Tribune: "East Asia Honors Emperor ... 200,000 join in ceremonies at Luneta." Japanese political and military achievements use the same propaganda multiplier. When I told Penny that the crowd was kept 100 meters away from the reviewing stand with a buffer of school children and the Constabulary Band between them, another fellow ventured, "It's pretty hard to hit anyone from 100 meters." Incidentally, Tanaka released a speech the day before. I'm not even sure if he attended.
