THE RAIN SAINT

Revolution in Farm Power
(New York Times)


 Tn spite of the shortage in iron, steel and various metal alloys war has spurred the agricultural revolu tion This revoution-the change from animal power to mechanized farming-was gaining rapid momentum when the war began While manufacture of many farm implements has been curailed even eliminated in some instances, the shortage of manpower on the farms has necessitated the making of such machines as corn pickers combines milking machines and trac- tors. The efficient use of power machinery on the farm has enabled the American farmer to perform a miracle of food production comparable to the indus trial production of the nations factories. The dem- onstrated power of laborsavng machines caused Sher man E. Johnson, head of the division of farm management of the Bureau of Agriculture Economies, to declare recently that agriculture has gone through production revolution in the midst of war and that it is unlikely to go back to the comparative handl- craft basis of the war period.
 American farmers using about two million tractors 124 per cent than were in use in l94l and double the 1929 number. Surveys prove that tractor purchases represent approximately 50 per cent of the money spent for farm equipment. Experts estimate that within few years the number of tractors will double The revotion in farm power is revealed in the increased use of corn plckerS Which have increased 29 per cent in number since l942 With a machine one can do the work formerly done by twelve The 50 per cent increase in milking
 machines in the past three years has greatly reduced hours needed for this essential task in dairyng
 The revolutlcn in farm power is of vital concern to all of us In a nation 80 per cent urban and industrial, six million farms must produce food and fibers for 138 million, plus a large amount of our Allies and the liberated nations. The demands for the latter will drop sharply as soon as thelr apriculture is restored. But nation we are far from sufficiently supplied with nutritious foods for all citizens in normal times National leaders are De- ginning to realize that the general welfare depends in major degree upon the health of the people. The revolution in farm power now going on and which will be sharply accelerated after victory is an ndica- tion that the nation will have ample food States men, socologists and agricultural leaders have been slow to see the point. But when four-ftfths ot nation does not live farms, food production is the first concern of society.

throne ride on any subway; but despite this, the Crown Prince bolted most of his staff and ven- tured underground. He insisted on buying the tickets himself and handed them to the fat lady guard ing the gate.
 But he handed them to her in bunch, instead of spreading them out fan-shape, so that she could not punch them quickly. All of which brought forth a storm of abuse in Metro French, heaped on the head of the future ruler of Japan.
 "Kimi," he appealed to one of his aides, the grandmother is talking to me. I didn't expect so much conversation. She seemed to have her back up." So to this large and irate lady, whomsoever she may have been, went the privilege of scolding the Son of Heaven for the first time in more than a thousand years.
 Once while driving through Paris in an official parade, Hirohito ex- changed coats with one of his aides, told him to look stiff and uncomfortable, and. slipped out of the car to explore Paris. The pro- ceSsion went on, the crowd ap- plauding the uniformed figure who sat bolt upright, an effective sub stitute for the Prince Regent of Japan.
 These are some of the things which had led many missionaries and State Department officials to the conclusion that Hirohito is liberal and moderate. Unquestion- ably, he is more moderate than the military men around him; perhaps also it is true that he was opposed to the war.
 ] However, Hirohito has now be- come so much the tool of the mili- { tarists, so indelibly stamped with the mark of Fascist conquest, that it will be extremely difficult tc build new and democratic Japan with him in the saddle Some ot the factors on the other side of the balance sheet will be discussed in a future column.

 Punishment of war criminals will be discussed with differing opinions that will engender ill feeling in the United States. Undercover efforts to awaken sympathy for the guilty will be effective in many quarters. Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of steady ad- vancement.

CAPITAL CHtFE

If Gen. Macarthur and Admiral Nimitz enter Tokyo simultaneously, it will be the first time they have
 spoken or conferred since President Roosevelt called them to Pearl Harbor one year ago. The two men have not been good friends. During the earlier part of the war, MacArthur, then in Australia, told Nimitz and Navy leaders that they would have to come to Aus tralia if they wanted to talk to him. ' Inside fact is that Russia and Japan had been fighting for about two weeks before war was officially declared-but the shoot ing was labelled border skirmishes. Tokyo didn't want any declaration of war while Stalin wasn't quite ready to launch big offensive. . Truman was kept informed regard ing all these incidents. Tip off that Japan was weakening came after Russia declared war, and the Japs did not declare war in re- turn. Gaylord Marsh, former U. s. Consul General in Korea, who knows the Japanese intimately, says that if Hirohito abdicates in favor Of his son-which he thinks is probable-it will be to defeat

MODERNIZING THE EMPEROR

Thus during most of Japanese history; in fact, up until just after the arrival of Commander Perry in 1852, the Mikado was an ethereal spiritual being, not ruler; and it came as a definite shock to many Japanese that their Emperor to-be should sail off to England and France to absorb western culture.
 In fact, some of the more in- tense patriots actually threw them selves on the railroad tracks in front of the train carrying Hiro- hito to Yokohama in protest against his departure.
 Naturally, Hirohito may have changed lot during the 25 years since his trip. Naturally, also, my friend Sawada was prejudiced in his favor However. the story of that voyage was one Of a young man anxious to mingle with his fellowmen, astounded the Emperor worshippers by wrestling on the deck with his aides, get a bloody nose, and dance democratically with the servants of the Duke of Atholl in the same "barbaric' Scotland. which. according to Shinto priests, is made from the mud and seafoam left over after creation of the Heavenly Isles Japan.
 Hirohito even managed to deliver a public speech to the Lord Mayor of London; and no Emperor in al the history of Japan had ever de- hvefed a public speech before. IT all Japanese history, furthermore no Emperor had purchased an ar ticle of any shape, size or form In Paris, however Hirohito in. sisted on going out alone and buy. ing a necktie, and later a pearl fol his mother.

"Mikado" means "awful-place.'
 In the old days, priests came to worship at the awful place." but they never saw the Emperor whose other name even today is "Tenno, " meaning Son of Heaven" The Emperor is synonymous with the sun and from this comes the Japa- nese flag, with sixteen spreading rays symbolic of the rising sun and the Emperor.
 In those days the Mikado was the theoretical owner of all the land and all the people and their possessions. He was their god and protector. His lance and shield came from Anna, "The Ancestral Region" Thus arose the cult of Shintoism which actually means Rule of the Superiors" or Way of the Gods" Even the word for government in Japan, "Matusuri- goto" means shrine visiting" or religion.
