UNDER CLOSE ARREST
BROTHER OF THE JAPANESE EMPEROR ACCUSED OF SYMPATHY WITH ENEMY POWERS. . REPORTED TO BE MEMBER OF PEACE PARTY. (By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright) LONDON, March 11. The Japanese Emperor’s brother, Prince Chichibu, has been under close arrest for 15 months. He was arrested the day after Pearl Harbour on a charge of being “sympathetic to enemy Powers.” The “Daily Mail’s” Istanbul correspondent reports that this was revealed by a traveller from Tokio. The Mikado repeatedly protested against Prince Chichibu’s arrest, but procured only a slight modification in the conditions of his brother’s confinement. It was two months before the Mikado even knew his brother had been arrested because of the almost complete isolation in which militarists keep him. 1 It was officially announced that Prince Chichibu is suffering from tuberculosis, which nobody believed. The public certainly has not seen him since Pearl Harbour. He was reputed to be a prominent member of the Peace Party in December, 1941.
