Patriot 'Togo' Sends Message
To His Native Japanese People

Concert Band
To Play Today

Scholarship Winners Named
0.

By ROBERT MANTHO
Togo, the Japanese patriot whom
the military government of Japan
seeks to liquidate, knocked on my
door yesterday. He said he wanted
to talk to me - understood I was
a reporter - and pleaded it was for
.he sake of Japan. "Youi must print
3 messageto my people that the gov-
rnment and Matsuoka are leading
Japan to ruin!"
We stepped into my room - and
I heard Togo's story. His eyes shone
brightly as he told it. He spoke quick-
ly and gestured emphatically.
"Back in the fourteenth century,"
he said, "the germ of the idea that
the Japanese Emperor was God began
to be felt in Japan. A group which
sought to gain control of the govern-
ment made this concept its cardinal
policy and attempted to glorify the
Emperor as much as possible."
The more glorious .the name of the
Emperor was made to appear, the
easier it was to keep him out of sight.
Then the group went to work and got
rid of the Emperor's aides, substitut-
ing themselves in the vacated posi-
tions, he continued.
"It was not long before the Em-
peror was made a mere figurehead,
locked up somewhere and performing
only ritual routine. But the succes-
sive groups in control were essentially
patriotic and every act they per-
formed under the name of the Emper-
or was calculated to promote:the best
interests of Japan."
There came into power some time
ago the family Ashikaga, Togo told
me. And the deeds of that family are
looked upon by the Japanese today
"with deep distaste."
"Never before in the history of
Japan was such shame brought to
its people than during the regime of
the first family of Ashikaga. Today
the Japanese want to forget that dark
and terrible time."
With this as a background, Togo
caine to the point: "1I understand

you are a reporter. And I need a
Newspaper to help accomplish what
I seek to do for my country. Some-
how what I say must reach the
Japanese people! What I say must
be disseminated in my country.
Every Japanese patriot must be
maderto realize that the present
military government in control of
Japan is leading our country to
ruin! You are the man I choose to
perform my mission."
He became excited and his voice
rose. "You must print this message
to the Japanese people.f"
Who shall I say sends this mes-
sage?" I asked him.
"Togo, the Japanese patriot, who
loves his country more than life it-
self."
So here is Togo's message to his
Japanese people, exactly as he gave it
to me:
"To our great "dismay, Matsuoka-
san (honorable Mr. Matsuoka), the
Foreign Minister of Dai-Nihon (of
the Great Japan), is following the
well-beaten path to Berebtesgaden,
still warm from the footpads of
such servile fellows as Mr. Schuss-
nigg. Never since the dark and
sorrowful days of the first Ashi-
kaga has a government official
been so depraved. Never before has
a minister of Yaomato identified
himself with slaves! Japan has nev-
er seen such a thing!"
He wouldn't say any more - who
he was, what he was doing in this
country, why he sent the message.
As far as I know, he's still Togo,
the Japanese patriot, "who loves his
country more than life itself."
