Emperor may face war charge
LONDON, England (UP) – A Foreign Office commentator said today that Japanese surrender terms did not “preclude consideration of war crimes charges against Emperor Hirohito of Japan.”
He was asked to state his views in the light of Australian charges that Hirohito is a war criminal.
He said the surrender terms had referred only to the “Office of the Emperor” and not to Hirohito personally.
Members of the new Jap Cabinet, even if acceptable to the Allies at this time, will not be immune to war crimes charges if they ae preferred by any Allied government, the commentator said.
