Prime Minister Abe made an offering to Yasukuni Shrine on the occasion of the autumn ancestral rites and the aide to him visited the shrine instead of him.

A commentary of Minju Joson Wednesday notes that the Japanese reactionaries' frequent tribute to the Yasukuni Shrine is not aimed to observe etiquette and morality for ancestors.

It goes on:

The Japanese reactionaries regard the shrine as an ideological and mental center for militarist revision.

Their acts to revive the blood-stained past are an outright challenge to human conscience and justice, and an intolerable act against humanity.

They seek to open up the future of the country through militarist actions but they are gravely mistaken.

Their desperate acts to realize overseas aggression while doggedly denying the blood-stained past crimes, being carried away with the departed soul of militarism which was sternly punished by history, will only make the future of Japan gloomier.

The future of Japan dreaming of militarist revival can not be otherwise just as the Japanese imperialists drank a bitter cup of defeat while getting keen on continental aggression.
