FALL OF JAPAN TO END MILITARY CLIQUE

graced before their disillusioned coun-
trymen, and that is exactly their due.
To force the militarists to lose face
before their own countrymen is, in the
light of Japanese psychology, far more
effective way to discredit and repudiate
militarism than Furnishing them through
an international tribunal.
With the militarists down and out,
who shall lead Japan on the road to
peace and normally?
Believes Emperor Should Go.
First as to the Emperor. If Hirohito
and his civilian advisers are not out of
their wits, he will abdicate. If he
doesn't, the Allies will no doubt see to
it that he does so. In either case Hiro-
hito's 9-year-old son will inherit the
throne. In such an eventuality, Prince
Chichibu, the Oldest of Hirohito's three
younger brothers, is the logical man to
assume the regency.
The 41-year-old Prince is the husband
of the Americana educated daughter of
Tsuneo Matsudaira, one-time Ambassa-
dor to Washington. He himself studied
at Oxford through 1856 and was
decorated by King George with the
Grand Cross of the Royal Victorian
Order. Though he is said to be afflicted
with tuberculosis, his mind is more
robust and masculine than Hirohitos.
Until some time before the war he was
very active in various ways and was
constantly before the public.
With the approach of the war Chi
chibu suddenly disappeared from the
stage. Since Pearl Harbor, Radio Tokyo
now and then mentioned Hirohito's other
brothers, Comdr. Takamatsu and 1t.
Mikasa, in connection with the war. AS
to Chichibu, not word has ever been
said, though he is an infantry colonel.
Chichibu Logical Regent.
There is reason to believe that Chi
chibu's pro-Anglo-American sentiment
incurred the displeasure and suspicion
of the militarists. In the summer Of
1912 neutral diplomat, who had just
returned to Europe from Japan, told
newspaper correspondents in Istanbul
that Gen. Hideki TOTO, then Premier OF
the Pearl Harbor infamy, had in
carcerated Chichibu in the Princes own
palace. This seems to tally with Radio
Tokyo's absolute silence about him. i
myself, through personal experience in
the early spring Of 1889, happen to know
that Chichibu deeply deplored Japans
new diplomatic and military orientation
under militarist domination.
Whoever may grace the throne, the
Allies will see to it that the cabinet under
him will be liberal. Who, then, shall
head the postwar cabinet? Perhaps the
best available man Is Reijiro Wakatsuki.
Twice Prime Minister and thrice
Finance Minister, Wakatsuki is better

known to the West as the man who rep
resented Japan at the 1880 London Naval
Conference, and who forced the resultant
treaty down the unwilling throats of the
Japanese navalists. A baron now, he is
the son Of INDECENT parents and self
made man, who started his career as a
village school teacher at $3.50 month.
Wakatsuki's last cabinet, in 1881, was
caught in the whirlwind of the Man
churian incident staged by the militarists
as sort Of reprisal against his "im-
pudence" to force the naval treaty upon
them. He has since been in retirement
and has had nothing to do with the mill
tarists or any of the cabinets dominated
by them.
Seventy-seven years old, Wakatsuki, as
far as is known, still is well. Six years
ago I found him alert and vigorous,
quietly awaiting the day when he might
serve to restore the nation to sanity and
common sense The secret of his good
health is archery, which he practices
steadily in the yard behind his modest
house. Archery, he says, has given him
philosophy of taxation. AS an expert
archer never strains the bow lest he
should miss the mark, so wise tax COL
lector never tries to tax to the limit of
the taxpayers capacity.
Shidehara for Foreign Post.
Assuming Wakatsuki to become Prime
Minister, Kijuro Shidehara, whose lib
eral diplomacy has been anathema to
the militarists, is the logical man to be
his Foreign Minister. This combination
will be as nearly ideal as is obtainable
under the circumstances, for financial
rehabilitation and diplomatic reorienta-
ton will be postwar Japan's most i'm
portant problems.
Shidehara was Foreign Minister in
both the first and second Wakatsuki
cabinets. Like Wakatsuki, he has oblit-
Grated himself from the public eye since
the Manchurian incident, which both
struggled frantically to localize and liqui-
date, but without success. A man OF
scholarly bent, Shidehara has been de-
vouring new books from Europe and
America and also writing Japan,s dip
lomatic history.
Shidehara's reappointment will be
generally welcomed. AS Ambassador to
Washington, he won Secretary Hughes
respect and confidence. AS Foreign Min
lister, he instructed the japanese delega-
ton to the international Tariff Con-
ference Of 1925 at Peking to urge the
restoration of tariff autonomy to China
on the very first day of that parley.
Again, when, in 1927, certain Western
powers allowed their warships to shell
Nanking and to land soldiers there
for the protection OF their nationals,
Japan, under Shideharass guidance, re-

Nations, but that the security council
should have the right to request infor-
nation on military and naval bases un-
der special agreement to be worked
out among the United Nations.
United States Against Special Rights.
8. Under the American plan, nom
strategic areas alone would be placed
under the social and economic council,
which would pledge the trustees to ad-
minister their charges in such a way as
to lead them to eventual independence.
Further the United States would pro-
vide that the mandatory power enjoy
no special privileges-that equal tariff
and trade regulations as well as COM
munications and aviation rights in the
mandate should be extended to all the
United Nations.
Britain is reported to hold that the
mandatory power should enjoy larger
measure of freedom and authority in
administering the backward areas. This
presumably means that it might restrict
immigration or bring the mandate into
its own preferential tariff system.
4. America believes that officials of the
United Nations organization should have
the right to visit nonstrategic areas at
will and report on conditions in them.
Britain is understood to favor a con-
tinuation of the League of Nations sys-
tenn, under which the mandatory power
made annual reports on its trusteeship
and was subject to questioning by COM
mittees of the world organization which,
however, would not send investigatory
missions without the agreement of the
controlling power.
Policy Not Fully Revealed.
As remarked earlier, neither of the
Anglo-American powers has publicly
outlined it's position in full. However,
the foregoing summary is believed to
cover their major points.
Naturally, these specific variations in
plan reflect the basic interests and
predictions of the two countries.
America has vital national defense
interest in the former japanese man
dates. The fact that Japan's prewar
fortification of the Marshalls, Caroline
and Marianas group in violation of both
its agreement with the League and the
Four-Power Pact of 1922, cost thou
sands of American lives and made its
attack on Pearl Harbor feasible, is not
easily forgotten here. This country is
resolved that its postwar position in the
Pacific shall be impregnable, and that
requires an extensive chain of naval
bases of which the three groups men,
toned are essential parts.
Indeed, there is an influential bloc in
both the Navy Department and Con-
gress who believe that the United
States should hold the former Japanese
islands as territories gained by right
of conquest and without any interna-
tional arrangement concerning them.
Representative Mahon, Democrat, of
Texas introduced in the House recently
a resolution providinx that the United
States should claim permanently any
Japanese islands VIII III the Chief of
Staff regarded as NECESSARY for the
maintenance of world peace" It went
further to provide that this country
should hold any American liberated is

pitfalls will be obtained from time to
time as the services release them.
The CT Bill of Rights authorized
appropriation of $5O0,00O,O00 for the
construction of veterans hospitals. Title
I of the act also specified that a vet
eran discharged for disability must
execute, at the time of discharge, q
claim for disqualification, compensation
or pension, or sign a statement de-
claring that such right was explained
to him prior to his release
Here are the other major provisions
of the act:
Education and Vocational Training.
l. All veterans regardless of age are
eligible for one year of refresher or
retraining courses.
2. A veteran who was under Is when
he entered service can enroll in any
educational or vocational training
school, not only for one year, but in
addition the length Of time he spent in
service after September 16, 1940
3. The Government will pay tuition
and training fees up to $500 year, and
for subsistence, $50 a month to single
men and s75 monthly to men with
dependents.
Loans.
l. The Government will insure pay
ment of so per cent of any money
borrowed by veteran from a bank,
building and loan association or other
private lending agency. but the insured
half cannot exceed $4,000.
2. Such private lending agencies are
prohibited from demanding security
from the veteran on that portion of the
loan insured or underwritten by the
Government.
8. The act permits the veteran to
insure the remaining part of his loan
through Federal agencies other than
the Veterans Administration, such as
the Federal Housing Administration.
4. 1t permits insurance of loans, as set
forth above. for starting a business

With We day already history, the
time is here and now that the Allies,
particularly the United States, should
be considering who shall lead Japan
following VI day. Japans military
debacle will be the signal for the fall
of her military clique, and that debacle
will come much sooner than most OBJ
servers now think possible.
The Universities Committee on Post
war International Problems, financed by
the World Peace Foundation, the Rookie
feller Foundation and the New York
Foundation, has just issued, through the
Carnegie Endowment for International
Peace, a report on Japan. The profess
sors who contributed to the report are
of the opinion that the Japanese whom
we shall require to sign unconditional
surrender should be the military leaders
who started the war;" but that "those
with whom we shall conclude the peace
settlement should be representative of
the democratic and peace-loving groups
in Japan"
The first half of this thesis goes
without saying, but the second half is
open to debate. I for one believe that
both the armistice, lie. unconditional
surrender, and the peace treaty should
be signed by the militarists and by them
only. Why?
Would Safeguard Liberals.
It is essential to the Allies themselves
that such Japanese liberals or moderates
as still remain should be safeguarded
against the odium of accepting the most
humiliating peace treaty, which is the
only conceivable kind Of treaty the
Allies will rightfully demand Of Japan.
In the postwar reconstruction Of Japan
these will be the very Japanese with
whom the Allied military administrators
will and must cooperate. To enable
these japanese to cooperate with the
AlAes as effectively as possible the
Allies should do nothing to impair or
destroy their prestige and influence with
their compatriots. To cause Japan's
liberal statesmen to sign a dictated
peace is the surest way to destroy their
usefulness as prospective collaborators
Of the Allies.
On the other hand, it is logical, proper
and desirable to fasten upon the mill
tarists the odium of signing a peace
based upon unconditional surrender
Thus the militarists, already Inundated
by defeat in war, will be doubly dis
