JAP Bl U I*F A Tokyo broadcast this week indicates that the Japanese war lords are trying to sell their people the idea of ,rosnt ance en masse to invasion® and suicide. en masse if resistance fails. This is implied 4n thé Domei agency’s summary of a plap to place “the entire nation under the per- sonal crtunand of the Emperor as armed forces of the impérial fighting services.” These civilian levies | must not “allow themselves to be taken prisoner alive or die dishonorable deaths.” Obviously this is a large order for a nation of more than 72,000,000 people. To the Occlfidnnlal mind the project doesn’t seem con- sistent. | The Japhnese started this war in order to | acquire An empire. into a state of mind in which they don't even con- template retaining a population on the home islands. How can a nation without any people hold its own in a world like this? We must suppose the expected that these admonitions that every Japanese become a soldier and every soldier die contain an element of rhetoric. Regular ‘Japanese Army troops can be hypnotized into killing themselves rather than surrender. The supply of suicide pilots has not run out. Civilians, even Japanese civilians, | are different. And even the Domei broadcast contains a slgmflfflnt phrase about “disturbances that may be created {by subvervise elements.” These “elements” might b¢ Koreans or other slaye laborers. ‘They might | be Jspanes" too.

SOVIET GENERAL SHOT This caused the second most se- | (Most severe strain occurred when | pass and Kkilled a Russian $Thc Japnnhe nation cannot be unanimous. to the last \dm]) of blood. A successful invasion 'might turn up ‘qlulo a number who would sweaf that they never ‘mok much stock in the imperial divinity and its fat- | reaching aspirations. It would be foolish to underrate the kind of re- | sistance our troops will meet when and if they land {on Kyushu or Honshu. It would also be foolish to overrate it. After the main cities have been destroyed, factories burned and lines of transportation cut, even | the Japanese cannot conduct a modern war. They cannot get far by enlisting old men, women and little boys, or by sticking daggers into their own anatomies. What they are trying to do at present is to win a compromise peace by presenting a_ picture of such horror that the humane Occidental temperament cannot endure it. They overdo the effort. Japan will surrender when she has to. She has a remark- |able number of suicide fighters—the “Kamikazes"— but when they are gone the light of reason may dawn on the survivors, Reahshc Women (Washington Post) Much as women now working in factories and :offices niay long to:escape to the so-called sheltered life when peace comes, it is increasingly evident that most of them will try to hold on to their jobs—at | least until they see definite guarantees of their bread tand butter elsewhere. The recent survey by the | Women’s Bureau of the Department of Labor showing |that 80 per cent of the women employed in the | Buffalo area are planning to stay at work after the |war ends is an example of an attitude prevailing | widely both in this country and in England. In the Detroit area the Women’s Bureau found three out of four women workers determined to work after VJ-Day. }Eighty per cent of Britain’s women workers are icounted on to continue in the job market. | In the early days of the war, both American and rBrmsh women warworkers expressed freely their desire lto “go back home” when their jobs were finished. | This gave much comfort both to men worried about ‘postwnr unemployment and to rock-ribbed conserva- Itives who were disturbed about women's invasion of the field of industry. Now women seem to be getting more cautious. Even those looking forward ultimately to homemaking careers don't want to relinquish their | jobs until husbands or fiances returning from war are settled economincally. These women also recognize | the possibility that their men, because of war in- juries, may be unable to hold full-time jobs. Of the Buffalo area women who plan to work, 95 per cent live with their families and 9 out of 10 of these make weekly contributions to the family household. Two | thirds of these give up in this way 50 per cent or more |of their take-home earnings. Children, aged parents, rinvalid husbands, minor .brothers and sisters consti- tute their responsibilities. Also many women have |for the first time tasted the indpendence a pay check can bring. As a British woman factory worker ex- pressed it, “a pound of your own is worth three of your husband’s.” The steady increase of women in industry during recent decades is primarily a development of the industrial age. From census records, it is estimated |that one and a half million of the women who |entered the labor market during the war would have |done so had there been no war. Pestwar employment | planners predict that about three million of the ap-| | proximatly 18 million women now employed will give up their jobs when the Japanese are defeated. Many mere would probably like to do so. But the machine has decreed othvrwn:e revealed ~that she had | been cruelly tortured. Meanwhile, as of May 26, all Americans visiting the home of U.

On May 30,! the Bulgarian Government inform- ed Barnes that no attempt would be made to violate the asylum he | had given Dimitrov. Since then, Communist arrests | of Agrarian leaders have increased, apparently with the desire of re- moving the one strong political | party which could rival the Com-| | munist ‘Party. The Bulgarian Prime | Minister admitted to the British “harge d’Affaires that Dimitrov; had committed no crime and they had no charge to make against| him. . However, as Agrarian leader, he was the one man who could have formed a new anti-Communist government successfully. Since then, ‘American officials have not been molested.
