Last week these lines were announced as His Imperial Highness Emperor Hirohito's contribution (not eligible for a prize) to the annual Imperial Poetry Contest. Far more frankly propagandistic than Emperor Hirohito's efforts of past years, which always discreetly hid the Japanese Army under lotus leaves, branches of mimosa and the burgeoning cherry, this year's poem was released in an inopportune week -a week singularly illustrative of the famous lines on the same subject by that other imperialist, Rudyard Kipling.

Concrete pillboxes, sunk into the earth and covered with sod, guarded all main avenues of passage. In the thick fir forests hid the Finns themselves, trained since childhood to use their knives as cleverly as an Alabama Negro uses his razor, and since joining the Army to aim their machine guns as accurately as a sharpshooter aims his rifle. Finally, there was the snowstorm...
