Chester W. that we might made by Admiral day to the effect Japan to surrender without an | invasion of her. home islands deserves far more | attention than it received. Not only did it indicate that we have or shall soon have the capacity to inflict tremendous punishment on Japan, but also that the exercise of this power may persuade the Japanese of the unwisdom of fighting on to the bitter end Unlike Germany, Japan is a country of distinctly limited industrial capacity. In the months after Pearl Harbor she won great victories on'a shoestring, her principal asset being not her own strength, but the weakness of the forces she attacked. Once the Allies had succeeded in restoring the balance of military power in the Pacific Japan began to suffer defeat and Today Japan and has The Nimitz the be able to force statement other has continued to be defeated ever since. is hopelessly outclassed in the air and at sea been beaten on every land front, except in China The result has been that we are today in possession of naval and air bases from which we can increasingly carry the war to the enemy. Moreover, once Germany has been defeated, which may not be far distant, all the tremendous power the Allies can then muster will be thrown at the Japanese Already we have demonstrated that there is no corner of the Japanese Empire that is out of range of our heavy bombers. These instruments of death for our enemies are being turned out in ever in- creasing numbers so that in due course we shall be able to launch against Japan an aerial assault com- parable to that which knocked the props from under Hitler’s war-making capacity.

Warren Moscow has been covering Mr. Dewey, beginning back in the crime-busting days in New York City. In recent years, as the Times’ Albany correspondent, Moscow has been something of a pain to the Governor, due to his penetrating, sometimes embarrassing press con- ference questions. So the other day, Times publisher Arthur Sulzberger received a call from Roger Straus, New York industrialist.

The Emperor and his circle may also feel that while unconditional surrender would certainly the destruction of Japanese militarism, it might not neces- sarily the destruction age-old Japanese itutions. Japan’in the past has accommodated s2lf to hard facts when she had to and she ma: again. Under pressure from Germany, Russia and France, she gave up of the, gains acquired as a result of her successful war in 1894. Under pressure from the United States she gave in on the Shantung issue in 1922. In this respect history may repeat itself. However, neither Admiral Nimitz nor any other American military or naval leader is banking on a Japanese surrend If Japan can only be defeated by invasion then we are prepared to invade: In the meantime the certainty of her ultimate defeat is being brought home to the Japanese daily and on a dozen sectors of the far-flung ific front. are faced b; who see no can, ind inevitable mean mean of hel do it some she Civil Rights in Hawaii (Washington Post) Lieutenant General Richardson’s decision to re- linquish the title of military governor of Hawaii has climinated at least one of the various points of irritation between the military establishment and the civilian population of the islands. By precisely what authority or legality this title w: assumed in the first place by General Richardson's predecessor is not clear. far as we can learn, the office of ernor” had previously existed only in conquered or occupied territories or in districts actually or tech- nically in a state of rebellion, and it is not much wonder that the residents of Hawali, who are of course as much citizens of the United States as say, Kansans or Californians, were sensitive on the point On the whole, General Richardson appears have adopted more conciliatory and tactful pol toward the civil authorities and toward civilian sen- sibilities than his predecessors. However, it does not appear that in his surrender of the title the Army has made any further surrender of its powers over ivilian activities, The division of functions between military and civil authorities apparently remains just what it has been since March 10, 1943, when General Emmons permitted a certain measure of civil govern- ment to be resumed. In other words, although the actual front of the Pacific War is farther away from Hawaii than the European battlefront from our Atlantic seaboard, the islands remain in a state of quasi martial law. Re- cently, there has been complaint not only about martial law but also about the enormous emergency powers vested in Governor Stainback by the Hawaii Defense Act, which presumably would remain operative even if martial law were entirely revoked. The suspension of civil rights by the military and the exercise of extraordinary powers by the territorial governor, though in both cases of doubtful legality, might have been justified as emergency mieasures when Hawaii stood in imminent danger of invasion, but it is hard to see how they can be justified now. Hawali is still and is likely to remain the great central base of all war operations throughout the Pacific, but this hardly seems a reason why Amer- ican citizens in Hawaii should be denied liberties enjoyed by American citizens on the mainland. to uasion from Democratic Pub- When | Iicity Czar Paul Porter, who hasn’t in | iked recent pictures. .
