THEN Little Matsui, Japan’s Big Gun in China, Has Been Army’s “Bright Boy” 40 Years By RELMAN MORIN AP Feature Service Writer TOKYO—The little man with the biggest job in China today is Gen- arul Iwane Matsui, Japan's “bright b0y."” He commanded the Japanese army at Shanghai, smashed China’s “Hindenburg Line” chased a de- moralized enemy up the Yangzie River to Nanking, and then pierced the massive walls of the Chinese capital and took the city This triumpnal entry high spot of a notable life. Bright From the Start He became ‘“the bright boy” ol the Japanese Army 40 years ago in the Tokyo Military Academy. His instructors were not quite sure about young Matsui. They grudgingly ad- mitted that his grades were the highest, his boots the shiniest and his solutions to strategic problems the most brilliant in the Academy. was ihe In case of error or if an ad " FOR RENT — 2-room and 3-YOOM (anq4 that against the competition |of such men as Sadao Araki, who later became Minister of War, and Senjoro Hayashi, one day to be Prime Minister ) But Japan’s vague uneasiness about’ “West Point” felt a this stu- His nimble brain juggled technical problems and performed military acrobatics with too great facility, his instruc- tors reported. The Japanese army likes its men to work hard for what they get to encounter great difficulties in their preparation for future wars. Mat- and never had to work hard. Reputation Grows Forty years of soldiering on the Asiatic mainland have only added to Matsui's reputation. He was an officer in the Russo- Japanese war. He came through the terrific battle of Port Arthur without a scratch The next few years saw him move up the line, with no better than nermal speed. Not even brilliance, such as he is credited with having, can dislocate the machinery of pro- motion in the Japanese army. Up to a certain point, the only way to climb the ladder is by having birth- days. Matsui was a staff officer in the Japanese Expeditionary Forces dur- ing the World War. Then he cam- paigned at Manchuria and Mon- golia. The years passed and he reached the Supreme War Council, was a delegate to the Geneva Arms con- ference in 1931. The outbreak of this'current “in- cident” was Mats big moment China His Hohby For more than ten years, he had been one of the leading funm.xatoxs of Japan’s China poicy. He has been the backstage director of that policy ever since the Tanaka Min- istry in 1927. Japanese say he knows more about China, from a - military, political and even a geo- graphical living man. China has been his hobby for decades. t is one of the paradoxes of the present campaign. that. Matsui has been a close friend of China's Gen- eralissimo Chiang Kai Shek for They met when Chiang, as a young student, entered military college in Japan. That friendship has been continued through the years, the two men meeting occas- standpoint, than any ENUFE BRAING TER POUND SAND (N A RAT Holl | lllmlfllllfllflllll"' DURNED RISTERCRATS HAWT GOT SHN-- DoNT MAKE & SCENE-, i [ / “@6 9. =" I ionally with almost fraternal fection Matsui is known as the intricate, tre Chinese politics leding direction an € oS xpert in me of Thus, know- was seen behind “victory parade” of the Japanese iroops through the International Settlement in Shanghai. This, Japanese claim, caused Shanghai's white government to lose “face” no end with the Chi- nese masses Matsui’'s biggest job lies ahead He is confronted with a hostile gov- ernment, a citizenry of uncertain sentimen an effective military force and the whole Chinese countryside. Shining for Last Time He must decide how deep to penetrate the interior, how far to chase the quicksilver-like Chinese army He must gard against a “re treat from Moscow " As his lines of communications lengthen, they grow increasingly thin, increasingly susceptible to puncture: His victories have brought great problems. Likewise, because of the curious mechanism of Japanese politico- militarism, they probably will spell oblivion for him when he returns. The Japanese army does not believe in heroes. When a man gets too big, he is shunted to some corner- pocket, or retired. Unless some new crisis appears on the continent, Japan's “bright boy” is shining for the last time Matsui is scraggle-toothed, un- handsome, unsmiling, laconic He is 59 years old, married but childless He smokes the cheapest cigarette obtainabie and is interested in only two things, a mongrel dog be brought back from Paris—and the China problem. - FOOD SALE By Methodist Ladies’ Aid—Tomo! row starting 10:30 am. at Bert's Cash Grocery.
