terday at a luncheon meeting of

there will be another hate movement

meant one similar to a movement
in the early ls20,s following the

one-fourth to one-fifth of the white,
protestant, adult males in this coun-
try belonged to the Ku Klux Klan.
He said similar conditions exist
now, and told approximately so

in Washington that such a move
ment could be avoided only if all
the educational forces of the coun-
try-ministry, press, radio. moving
pictures, in addition to formal edu-
cational institutions-co-operate in
a concerted effort to promote toler-
ance, understanding and respect
among racial and religious groups,
He said there were those who
claimed that economic self -sufh-
cheney and political equality for the
people of the country would bring
about this aim, but they were only
half right. Without understanding
tolerance and mutual respect he
said, the other two conditions which
would help prevent the expected
hate movement would be impossible
to achieve.

citizens" he said, I'VE may be able
to prevent the movement from

Hirohito Abdication
Report Ground|ess,
Konoye Declares
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
TOKYO, Sept. GA member
of the Japanese royal family,
Prince Fumimaro Konoye, as
serted today there was "abso-
lutely nothing" to a report that
Emperor Hirohito would abdi-
cate the throne.
Washington reports have said
some diplomatic authorities in
the capital believed the Emperor
would soon quit in favor of his
young son, Akihito)
Prince Konoye, former premier OF
Japan and a minister without port
folio in the surrender cabinet, told
a small group of correspondents
that the abdication of Hirohito
would "be disastrous for Japan"
Now vice premier of Japan, Ko-
noye said abdication of the Emperor
is impossible under the constitution
at present. A session of the Diet
would be required to amend the
constitution to provide for any abdi-
cation. Konoye said he had heard
nothing of any movement in that
direction.
Regent Would Take Place.
The Emperor could step down
from the throne because of illness,
the vice premier said, in which case
the constitution provides for ap-
polntment of regent to take his
place. The regent would serve until
the emperor's death. then the crown
prince would inherit the throne:
Konoye said this procedure was
followed in the final illness of Hiro-
hito's father in 1924. The prince
acknowledged that such a program
could be followed at present If Hiro-
hito intended to retire.
Konoye said that in his opinion
abdication of the Emperor would be
disastrous" because the Emperor
is the major factor holding the
country together. Without the En-
peror as symbol, he said, rival
factions likely would disrupt public
life.
Proceeding With Election.
The vice premier said the cabinet
was proceeding with plans for a new
election in January on the basis
of existing Japanese election laws,
because it had not yet received any
other directive from Gen. Mac
Arthur. There is little prospect that
woman suffrage would be achieved
by then, he added, terming it not
impossible but impractical.
Asked what steps the cabinet has
taken to solve food, housing and
other problems by winter, Konoye
said it had started plans to con-
struct 100000 new homes. There
has been no progress toward food
importations, he reported, because
of a Serious shipping shortage and
other transportation difficulties"
Thousands" probably will starve
in Japan this winter, he asserted.
He asked correspondents their opin-
ion of his nations chances for secur-
ing food imports from the United
States. Correspondents told him
they thought it extremely unlikely
that Americans would send any food
to Japan.

funded at l or 2 per cent, such a
loan might come within the scope
of British ability to pay, it is
believed.
At the outset of their conversa-
tionS here, the Earl of Halifax, the
British Ambassador. and Loro
Keynes, British treasury adviser
stated that they did not desire a
loan. They recalled the acrimonious
debate that developed between Lon
don and Washington over post
World War debts, and said they die
not want to contact an obligation
for which British ability to pay
might be in doubt.
Grant in Aid" Seen Blocked.
However, American officials have
become convinced that a grant in
aid" of between $4,000 ,O0O, 900 and
5000, 100000 which the British ap-
peared to have in mind is political
impossibility, as it would not be
approved by Congress. Hence the
question of aid appears to have
narrowed down to determining the
most liberal terms on which loan
may be offered.
AS noted, there are those in the
American group who believe that q
physical gold loan may be the best
answer to the problem.
Meanwhile, it was reported ir
administration circles that a plan
to lower interest rates on foreign
loans extended by the Export I'm.
port Bank had been discussed al
q White House cabinet meeting
yesterday. An authoritative source
said that as a result the way wa.
now clear for the extension Of loan.

lands.
Interest rates now charged b,

loan, but generally range arouns
3h per cent.

100000 loan to Norway had beer
approved by the Export -Impor
Bank, but had not yet been &C.
