Jap Emperor’s Brother Under Arrest
Received Friday, 7.20 p.m. LONDON, Mar. 11. The Japanese Hmperor’s brother, Prince Chichibu, has been under close arrest for fifteen months. Ho 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 Chichibu’s arrest but procured only a slight modification of his brother’s confinement. It was two months bcforo the Mikado even knew his brother was arrested because of the almost complete isolation in which the militarists keep him. it was officially announced that Chichibu was suffering from tuberculosis which nobody believed. The jmblic certainly have not seen him since Pearl Hivrbour. He was reputed to bo a prominent member of the peace party in December, 1941.
