinced I am that no producer, to date, has made the most of her ability. .In-a-line description of John Carradine: Tall, dark and rantS-some.
 At the risk of making this seem like Bergman monopoly, I want to chuckle for moment about an odd production delay that occurred the other afternoon on the location where Notorious" is being filmed. Ingrid and Cary Grant, followed by a camera on dolly" were jog ging along bridle path high in the Pasadena foothills. As they swung around a curve in the trail, | Director Alfred Hitchcock gave irate orders to 'cut." An airplane had suddenly intruded itself into the background of the scene. and com

menced sky-writing an advertise ment. And here's the pay-off: The word it was writing, in letters miles high, was the title of a picture "Spellbound," starring Miss Berg man and directed by MT. Hitchcock
 Ann Richards took time out one day last week, to give her RKO dressing room a thorough renova- ton. Behind a full-length mirror, she found an accumulation of an- cient script pages, telegrams and photographs, left there by former occupants of the room. In the lit- ter, there was one item that's wor- thy of mention. It was a penciled copy of famous poem, and on one corner of the sheet were the initials 'L. H., and the date "6-27-34" The poem was Alan Seeger's immortal T have Rendezvous With Death" A check of studio records revealed that the actor who occupied the dressing room on June 27, 1884, was Leslie Howard, who kept a rende- vous with death in the early years of World War II.
 Larry Marks, one of radios top gag writers. has on one wall of his den the framed Photographs of every stellar comic for whom he ever concocted laughs, also a big portrait of one famous comedian of the airways for whom he has never worked. That comic, spotting his picture there one day, asked Marks "how come?" T never realized answered Marks sweetly, what a crying need there was for good gags on the air until I heard one of your programs. You, in effect started me on my career and I owe you more than any of the others"
 Gabby Hayes was hiding such gloomy face behind his whiskers, when I saw him on the "Badman's Territory" set, that I asked him to explain his gloom. I've been fight ing a heavy cold and pains in my chest for a week, and then I pick up this clip of matches when buy cigarettes today" he mourned. The match clip carried the advertising of one of Hollywood's leading nlor- ticians!

 Field Marshal Montgomery struck through the air at the northern flank of the Siegfried Line on IT and IS September. The U. s. sgd and 101st and one British airborne division, all clements of It. Gen. Lewis H. Brereton's newly formed First Allied Airborne Army, landed in Holland astride the Mouse, Waal, and Lower Rhine rivers in the Eindhoven-Arnhem area. This was the largest airborne operation ever attempted, requiring the employ ment on the first two days of 2,8O0 planes and over 1900 gliders. Sev- eral airborne operations had been planned for the period following the break through in Normandy, but 50 rapid was the Allied ad- vance that events overlook the plane in each instance. The opera ton in Holland achieved only par tial success. The American 82d and 101st Airborne Divisions, landing near EindhoVen, seized crossings of the Mouse and Waa1 Rivers. The British Second Army was able to establish contact with these divisions after the second day. The important bridgeheads were held in the face of desperate German counterattacks. The Brit ish airborne division, landing in the more remote and exposed Arnhem area north of the Lower Rhine, was subjected to concen- trated attacks by superior enemy forces. It was finally forced to withdraw south of the river.
 Meanwhile, to the south, our First Army was forcing its way into Germany. Aachen was strongly defended, and a bitter battle ensued before it fell oh 21 October. On October the Ninth Army had been brought up from the western coast of France and entered the line between the First and Third Armies. Then on 23 October the Ninth Army was moved to the northern flank of the First Army above Aachen. By the end of November the Third Army, driving toward the Saar, had reduced the formidable Metz area and the defences along the Moselle and Seille Rivers. A Southern Army Group offensive into Alsace-Lorraine brought the 2d French Armored Division of the U. s. Seventh Army to Stras- bourg on the Rhine in late Mo- vember and the First French Ar my to the river between Null house and the Swiss border. Be- tween the two armies remained a sizable portion of the Alsace known as the Colmar pocket.
