But they will not mention the victory which was a necessary prelude to all the others, the military caste’: conquest of the throne itself. This it was that gave them the imperial prerogative u a weapon w win sum. plete domination oi the thought and life ef the people.

There is no doubt, however, that the Emperor cult, manipulated by the warrior caste, is a profoundly important factor in the catastrophe which has overwhelmed the Pacific world. It is the basis of the unan- imity of the Japanese people, their acceptance of the warlords tenet that to die for the Emperor is the highest glory. It also supports the savage warrior code which makes possible such outrages ls the execution of some of the American flier: who raided Tokyo,

living symbol of this destiny.

Conquest of Japan will involve more than the recovery of the areat continental and Island territories she has overrun. more even than in- vasion of the "land of gods." Men who have long knowledge of Japan believe that unless it results also in a fundamental change in the Jap- anese mind, in the replacement of the god-Emperor cult and its corrol- lary beliefs by something far less sinister, Japan will remain unfit to re- sume her place in the family of nations.

Bitter Russian-Polish Qisvvte. .18 . Continued

N0 Sign Of Healing Of Diplomatic Breach Despite Day’s Developments.

LONDON, April v 2S—(CP)-The bitter Russian-Polish diplomatic breach precipitated by German!" “Smolensk graveyard sbcflv" was as wide as ever totilgtit after a day which brought these developments:

i. Soviet publication of articles which led observers to believe Rus- sia would demand ii put-go of the Polish Government in London 0T the creation of a rival regime on Soviet soil.

2. A London Polish Government appeal “for the release’ of all figiting Poles now in Russia, and a. declaration that the Poles "have no nced i0 defend themselves from any suggestion (by Riib m of cou- tact or understanding with Hitler"

The Poles also asked that Ritssia release "tens of thousands of Pol- ish orphans and children," and families of Polish fighting men. saying that these people-many of whom are regarded by Russia as Soviet citizcns-"are particularily‘ precious" to a future re-estnblish- merit of Poland "in view of the German mass slaughter" in that country.

S. A Nazi-organized "medical mission" which will conduct an "inquest" at Kntyn Fhrcut neat’ Smolensk where the Germans say 10,010 Polish officers were murd- ered and buried by the Russians.

4. Prime Minister Churchill con- fcrred with Premier Wladysiaw Si- korski in an effort. to heal the nt tvirc, but apparently had made iitie headway. British official-i were working closely with those of United States officials in attempt- lng to repair the hole in the Unit.- ed Nations’ political lineup against the Axis.

Today the Soviet newspaper Izvestia printed an article by Wanda Vas- ilcvsknya, identified 8s resident of “the Union of Polish atriois.“ in which site said: "We are sure the Soviet Union will ve us Poles in the Soviet Union the op- portunity of fighting our cmmtry shoulder to shoulder with Soviet citizens."

Vasiievskayra said the Sikorski govemrnent in London was illegal and did not represent the true Pol- and, and observers immediately saw the implied possibility d: the establishment of a Polish military lléidliil organization in the
