The new Japanese Constitution
which became effective last week
MAY 3, 194O is of particular in
tereSt to citizens of the United
States. in that the original draft
of this document was written in
English by the Government Sec
ton of MacArthur's headquarters
The story of the constitutional re-
form goes back to the Potsdam
Conference on July II, 1915. It was
at this conference that the United
States. Russia and the United
Kingdom revealed in the form Of
a proclamation defining terms for
japanese surrender that "the ia
panese Government shall remove
all obstacles to the revival and
strengthening of democratic ten
denotes among the japanese peo-
Pile
In accordance with this general
policy, General Macarthur ordered
the Japanese Government on Octo-
Der IL, 1945 to effect the "liberali-
cation" of the Constitution There
upon Emperor Hirohito appointed
Prince Konoye to form within the
office of the Lord Privy Seal a
group known as Constitutional
Problem Investigation Committee.
This group, which included several
outstanding constitutional lawyers.
was headed by DR.. Joji Matsumo-
to. a corporation lawyer.
In February of 1916, however, the
problem of constitutional reform
was taken over by the Government
Section of the SlsAP. Brigadier Gen.
eral Courtney Whitney. who was
chief of this section, and his staff
undertook the task of drafting the
constitutional guided by these in
structions:
l. The Emperor was to be strip
ped of his divinity and was to re-
main as a mere symbol. Sovereign
ty was to be vested in the people
2. Japan was to renounce war for
all times, and to forsake perman-
emily the right TO establish armed
forces.
When the American draft of the
constitution was prevented to ths
japanese government, Premier Shi-
dehara accepted this as his own
feeling that # the japanese gov
eminent did not accept the draft
soap may present it to the people
directly. 1t was reported that the
Japanese newspapers were not t
reveal that the draft had been orr.
ginally written in English.
On March 5, 1916 Emperor Hiro
hito issued an Imperial Rescrip
announcing to the people that i
was his desire that the Constitu
ton of our Empire be revised dras
tically upon the basis of the gener
