HOWEVER SUPERFICIAL

many of the political reforms since the surrender
the fact remains that under the occupation, the ia
pauese people have been able to enjoy greater
of political freedom and civil justice than they
have ever known before.
This is important for 1t is only through the con-
tiued and full enjoyment of these political and civil
rights that the liberal and progressive forces
can win popular support and political power Per-
haps the biggest problem for the peacemakers will be
devise method of control which will insure these
rights for the Japanese people when General Mac
Arthur end his men withdraw from Japan The
Allied postoccupation AIMS in Japan should make it
possible for Japanese reformers to have the right
to organize and educate their fellow citizens in the
democratic way of life without suppression.

WHAT THE EMPEROR

:. had announced to his people was something of
precedent Under this Constitution the Emperor bt
came mere Symbol of state. 1t placed soveregnt
squarely in the hands of the people AS General Mac
Arthur stated It:
ut 1.-THE Consttution) establishes govern
mental authority with the predominant power
vested in an elected legislature as representa-
tive OF the people, but with adequate check
upon that power, well upon the power of
the executive and the judiciary, to insure that
no branch of government may become autocra-
tic or arbitrary in the administration Of affairs
of state"

Japan'S New Constitution
Gives People A New Hope
by hideo hoshide
A YEAR AGO THIS WEEK

1
- japan underwent great social and political re-
FORM The Constitution, which went into effect
On May 8, 1947, gave the Japanese people the same
political and civil rights as are enjoyed by the peoples
Of Western denocracies. 1t gave them these rights
on paper, and under the supervision of the Supreme
Commend for the Allied Powers (SCAP), the ia
people do in fact enjoy these rights in large
measure. However, skeptics of the Japanese reform
question the lasting effect the new Constitution if
soap control were to be withdrawn and no eff
ecve Allied supervisory body set up to replace it.
BY studying the events which led up to the pro-
mitigation of the new Constitution We can speculate
on what lasting effect, if any, the new constitutional
reform will have upon the Japanese.
AT THE POTSDAM CONFERENCE
ION July II, 1945, the Big Three the United
States, Russia and the United Kingdom, de-
ciared in their terms for surrender that the
japanese Government shall ill OBJ
stacles to the revival and strengthening of de-
mocratc tendencies among the japanese peo-
pIe."
After General Macarthur ordered the japanese
Government Oct 1915 to effect the liberalization
of the Constitution and after the Emperor appointed
Prince Konoye to head the Constitutional Problem
Investigation Committee the Government Section of
the soap under Brigader General Courtney Whitney
took the task of drafting the constitution
Premier shidehara accepted the American draft
of the Constitution his own and on March S. 1e46
Emperor Hrohito issued Imperial Rescript declar-
ing that it his desire that the Constitution of
Empire be revised drastically upon the basis of the
general will of the people and the principle of respect
for the fundamental human rights"

COMMUNITY ORGANIZATION

This column has, several times
in the past, devoted itself at some
length upon the topic of the de-
Inability of end need for, a gen.
eral and representative organiza-
ton in the local Japanese commu-
nifty. It now appears that, at long
asst, something will be done to
tart the ball rolling.
A small group of civic-minded in
dividuals, acting unofficially, is
quietly sounding out public opin-
'on on the subject, and approach
ing the various organizations and
groups in our community for their
ideas and reactions. If the general
response is favorable, town
meeting" will be called, at which
time concrete plans will be laid for
a central community organization.
While present plans are only
tentative, it is the consensus of in
terested parties that any communi-
ty group to be organized should
be as large and inclusive as possible,
'hus Gliding the group to be truly
representative of the community.
For example, membership in the
community organization could be
conferred upon any person interest
ed enough to join. A modest men,
bership fee could be charged on
yearly basis, which would give the
organization the initial financial
backing with which to tackle the
many civic and welfare projects
which it would be called upon to
handle.
The arguments for such an or
ganization are too we'll known to
be repeated over and over. It is
to be hoped that this latest attempt
to fulfill community need will not
expire through neglect and indif-
ference on the part of the general
public, when there is so much that
should and can be done for COM
munity welfare by such an organ
ization.

CIV. High and Eastern
Switch Attention 10
Title Struggles
By Bill Fuchs

The George Washington and East
ern High School baseball teams,
which met yesterday in a top-notch
affair at Alexandria, will turn their
attention to league activity tomor-
row, with Eastern playing at Cen
trail in District public high series
and the Presidents invading Fairfax
in Northern Virginia League tilt.
The Presidents, who blanked Fair
fax, SO, in an earlier tilt, will be
favored over Fairfax when the two
rivals meet under the lights tomor-
row night. George Washington has
a record Of nine wins against two
losses and a couple Of important
factors involved have been the
hitting of Center Fielder Forte
Thompson and the hurting Of
Tommy Pavone.
Forte didn't play the first three
games" Coach Ray Sanger said yes
terday, but I put him in as a
pinch-hitter twice and he came
through both times. I had been
using my pitchers in the outfield
but Forte's hitting impressed me
and gave him a place Right now
he's leading the club with an aver
age Of about $50"
Southpaw Pavone, who held
Eastern to five hits as the Presi-
dents won. IA, has two years to go
at George Washington. In previous
games he had chalked up two
hitters against st. Johns and Epis-
copal and, according to Sanger, has
a promising mound future, provided
he stays in shape. Pavone, who
stands 5-10 and weighs 200 pounds,
has earned the nickname "Bobo''
because of his physical likeness to
Bobo Newsome. The fact that he
clowns a lot like the big-leaguer
has made the name stick.
Hits by Sal De Giorgi, Spike
Bauroth and Harry Kallas in the
third inning gave Eastern a Sc
lead, but in George Washington's
third, Thompson tripled with Pavone
aboard and scored when Pitcher Ed
Kline baked to give the Presidents
some spark.
Pavone retired the side In order
in every inning except the third and
sixth, when De Giorgi doubled and
scored on Bill Kallas' single. A
perfect squeeze bunt by Substitute
Fielder Don Hanback, climaxed a
five-run outburst by George Wash
ington in the sixth. Billy Rorer
Jim Gahagen and Buzzy Brown all
collected hits off Ed Kline, who was
relieved by Frank Utley. Pavone
faced only 26 batters over the seven
inning route. The victory avenged
an earlier season loss to the
Ramblers.
Other public high series games
tomorrow have Coolidge at Anacos-
tia and Roosevelt at Tech. Mary
land Park visits Mount Rainier and
Hyattsville plays at Bladensburg in
