	The way to Pearl HarbornJapanese plans in East Asia
		Prince Konoe, who was the PM in 1941, was faced with a dilemma: he did not feel ready to go to war with the U.S., and on the other hand, he was not ready to withdraw Japanese troops from Indochina as US requested, which was his springboard to southeast Asia.
		Prince Konoe, who had become pro-fascist, still hoped to negotiate a friendlier U.S. attitude toward Japan.
		Not willing to make the imperial house too obvious an aggravator for war, after Prince Konoe's resignation in October 1941, Hirohito rejected the nomination of Prince Higashikuni as the next PM, but instead nominated General Tojo who was consistently for the war in southeast Asia, as the PM.

		Konoe had persuaded the Lord of the Privy Seal, Kido Koichi, that he should handle the revision of the Constitution in a capacity similar to that of Ito Hirobumi as a “special appointee” of the Office of the Privy Seal, that is, of the Emperor.
		However, a power struggle ensued between Konoe, who had no formal office, and the new Shidehara Cabinet over control of constitutional reform which ended when SCAP became concerned about Konoe’s war record and suddenly repudiated Konoe’s work on the Constitution.

		The cabinet resigned very soon, but Konoe secured a post at the imperial court as adviser to the emperor on constitutional reform and asked Takagi to serve as a liaison between him and GHQ and to provide advice as an expert on the United States Constitution.
		In late November Konoe presented to the emperor his report on "the essential points of revision," which he had drafted with Takagi's advice, incorporating the suggestions received from State Department officials in GHQ.

		MacArthur actually asked Prince Konoe Fumimaro, the former prime minister whose government started the 1937 war against China and signed the 1940 pact with the Axis, to advise him about constitutional reform.
		That Konoe's conservative proposals were abruptly rejected revealed the elite's misconception that reform could be minimal.
		The veterans' letters, Konoe's suicide, and MacArthur's imposition of a new legal system that promised human rights, free political expression, new educational systems, and decentralized police authority -- all symbolized the stunning openness and opportunity that suddenly seemed to blanket Japanese society.

		Pinning their hopes on Konoe's not-yet-arranged mission to Moscow, the emperor and Kido [lord keeper of the privy seal, his closest advisor] waited and waited for a response from Moscow--a response that Ambassador Satô and others repeatedly stated would never come.
		As Konoe rightly suspected it would, the emperor's attempt to end the war via Moscow turned out to be a complete waste of time, and amounted to an imperial decision to postpone facing reality.
		Started by the first Konoe cabinet at the beginning of the China war, the campaign sought the participation of youth about to be sent to war, exhorting them to "respect the Shinto deities," "serve the state," and rush forward to victory in the war against China....
