So much, too, for Tokyo's story last week that humiliated Japanese were committing mass hara-kiri in front of the palace. Then Kasuga said a significant thing. Asked by O'Malley what American prisoners of war were fed, he said the "government did not let any such information reach our ears. We know little or nothing of prison camps." Two naval construction lieutenants nearby corrobated his statement.

The imperial gendarmes and th'e army authorities who ran the1 camps enjoyed not only the familiar immunity of Japanese militarists but they ruled the people with such terrorism that merely to be suspected of thinking about what went on could be a crime. Kasuga San, in his generation, has had little chance to overthrow this state of affairs. How they came about is not entirely a matter of the present. The real causes lie partly buried in the past, in the complex of things that went on both inside and outside Japan to make her what she has become today.

Desk Chairs 5-95to10-95 By JAMES D. WHITE Associated Press Staff Writer. SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 30 W) The tongue of a grey little Japanese school teacher was freed in Japan today. He spoke through an American correspondent, Richard K.

O'Malley of the Associated Press. Let us listen closely, because this apparently is the nearest thing to the common man of Japan talking we have heard so far. What he thinks on the basis of what he knows or doesn't know about the war may be more important than the vague rescripts of his emperor, the sudden self-criticism of some of his militarists, or the gropings of his regimented press. Hideyoshi Kasuga, instructor in English at the high school of Meiji university and now serving as an interpreter to Japanese surrender ceremonies at Yokosuka naval base, modestly confirms Admiral Nimitz' statement of yesterday that the war was won the hard way. After the fall of Okinawa, said Kasuga, "We knew that our fate had been sealed; we knew that the war was lost." So much' for Tokyo's clails that only the atomic bomb Russia's declaration of war did it.

"We had been deceived before, and never knew of our reverses in the Philippines." Since January, Kasuga said, Tokyo had eaten only rice and beans and peas. Not meat or fish. Wearing a baggy grey suit and button shoes, the teacher went on: "Our people are dejected, but their hearts are warm. I am sure no one will attempt to make trouble." Later he said: "We know the war is lost; there is nothing left to do but to cooperate and act correctly." Just how "warnv" the hearts of the Japanese people are today remains to be seen, but it is refreshine to learn that nt Dole's Pineapple Juice 35c Pasco Orange Juice 6 NCL2 1 Bruce's Grapefruit Juice 29c Pasco Orange Juice. 6 1 SINCE 1 89 Corner 12th Ave.

Discussing his nation's acceptance of the allies' unconditional surrender terms, Lt.

Hiroshi Tamaki, who came aboard this marine loaded transport to guide it through mined waters to landing beaches near Yokosuka naval base said: "The Japanese people will be patient and disciplined. The emperor ended the war. Therefore, the people believe it is a good thing, although they are unhappy because it was defeat for us." He said the Tokyo populace was suffering heavily from lack of food and a housing shortage, caused by bomb damage. "Life is very painful there," he said.
