The lot for the building, of course, already has been secured and funds are now being raised to pay the estimated $75,000 for construction The Memorial Library Board— Regional Forester B. Frank Heintzleman, Commissioner of Mines B. D. and Commissioner of Education James C. Ryan — has been soliciting individual and business | donaticns in Juneau with gratifying results. To date i more than $20,000 has been pledged, and if the Board's anticipations are realized, work may be started on the new building by the spring of 1948, as planned. The complete cooperation of all Juneau organiza- tions and individual businessmen has been sought with gratifying results. Each organization, small or large, has come through with flying colors. We are nearing the halfway mark in realizing our goal, and we are sure that we'll make it the rest of the way. | ma g 1 Stewart N A e oa Has Japan Really Turned Democratic? | t 1 1 1 1 (St. Louis Star-Times) Reports from General MacArthur's headquarters | | Rus — — democracy just as ducks always take to water, and , that, compared with Germany, the occupration of Japan |is a breeze and a picnic However, things may not be as simple as they seem, warns The Christian Science Monitor. This weil- ‘informed news paper is afraid that the Japanese re- actionaries ¢ feigning conversion to cur ideas as a means of continuing their strangehold on the country. And its warning is backed up by American observers on the scene as well as by Japanese liberals. They say that the real interests of the Japanesc people are being sacrificed for the sake of “stability” and that the government has actually been turned over to “the burcaucrats, industrialists, militarists and landed aristocracy who used the Emperor as a puppet in order to fasten their own grip first on Japan, then on the whole of Es and who finally grew audacious enough to believe that they could win a war against the United States. The Star-Times long before the war’s end was among those speaking out for the removal.of the Empercr—not on perscnal grounds but because he is the fount of that politico-religious Shinfoism which has been condemned as the device used by the Zai- batsu and the militarists to maintain their hold on the people. The report of an American economic mission urging the elimination of this group from power, was published cnly recently. The fact that it is still nece sary to push such a recommendation at this late date shows that the cccupying forces have har gone all out to suppress the Japanese war-makers Some substantiating evidence of this is to b found in the numerous dissents of memoers of the Allied Control Council from the steps being taken by General MacArthur ahd especially from his expressions of frienaship toward the present Japanese govern- ment. If such dissenting votes were cast only by the Russian member of the council, they could be dis- counted easily enough. But it is more disturbing to find the British and the Chinese members also voting against the American representatfve. Certainly, British and the Chinese are not inctined to pl: Russia’s game any more than we are. Thus, while the new Japanese consitution is a model of democracy, there is reason to question whether it has been acceoted by the Japanese ruling class or whether it is merely giving lip service to democracy in an effort to ingratiate itself with the United States. The question at once arises why, in view of the de-Nazification laws on which we insi so strongly in Germany, there is not more discrimina- tion agains tthe Japanese war lords. According to the Monitor, American military men are inclined to close an eve to phony elements ‘n ihe new Japanese democracy on the theory that we need a strong Japan as a possible base against a truculent a. These soldiers are said to be doubtful whether China can ever be sufficiently consolidated to ser this purpose, and so they are inclined to keep in power the men who ruled Japan by methods of terror and near-slavery to prepare it for a war against the West —provided that the reactionaries will take our side against Russia Now, there is no quetsion about the necessity for firmness about Russia and a need for realistic policy in the Far East, but we may be borrowing bitter trouble if we wink to fascism out of fear of com- We cannot afford to forget that one is as other.
