Pearl Peterson Ed Garnick Roy Abrahansen (Bremerton Sun) We are hearing occasionally that the word “un- conditional” sheuld be stricken out of the term “un- conditional surrender” applied to Japan. Those who make this suggestion argue that Japan ishould not be reduced to total defeat, because then | we should lose a valuable bulwark against a growing China and an ambitious Rus: Why we should fear a China is hard to understand. On the contrary, our | dreams of “four hundred million customers,” cannot come true until China’s standard of living has been raised. A developed, industralized China may well prove the world’s greatest market place, contributing to the well-being of all other nations i As for Russia, we do not know that she will ever bother us. Japan has done so. We should be making a poor gamble in exchanging a possible aggressor for | a certain one. Russia has no creed 2,000 years old demanding that she conquer the earth. Japan has.

Accord- | ing to the estimate of the American Jewish Committee there were 8,939,608 persons of Jewish faith in Europe in 1039. There now remain in Europe, outside of Russia, about 1,250,000.

With these exceptions, the difference between the two stated figures can be accounted for in just one way; cold- blooded, scientific m murder. Hitler hoped to be remembered a thousand years.

Incidentally, most ¢/ the Potsdam agreement was settled while Win- ston Churchill was still Prime Min- ister cof England. For better or worse, it stands as a monument to him. By the time new Prime Min- ister Attlee arrived, most of the Jjob was finished, and, inasmuch as he had sat in on the preceding talks, he OK'd all that Churchill had done with one exception—| Spain. Attlee caused the declara- tion against Franco to be streng-! thened. BALKAN BICKERING Bickering over the Balkans also ended in a stalemate. The “Big Three" could get nowhere regarding | the Axis satellites, except on the non-Balkan country of Finland. In describing the problems con-| fronting the “Big Three”, thi column reported on July 20, 1945, that Stalin last May proposed Allied recognition of Hungary, Bul- garia, Rumania and Finland, but that Truman then was only wil- ling to recognize Finland. The column also reported the American Minister in Bulgaria had been held almost a prisoner in his own legation by Soviet troops. At Potsdam, therefore, proposed that they review the situation in Finland, Bulgaria, Ru- | mania, et al, first. It nish situation was satisfactory, a stable government formed, and Truman renew diplomatic Finland soon. Then came the question of Bul- garia. Stalin said that a democratic government had been set up, and that democratic elections were to be held in Bulgaria. At this point, Truman pulled a letter from his pocket and said, in effect, “Oh Yeah?” The letter was from an Agrarian (Peasant Party) member of the Bulgarian Cabinet, stating that there could be no free elections under the present set-up and no democratic system in Bul- garia. The letter was addressed to the Bulgarian Prime Minister, the American Minister in Bulgaria, and the Allied Control Commission. It proved a bombshell. Stalin, taken aback, said no more about Bulgaria. Next day, the Agrarian Cabinet member dropped from the Bulgarian Cabi- net and the question of holding free elections in Bulgaria went over to the meeting of Foreign Ministers to be held in London before Sep- tember 1.
