If Allies Let Hirohito Stay, Purpose a Will Be to Simplify Occupation Task

By R. H. SHACKFORD 4 United Press Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Aug. 11.—If Emperor Hirohito keeps his throne— as seems possible—it will be because the allies believe a peaceful Japanese government can best be established with his help. American officials said today that such a decision would not mean a blank check for the emperor. His position probably will be ‘carefully defined by the allies and somewhat circumscribed, :

“Do you think the allies ‘should accept the Japanese

the right to retain their emperor, Hirohito?”

Indianapolis businessmen, educators, religious leaders, government sharply in their opinions on Wiis

officials and housewives clash guestion. Some would accept the terms strictions on the emperor's power,

An educator feels we—not the Japanese—should make the decision

as to whether or not Hirohito remains, but believes the emperor might form the nucleus of a democratic Japanese government. A housewife declares that should accept nothing less than unconditional surrender. Here's what they say: Mayor Robert H. Tyndall: the emperor is only a symbol of their religion, let them keep him, and let us accept their surrender terms. But he must not be allowed to have any power whatsoever.” Dr. Guy O. Carpenter, district superintendent Methodist churches, Indianapolis area, and = pastor Broadway Methodist church: “I feel we should accept the Japanese terms and end the war. If the Japs keep the emperor of Japan, they will have a government head to deal with. The trouble with Germany now is that there is no government head of the country.” Senator Homer Capehart: “If Japan meets all the terms of the Potsdam declaration, but insists for the time being on maintaining their present form of government with their emperor as head, then, in my opinion, we should accept their surrender, We should deal with the emperor when facts can be estab-

lished as to whether or not the

emperor has been an arch criminal | and whether or not, after the Japa- |

nese people are given an opportunity |

to’ express themselves, they are desirous of the emperor and their present form of government.” Mrs. Harold Keltch, 722 N. Euclid ave. housewife: “We asked for un-

conditional surrender and we should |

take nothing else. We can't let them dictate the peace because we would not bé the victors.

And even though I hate to lose any more lives, I think we should continue until the Japs surrender un- | ‘conditionally.” Fr. Ambrose Sullivan, a returned | chaplain of world war II, pastor of Holy Cross Catholic church: “We

’

Retention of the emperor would be on a strictly utilitarian basis— utilitarian for, us. . Japan is on her knees.. The end of the war is in sight, whether the emperor is retained, or ousted and branded Japan's No. 1 war criminal. There is no tendency in:ahy official circles to think that the war can be ended only, by retaining the emperor. On the contrary, the reason. ing is that his retention- will be in the allied self interest. It is be-

simplifying the actual surrender and in helping to stabilize Post-war Japan. If the allies should decide to oust the emperor, there is grave doubt among many allied officials about the possible internal reaction in Japan. Most of American experts on Japan, furthermore, are extremely doubtful that some of the Japanese army elements — especially those on the Asiatic ‘mainland— would obey a surrender order from anyone less than the eniperor, One possibility is that the allies may reject Hirohito but agree to a continuation of the institution of emperorship with some Hmintations. In such an event, the throne would go to the 13-year-old heir apparent, Crown Prince Kotaishi Akihito. Perhaps in anticipation of demands for Hirohito’s removal, Tokyo newspapers today featured stories and pictures of the young prince. The newspaper Mainichi said it was “a cause for nation-wide gratification” that Akihito “was never in better health, though going through the same strict daily routine with classmates.” Japan will not receive a simple “okay” on her offer to accept the Pottsdam unconditional surrender terms. with:-the understanding that they do not prejudice “the prerog=atives” of the emperor. The Big Powers are not going to place themselves in a position of accepting Japanese terms. The acceptance must come from Japan— acceptance of the allied terms. By raising the emperor question, Japan hit upon one of the most controversial topics involving the Pacific war. It had become a political issue of large proportions in

Hirohito Horse Isn't Arabian; It's U. S. Pinto

COMPTON, Cal, Aug. 11 (U, P.).—If Adm. Halsey goes through with his intention of riding Emperor Hirohito’s: white stallion down the streets of Tokyo, he'll be riding a California pinto and not an Arabian, the horse's onetime owner said today. “The horse is a Western stock horse, bred in California,” trucking operator Dewey Burden explained in an article in Western Horseman. “He came of pinto stock and was foaled and raised in the San Joaquin valley.”

sharply defined lines: To keep or t6 eliminate the Japanese emperor. Reaction Mixed

Congressional reaction to the Japanese offer reflected that division. It ranged from those who believed retention of the emperor would simplify the allied problem of administration to those who believe ‘that Hirohito should be treated like Hitler. The Japanese emperor's position is a difficult one for the western mind to understand. There is no ruler comparable to him in the {occidental world, He is regarded | by the Japanese as a sort of god— | sacred and inviolable — as well as ‘the stabilizing political element in the government. Yet he is in no sense comparable to the pope in the Catholic heirarchy. Japanese government, religion {and philosophy is filled with con- | tradictions. ‘ “Prerogatives” Set Forth The Japanese constitution of 1889 sets forth the “prerogatives” of the emperor in detail.

Speculation on a possible special session of the legislature was ‘rife in the statehouse today as an aftermath of peace developments, Rep. George Henley (R. Bloomington), Indiana house majority floor leader, said he thought a special session “would be in order within a month after V-J day.” Other state government bufeaus, nowever, minimized the need for reconvening the general assembly. Rep. Henley based his theory on the fact that specific post-war food allocations are not yet appropriated. He also cited “the general war pressure” under which much of legislation in the 1945 regular session was enacted. He pointed out

house of representatives (the lower house of the diet).

Close to Religion

The emperor's position is closets] allied to Shintoism, a national re11%.0n Undersecretary of State Joseph C. Grew, who has been the major target of those who want to eliminate the emperor, contends that there are two forms of Shintoism: (1) An “indigenous peligion” which believes all nature to be a manifestation of or the dwelling places of dieties; (2) a cult without religious Significance which supports the idea of divine origin of the emperor and ancestor worship. It is the latter which is designed to instill in the individual habits and obedience and gubservience to the state. Grew, ambassador to Japan for 10 years prior to Pearl Harbor, believes that Shintoism can be a force of good as well as of evil; that under a peace-seeking ruler it can be an asset and not a liability toward development of a peaceful nation.

Might Be Balancer

Grew told the senate foreign relations committee last December: “The emperor institution might « « « be the only political element capable of exercising a stabilizing influence (after the war).” He said he did not want the United States committed in advance to a policy which might deny it the use of that stabilizing element. That, he said, “might conceivably fix. on us the burden of maintaining and controlling to an indefinite period a disintegrating community of over 70,000,000 people. » The decision of the allies on retention of the emperor may be based pretty much on Grew's thesis. Its opponents contend that the emperor is the root of all evil in Japan and

‘|that emperor worship is deliberately |,
