The "Divine" MacArthur

Wellington, Feb. 3.-General Douglas MacArthur, the Supreme Allied Commander in the Pacific, had assumed-the divinity renounced by the Japanese Emperor, Brigadier R. H. Quilliam, chief New Zealand prosecutor at the Japanese war trials in Tokyo, declared today.

in a speech to the Rotary Club on his return from the trials, Brigadier Quilliam said: "The Emperor has renounced his divinity. It has been taken by General MacArthur.

"He has surrounded himself with a staff which I think is must incompetent for the job they are doing

"They might be excellent soldiers, but as civil adminis trators they are hopeless"

They comprised the most rigid example of officialdom he had had the misfortune to deal with, he said.--Reuter,

They urged a change in the Home and Informa- tion Ministries, both held now by Sardar Vallabhai Patel, when the Government was reformed. "The Home Ministry must be entrusted to a Minister who will be able and willing to curb organisations of hate," they said.
