Since Deâ€" cember, 1941, only two other Amâ€" ericans have talked to Hirohitoâ€" Gen. MacArthur and New York Times Correspondent Frank Kluckâ€" hohn.â€" Both visits were strictly formal. affairs. "Our chat was a very informal one, lasting exactly 25 minutes. We discussed golf, the weather, and my trip to Japan mostly," the news executive said. "There were three Japanese officials in the room with us and they agreed with everything the Emperor said by nodding and smiling constantly. Speaking was Mr. Hugh Baillie, president of the United Press, the first American to sit down, talk, and have tea with the Emperor since Japanese capitulation.

Mr. Baillie, long a leader in the fight for world wide press freeâ€" dom, said the Generalissimo told him press freedom would come to China as soon as conditions were normal. â€" "He didn‘t say specifically when thatâ€"would be," Mr. Baillie comâ€" mented, ‘"but he seemed to imply that it might be soon. _ And I hope "There should be no dark corâ€" ners where plots against the peace and the freedom of the people may be concocted behind their backs.
