Emperor Due 10 Lose
Power Under Reform
Urged by Jap Experts

TOKYO. Dec 28.-Proposed con-
stitutional revisions stripping the
Emperor Of all political power and
limiting his activities to "cere-
monial functions of the state" were
submitted to the government today
by private group of Japanese con-
stitutional experts.
The move followed by few hours
statement by Gen. MacArthur'S
press relations officer that Japan's
all-powerful Emperor system lis be-
ing destroyed-wiped out of exist
ence" and that it is up to the Japa-
nese to found democratic govern

Tokyo newspapers prominently
displayed the experts six-point
recommendations, formulated by
educators and publicists. Their pro-
posals are far more extensive than
any made heretofore on limitation
OF imperial prerogatives.
Diet Would Hold Reins.
The revisions would transfer the
prerogatives to the Diet and specify
that final responsibility for state ad-
mlniStration rests with the cabinet.
Diet approval would be necessary
for the Emperor's ascension to the
throne or appointment of a regency
emperor. The Diet could be dis
solved only by decision of plebi-
scite. Premiers would be recon-
mended by the speaker of the House
OF Representatives and the presi-

France Still Blocks

German Recovery
|McNarney Declares
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
FRANKFURT, Dec. 28.-Gen.
Joseph T. McNarney, chief of Amer
lean occupation forces in Germany
expressed belief today that 1t would
be virtually impossible to restore a
minimum sustaining economy for
Germany so long as the French hold
out against treating the country as a
single economic unit.
Gen. McNarney's view was set
forth in his first monthly report as
American military governor, which
reflected an attitude of tempered
confidence.
Further progress has been made in
rehabilitation, breaking up of Ger
man cartels and laying the ma
chinery for reparations, and there
are no immediate threats of cpl
denies or revolt, he said.
But in the basic matter of estab-
fishing administrative agencies for
Germany, Gen. McNarney conceded,
Allied control authority Is dead
locked.
! While elections in the American
occupation zone are only a month
oil, Gen. McNarney said, it is appar-
ent that the German masses still
remain aloof from formal political
life"
A more stabilized situation is de-
veloping in the maintenance of law
and order, he said, especially in the
orderliness of displaced persons. who
have been blamed for mos. of the
crimes.
Incidents rejecting hostility to-
ward occupation forces on the part
of the German populace have con-
tinued, "as is to be expected" Gen.
McNarney declared. However. such
incidents and activity were still 10
Called and largely unorganized and
did not yet constitute a serious and
present danger" he added.

Mutual Trust Essential.
The indispensable element in a
peaceful world, Pope Plus said, is
mutual trust based on the belief
that each party will respect its
plighted word and the conviction
that better is wisdom than weapons

He said the church "contradicts

Marxist socialism and atheistic COM

added:

have no interest in it. Worked
up into drapery fabrics, IT is as
