Me Case for Our JapaneseXolicy
There are still many Americans who resent the fact
hat' Emperor Hirohito still sits in his palace and gives
rders even though the orders are passed along to him
rom General MacArthur
They would like to see the Mikado suffer Hitler's
ate and worse They regret that his palace wasn't bomb-
cl They now want to see him tried and executed or at
east imprisoned And looking back at the last decade's
istory of the people whom Hirohito leads it is difficult
be unsympathetic with those who would give him the
Torks Yet there are matters of expediency which appar-
ntly have dictated the American policy and which can't
e ignored t 1
First of all the Japanese language and the Japanese
haracter are strange to most Americans Our Army in-
ludes manymen of German ancestry or who have visit-
d Germany We could send in an adequate force of
erman-speaking officers and soldiers to set Up a military
overnment upon the chaotic ruin of the Nazi regime
his couldn't have been done in Japan
Secondly Hirohito isn't Hitler After the Nazis' afall
lost Germans with weaselly hypocrisy fell over them-
elves in their haste to repudiate Hitler and absolve them-
elves of any connection with his partyBut the Allies 1
-on't find many Japs denouncing the emperor
In the third place the German army was thoroughly
efeated while the main Jap army wasn't An order from
eileral MacArthur to disarm and demobilize would prob
bly have been met with heavy and costly fighting even
bough the Jap cause was doomed But even intact Jap
rmies obeyed the emperor
Obviously Hirohito or any Japanese emperor is a
owerful figure and when imbued with military atnbi-
on or controlled by militarists a dangerous one As such
e is an enduring threat and it may be hoped that even-
ally he will be put away But first he has a purpose to
rve 4Pitliffil
And what of the emperor-worshipping Japanese
eople? Can their thought be modernized so that they
lay take their place in a civilizer world?
Perhaps an answer to that can be found in the record
f the Nisei troops who fought so gallantly for America
Many of these young soldiers were second or third
eneration Americans Their parents and grandparents
ame from the same culture and environment that spawn-
d the faatical enemy Yet the Nisei soldiers' loyalty to
emocratic principles was unquestioned
Perhaps the mental and moral rehabilitation of the
Lative Japs is a two or three generation job But there is

EDSON'S WASHINGTON COLUMN
1ST PETER
NEA Washington:
WASHINGTON D C—Now you take this issue of pleats tucks
" and shirrings It just goes to show that there are still going 01343
plenty of things to get all het up about even if the mean olgl War is
all over but for the reconversion
You'd never dream how much peacetime eco-
' c 744' t-x nomic significance there was in a pleat a tuck' a

t 41 gpreeradtagyatahnedrinfagrs oinftothtehheaniriygh-othoeustteadtstehicehyvavaer bpereon-
e '
4: holding two Industry Advisory Committee meetings
vie duction Board trying to decide what should be
done about pleats tucks and shirrings
Edson It seems that the Marquis of Queensbury rule
governing pleats tucks and shirrings is WPB OR-
DER L-85 L stands for Limitation Back when the war was new
and there was a shortage of everything it seemed there wouldn't be
enough cloth
'
SO to conserve textiles the garment industry leaders were called
together and submitted to L-85 after 84 other things had been
taken care of Among other things L-85 took all the pleats tucks
and shirrings out of female attire FOY the duration
But comes V-E Day Comes V-1 Day Comes cut-backs of textile
requirements for uniforms tents parachutes bandages and blankets
Lo and behold first thing you know there's a coming surplus of cloth
Three points of view and the industry split down the middle on
each question The Children's Sportswear Industry A C—no not
Athletic Club Advisory Committee—says take off the controls and
put back pleats tucks and shirrings now The Women's Dress In-
dustry A C says keep 'em out till after Dec 1 The Women's Cloak
and Suit Industry A C says keep 'em out till March 1 1946
THE trouble is that a lot of the garment makers have their fall and
winter models already made up—and without pleats tucks or shir-
ring& If WPB now knocks out L-85 the high-price-line manufac-
turers will immediately put all these extra trimmings in new models
and the women—silly dears that they are—after four long weary dull
years without pleats tucks and shirrings will flock to buy them
But then Paris comes into the picture The Paris dressmakers
haven't any L-85 to cramp their style and they're draping yards and
bolts of stuff on every conceivable curve
Who's in charge around here anyway? Did de Gaulle bring his
minister in charge of pleats tucks and shirrings along to work this
out with Leo Crowley? Won't the French settle for a few million
tons of coal and keep pleats tucks and shirrings out for six months
more? Hurry on back here Congress and let's get some of these
Important things settled
