City Gov- LeT THE JAPS LAY DOWN THE SWORD What the Japanese think about the “neonditional surrender” demand of the United States is apparent from the Tokyo broadeast which tells us that pressure from the American people will compel President | T to modify it. : “Moreover, the end of the war against Germany has removed the incentive for collaboration among the United Nations, the British are war-weary and the people of the United States are disgusted with the American policy “meddling in oriental af- fairs.” So say the Japanese. In brief, we must forget the treacher- ous attack upon Pear) Harbor, the death of our fighting men in the Pacific and the bru- talities that the Japanese have inflicted upon the white men they captured in order to destroy the influence of western civiliza- tion, ‘The only reason there is war between th@Puited States and Japan is that the Jap- by the United States in relation to China, the Philippines_and other areas.

The faith of the Japanese in power warfare, as an instrument of national poli- ey» was never exceeded by the Germans. The enemy's faith in the sword must be de- stroyed and the only way to accomplish the joli is to make the Japanese understand that the sword is a two-edged air. Until | Tokyo renounces its faith in militarism there | is no basis for possible peace and only un- eonditignal surrender will prove the re- nudciation to the Japanese people. ~ “PAIR PRICES” MEAN WHAT? . 1 Nearly every politician proposes a per- mapent plag*to provide “fair pices” for ag@iculturalists but the term is subject to a iety of meanings and the trouble will come in efforts to implement a program. 3 A “fair price” for farmers must, de- pe@@ upon the standard of living that fayners are to enjoy.

People in Key West, as well as through- out the world, heard it repeated hundreds of times that the war had come to an end, that peace was here again, that we were in the postwar world, about which we had been speaking so much, and still it is hard to realize the changed’ conditions. In Key West, three years ago, we be- gan to talk of, the postwar world, and there was activitity for a time in making’ prepar- ations for the conditions that would arise in that period, but the activity ceased, and the talk about postwar projects ceased, with recurrences of the talk now and then, and here we are now in the postwar world, wondering what we are going to do in ad- justing ourselves to conditions essentially identified with peace. The end of the war with the Japs was the greatest climax of struggles of nation against nation in the history of the world. And just before the end of the struggles, we were ushered into. another era, the atomic era, that undoubtedly will change, after a few more years of experimenting with smashing of the atom, our mode of living }in a hundred different ways, for we may be sure that, just as the atomic bomb is the greatest weapon ever invented, atomic en- ergy will be harnessed for industrial uses. We have been too close to the world’s scientific ‘and industrial progress during the war to visualize its full significance. Radar, ithe precision sighting instruments while airplanes are in flight, the V-bomb and a score of other inventions, culminating with the atomic bomb, will be analyzed by his- torians and, generations hence, the people of that day, will, from historical and scien- tifie volumes, become more familiar with those wonders than we are—we who with living when they were coneeived and put into execution, and are still living without having fully appreciated the full signifi- cance of the inventions, but, instead, have taken them very much as a matter of course. So goes: the world, so has gone the world since man appeared on Earth, and so will go the world as long as Earth and man | last. Peace—the interim nations prepare for the burdens of civilization were heaped on their shoulders. We can’t say who won the war but we are certain that those who are responsible for our black markets didn’t do the main work, VANDENBURG’S SUGGESTION Senator Arthur H. Vandenberg, of Michigan taking cognizance of the discuss- ion as to the right of the President to com- mit this country to the use of military force in connection with the United Nations or- ganization, suggests that the President have authority to decide all questions in connec- tion with the use of the limited armed forces that the United States will pledge to the support of the organization. "°°! The Senator would require that the President would “obtain explicit Congress- ional authority for the commitment of any armed forces beyond the quota established in our basic agreement with the Security Council.” This provision, it seems to us, should be adequate protection for those Americans who might be dubious about the course that might be pursued by future Presidents. It permits the United States to fulfill its pledge to cooperating nations and, at the same time, thoroughly protects | approval of Congress. | Under the proposal of Senator Vanden- | berg, the United States, as a member of the | new organization, would join with other countries in providing adequate police force to keep the peace of the world. Nobody ex- pects that this police power will be suffi- cient to curb any of the Big Three nations, because a martial conflict between them would precipiate another world war. | Having ratified the San Francisco agreement, the United States is honor bound to fulfill all requirements, explicit and im- | plied. If other nations agree to contribute | a specified armed strength, then the United | States must do its part. Obviously, this mili- | tary police force would be impotent if, be- fore any action could be taken, there must be a delay to await the approval of the Con- | gress of the United States or the elected | gests that they work for a living.

Remember, you get all the credit if it is a success.” “And it will be all my failure if it isn’t.” She answered coolly, from the shadowy depths of the eab. “Oh, the sale will go off all right,” Christopher replied cheer- fully, holding the taxi door open and suddenly wishing he could think of a good reason to stay with her a little longer this eve- ning. “You'll be surprised.

I’m go- “ing to make sure of being on the job next morning.” From where I sit, Bill Webster has the right idea. When Peace comes, there's going to be a whole new world to build.
