Ask Safety For
Emperor flirohilo
(Continued from Page 1
Japan has long been one of the
most debated points. The emper
or is regarded in Japan as a god,
above all morlul strife. Because
of this, some students of Japan
have lung speculated when the
time came for Japan to surren
der the offer must be made by
him.
Japan's fighting forces are most
widely dispersed. The Japanese
are fighting the British and In
dian troops in Burma; Chinese
and American forces in China
proper; Australian troop; in the
islands of the stoulh Pacific;
Americans in the Philippines;
Russia in Manchuria, Korea and
Sakhalin.
Whether the emperor who was
cited by Tokyo radio as initiating
the surrender offer could main
tain effective control over such
fire-rating Japanese forces as the
quasi-independent Kwantung
army against which Russia is ar
rayed was a question.
