S. 1S AT WAR The people of the United States who clamored for the immediate return of American service men from overseas, when the actual fighting ended in Ger- many and Japan, will realize their mise take when we point out that up to this time no peace treaty has been made with either Germany or Japan. The state of war continues so far as official declaration is concerned,- certain economic and legislative controls. are in force and there is considerable difference of opinion as to the methods to be used in relaxing these controls. No unanimity of opinion is yet apparent on the exteny to which the governments of these na- tions can be returned to the full control of their citizens. ~-mustanesa omentum eagpemrpencenaetinenatanenatninieamnnanesetyninatrensnemtni CMOS HMONG PEP CAAPALEEEETOH ACHP SHER ATER ETCETERA LEO HELE ETAT HE HHO ERE PERE PROPER RECEP * CPR RORERE PORTH RO ee The Communist are not the only peo- ‘ple interested in rewriting the history of the world to prove a few points.

Mr. Truman seems to be convinced that the free na- tions can protect the peace if they will arm themselves adequately. to meet any menace. There is the chance that the President may be correct. : There is no -way of knowing whether war can be avoided, Sr not. Nevertheless, it is well for the free peoples of the earth to make every effort to prevent the out+ break of World War Ill. To this end it is Vitally important that the United States constantly affirm its will for peace and explain to the world that its present pre-: Barations are designed for self-prosect- ion and not for aggression. In the face of the stupendous rearma- ment program one can readily wunder- stand the effect of Soviet propaganda if it is not countered by effective American publicity. If the Russians are permitted te dominate the publicity that reaches the subject peoples of the world, they may be able to convince ignorant people that; the democracies are preparing for — af- fensive action. {AP Wirephoto) JUDGE MICHAEL A.

Herbert Hoover “did it,” with a complete plan for the reorganization of the Executive branch of the Govern4 ment. Congress is about’ ta ‘ approve - thi Hoover Plan. One thing that the Plan will do will be to cut down taxation and the reckless spending of money by the Gov. ernment. The President and the are enthusiastic in praise of Hoover. They even eall him a great statesman and a great gentleman. So: Congratulations, Herbert!

FEW COMMUNISTS .IN’ PERSIA A Communist crisis in Iran is- remov- ed, according to Supreme Court Justice William 0. Douglas, who has-just returna ed to this country. after a visit of some weeks to Persia, where he ‘lived- at least a week. with each ofthe four principal Iranian. tribes. Justice Douglas says that the Persians “are highly individualistic, with ‘a’ pase sionate love for their land or their vils lages,” He finds “very-few Communists" in Persia and points out that the Kutds; who recently rebelled, are “not pro-Ruis= sian but pro-Kurd.” He thinks that they are now leyal to the central government. The judge, incidently, was in India for a while to prepare for a mountain- climbing expedition in the Himalayas next year. After he settles dawn, it is suggested, he plans to write a book on the tribes of Iran.

SENSE Washington correspondents have been listening to recent news to the effect that President Truman is coming down to earth. He seems to be in better shape to face the stern realities and facts of our. National conditions. There is new courage showing up in top political headquarters in Weshington- The United States and the United Nations are preparing to. knock the stuffing out of the Soviets. Uncle Sam has got his baek up. The Communists can't win.
