JAPANESE BOOK CAUSES A STIR
Tokyo, Aug. 8. Late this afternoon the Japanese Government will issue an official atatement designed to end complete ly the controversies resulting from the publication of Professor Minobo's book, presenting his famous theory
It is understood that the state- ment carries the unanimous opinion of the Cabinet, including Admiral Mineo: Obsuml, the Minister of Navy, and General B. Hayashi, the Minister of War, opposing Profes sor Minobe's theory regarding the Constitution.
While newspapers predict that. Professor Minobe will be punished, the matter rests with the Depart ment of Justice, and will not be in the mentioned official statement, which it is reported, is brief but clearly disavows Professor Minobe's theory as opposed to Japan's nation- al thought.United Press.

Dr. Minobe's new book contends that the Emperor is the highest organ or institution in a sovereign state.
Those who oppose the Minobe theory assert that "The Emperor is the sovereign state."
[
Debate in the House of Pears hus lasted longer than usual and has aroused feeling against the famous scholar.
Other members of the House of Peers have questioned Cabinet members sharply as to their attitude towards the theory. Most of them have evaded discussion although all have expressed the hope that the discussion would soon end.
Dr. Minobe has contended, among other things, that the supreme command of the Army And Navy should' bo placed onder à minister of state.
Delicato question
This has made the question ex- tremely delicate for the War and Navy ministers, aince it brings up the question of "divine origin of the Emperor.".
The discussions in the Diet seem to show that the most generally accepted theory is that the Em- peror is not an institution but that he is "The State."
So far the matter. of divine origin has not been touched upon. It is rarely discussed anywhere but it must naturally be consider. ed In any academic treatment of the Japanese government.
The Japan Year Book deals with the-subject-in the outline of Japanese history under the title of "Prehistoric Era."
It then states that in the dim age of "Divine Beings" the Sun God- dess sent her grandson to Japan, that "Our descendants shall rule forever."
Many persons 'have described Dr. Minobe as a very brave man for causing discussion of such a sub- Ject which rouses the displeasure of the ultra-patriots.--United Press,
