We published a photograph on Monday of Prime Minister Tojo in the midst of a crowd of ordinary people intensely interested in following the wrestling matches. With the Prime Minister were his daughter and Finance Minister Kaya. Behind and around them sat students, merchants, and people in all walks of life and of all strata in society. The Prime Minister never looked more robust. It was plain to see that he was enjoying himself as much  as the other 30,000 spectators.
    This picture, we think, is Nippon's best answer to the grandiose words of President Roosevelt to the American Congress about what the United States would do to Japan in 1943, words which were meant to throw fear into the Japanese people and cause our statesmen to spend sleepless nights.
    It is such insignificant things as a picture of the Prime Minister at the wrestling matches that it is possible to gauge the true state of affairs in a country. It augurs well for us that the Prime Minister is able to mingle among the common people and enjoy a few hours of exciting sports with them. It is reassuring to the millions of ordinary leader overflows with energy despite the weighty affairs which occupy him day and night.
    By a strange coincident we published yesterday a news item to the Asahi from Buenos Aires regarding the mode of life which President Roosevelt is leading at present. According to this report, newsreels show the once smiling and healthy chief executive of the United States as a skeleton of his former self. We can well understand this, for it is common knowledge that Roosevelt's unpopularity is such today in his own country that he dares not mingle among his people and wherever he goes is protected by a ring of heavily armed G-men.
