The ban, which is understood to have been in force for some time, was imposed at the suggestion of Far Eastern advisers for the BBC.

The reason given is that denunciation of the Japanese dynasty as an institution is undesirable because Japan's monarchy might be useful in a post-war settlement. This restriction even goes so far as the discontinuance of radio discussion of Hirohito's guilt for Pearl Harbor and the war. According to one version, the topic was discussed at an earlier stage between British and American authorities, who were agreed. Obviously the results of such an agreement differ widely in both countries. While inde-pendent commercially managed broadcasting systems nothing about it, and someone with whom we can do business after Japan's military defeat.

Here are the facts: THE PUPPET MYTH: He went willingly into that role, with power to act but refusing to use it. He was advised to prevent the army's rise to power, but preferred not to do so. THE INNOCENCE MYTH: Since 1867, the Japanese emperors have had nothing to show but an unbroken line of international crimes 76 years of rule with aggression as an end, hypocrisy as a means, and death and destruction for millions of peaceful Asiatics. THE PEACEFUL MYTH: He has been pictured as opposed to war. Actually, he did nothing to stop it and in fact urged his soldiers on to their barbaric deeds.

Japanese wars are declared only by the emperor. THE SAINT MYTH: He is supposed to have no material Interest in war. Actually, his vast fortune is Invested In all kinds of enterprise and he is collecting huge dividends from the war boom. It is his most successful financial adventure. in the U.

S. A. and separate stations enjoy complete liberty on questions of policy, the BBC possesses a monopoly of all broadcasting in Britain, A recent inquiry among members of the British parliament revealed a sharp cleavage on party lines on the future treatment of the Mikado. Those favoring a pussyfoot policy toward the emperor were found almost entirely among the conservatives. The Liberal and Labor Party members' questioned insisted on Hirohito's war guilt and called for drastic action against the dynasty after Japan's defeat.

The conservative view evidently won the day completely in determining the policy of the BBC. This Is the Real Hirohito The process of building up Hirohito as a Badoglio has been going on for some time. The whitewash brush has tried to cover the stains on his royal toga and the propaganda has tried to picture him as an Innocent puppet, a prisoner of the military, a really nice person who doesn't like what's going on In Japan but can do fraud, and part of the drama of whom she has placed upon the stage so that she might scourge make up one'a mind.

The S. S. had to pause and ask for army aid. But the army refused it, awaiting orders from Berlin. The orders came, of course, and the fortress was bombarded.

But suicide squads, in German uniforms, broke through the lines with hand grenades, and blew up German tanks and themselves with them. Now the German command ordered the whole fortress destroyed by incendiary bombs. Inferno descended, and thousands perished. The survivors concentrated all in the center.
