By Charles a. Hogan stars and stripes staff writer after the defeat of Germany official spokesmen in Japan seated that their a sacred War would continue. The word a a sacred is a key word in the japanese War. It is necessary that we understand it As the japanese use it for it involves the emperor Hirohito who May play a vital part in determining the length of the Pacific War. For while the japanese military clique May control the troops it is the principle of emperor worship which makes them die hard fanatics whom the american gis not Only have to defeat but also dig out and kill without the support of the emperor the War could not be defined As a sacred or  to Date Hirohito has been an Enigma. When he came to Power in 19n, he chose for the name of his reign the word Quot Showa which Means a a enlightened  Many competent observers close to him before Pearl Harbor said that Japan would have never gone to War if the emperor has a Small part of the Power attributed to him. Without doubt the late president Roosevelt was so advised of the emperors disposition toward peace because just a few Days before Pearl Harbor the president went Over the Heads of the japanese leaders and sent a message directly to the emperor an unheard of procedures asking that the problems of the far East be settled in a peaceful manner. In a previous message to the president Hirohito told him of his a a Earnest endeavours a to keep the peace. The alleged vast Powers of emperor however were usurped by the generals and admirals and Hirohito was looked upon by Many As merely a Pawn doing the bidding of the military. The uninformed masses of Japan victimized by a controlled press believe it to be a War for the emperor. Those who believe that the pm Porer supports the War completely and wholeheartedly Point to the fact that he has done nothing to show his disapproval of it. His solemn pilgrimages to the grand shrine of the Sun goddess to Pray for a a Devine assistance and his tripe to famed ise shrine where he prayed few Victory Are interpreted As indications of his support of the military. Hirohito pictured above in his ancient ceremonial Robes becomes More of a question Mark As the War against Japan rises to s Climax. The japanese themselves add to the fog which surrounds the pm Porer s role in the War. When reverses occur they blame the army that he will become a self imposed exile in Manchuria when the United nations invade the japanese Homeland. For being a a god As Well As an emperor his flight from Japan would in effect leave his people without a god. Those who know him say that he is too concerned to desert his people. Since the return of ambassador grew now acting Secretary of state our state department has followed a policy of not condemning Hirohito. This policy has provoked Sharp criticism from those who feel that the emperor is the Symbol of japanese militarism and should not be spared others feel that the emperor might at the opportune time Aid the United nations in making militarism impotent. Its around him that the new Japan May be built. This May be fact or fiction. At present Hiro Hitous role remains a puzzler.
